Most if not all, at least those in national politics. For Johnson, who let's not forget wants to be Commander in Chief, to be unfamiliar with the second largest city in a country in which we are engaged militarily is bizarre to say the least and perhaps even disqualifying.

The country at this time is a two party majority system. Parties like the Libertarian Green would need to form a coalition if they ever won this major office. Does anyone think that could happen in today's world? Talk about grid lock and a do nothing congress.

This election I like the majority will be voting for the lesser of two evils. I think HRC can and will be a good President. I just wished for some young new blood this time around.

We have winner-take-all elections. There's no prize for coming in second, let alone third or fourth. Two major left vs right parties, by the nature of human personalities and swings back and forth, can take turns winning (absent gerrymandering). Third parties pretty much can never win.

Here is one way to support Gary Johnson, vote for Hillary instead....sort of.

The idea of voting for someone less well informed than myself is ridiculous.

I've thought about voting for him, but only because I despise the other two. The Libertarian vote gives me an out. I can still fulfill my duty to vote, but have a clear conscience when he loses. I know; "That's a cop out.", and you'd be right. It is.

But, that's what I'm down too. Sad times indeed.
