I have sent that ad to dozens of friends the past two weeks.  If they can get up to 15%, they will be in debates, and that could make things interesting.

I agree...it would be fun to see them in the debates. I'm very familiar with Johnson, familiar enough to know he's twice as smart and about 10 times more honest than either of the major party candidates.

FDISK, give us a rundown on Johnson.  What are his strengths and weaknesses?

Wow, an actual organic discussion of the Libertarian candidate.

Easy Big Boy, Johnson isn't a REAL Libertarian. Just happens to be running under that flag.

Johnson was a very popular and successful governor. He's a centrist, slightly right of center fiscally, slightly left of center socially.  A combination that precludes his ever being nominated by either major party. As the ad states he was a very popular Republican Governor in a very Democratic state.

Oh yea...he once scaled Mt Everest with a broken leg.

That's okay, Trump isn't a real Republican.

Nope, Trump is more of a Mussolinist

It strikes me that Trump's intonation is reminiscent of Ralph Kramden.

Reason enough to vote for him.

I know what you mean.  Hillary, on the other hand, is reminiscent of Rod Blagojevich

So a benchwarmer sits on the bench, something he's good at, during the national anthem and the media makes him a celeb grande.  In my thinking, however, neither he nor the media attention will stop one cop from shooting someone when they fear bodily harm.  JMO

The flag/national anthem represent a system that allows people to develop solutions to social problems through self-governance.  The process is very slow but it's the responsibility of those who care to work towards making things better.  I understand Kap's anger and frustration, but not his venting against the principles that will allow positive change.
