Johnson is just getting more print this election than Libertarians in the past....unfortunately, I travel this road every four years....I read the party platforms; fall in love with nearly everything in the Libertarians'; then start researching their candidates and get depressed. I will be voting for Johnson this year. No way I'd want him to be president, but I feel strongly that a third party will never become a viable option until enough people willing to start voting against both D's and R's. Gotta start somewhere....I admit that I had high hopes during/after Perot, but, that just couldn't be maintained...
never been clearer that the GOP is in trouble; Priebus has been useless...Ailes, Limbaugh, and the like have co-opted and/or corrupted the message, or what I think the message should have been. If GOP goes any further down the paths it is (the party of Deplorables; and/or old white guys....) it will be a LONG time before they become competitive with Dems on any scale. I see little hope for a GOP of my own design, so at the very least I can dream of a third party that can coagulate a chunk of the independents - many of whom I imagine as being fiscally conservative, socially libertarian, and less whack job-ish than Johnson
