John Oliver’s “Nightly Show” on HBO did a nice job reviewing the four major candidates last week. Gary Johnson and Jill Stein did not come off looking good at all. Those two would be a wasted vote for the simple reason they really haven’t got a clue about a lot of things. Not all, but enough to tell me they have no business residing in the Oval Office. Then there are the other two which is a different story altogether….
Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman: Does it make sense to vote for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for president? Sure, as long as you believe two things. First, you have to believe that it makes no difference at all whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump moves into the White House — because one of them will. Second, you have to believe that America will be better off in the long run if we eliminate environmental regulation, abolish the income tax, do away with public schools, and dismantle Social Security and Medicare — which is what the Libertarian platform calls for.
But do 29 percent of Americans between 18 and 34 believe these things? I doubt it
I continue to be baffled at how a smart person like Stantis can keep beating the dead horse of this Hunny Bunny caricature. It’s so transparently silly. The real-life person of Hillary Clinton does not remotely act like this. It’s utter projection.

I would assess Trump and Hillary as similarly clueless on matters of economics and foreign relations. I am voting for Evan McMullin.

In reality, of course, it’s more like “Now we can continue to ignore Gary Johnson, who is about as relevant to this election as Vermin Supreme.”

As usual, ignoring the reasons she has, in real life, given them. In favor of the easy republican meme.

Hillary could get millennials in a heart beat by promising to get Cannabis legal at the federal level.
