Gary Johnson

No, actually have policies that resonate with the voting public then do the work of selling you as a deliverer of said policies.
His policies haven't resonated and as far as selling himself ----- he kinda blew it
It is all about filling pot holes and convincing voters you can fill them better and faster than the next candidate.
Gary Johnson doesn't do that.

Granted he can't compete with (R) post Palin
But he can't compete with (D) either because , speaking as a (D), his policies are non starters

Guess that is what makes him a niche' candidate.
Niche' is a French word

Man - seeing that media manipulation against Paul just pisses me off all over again. The actions in Maine, Iowa, and Nevada were so laughably criminal it's sad. And then what they did at the convention.

It's made me completely lose faith in the integrity of our elections. And it played out again this year with Bernie

We will never know now. No matter how far you think he would have got there is no denying there was major voting fraud committed by the RNC against Paul and he was largely ignored by the media which is absurd considering the support he had.

I have a hard time seeing Paul lose to Obama in a general election. The party shills like Limbaugh and Hannity would have got on board. You can't tell me Paul is too extreme for them now that they are backing Trump. Paul is a strong Christian so the sky fairy nut jobs should support him. I think his message ending our wars of aggression both foreign and domestic would resonate with a lot of young voters that typically vote democrat. They were less than enthused with Obama at the time.

The only way I see Paul losing to Obama is if there was a revolt by some of the Republican base like what happened to Trump. What would they do, vote Libertarian? Not to mention Paul dominates every debate and would have humiliated Obama in a live debate.

Me too. I think someday historians will point to this election as the end of American democracy. Both candidates have over 50% unfavorability ratings. When **** like this happens in other countries we question the integrity of their election.

I think it's time to nationalize the primaries. If only 2 parties are allowed to run for president then we can't allow them to rig the election so we can only choose from **** sandwich or a giant douche.

Really I think a parliamentary system is what we need. We need to get back to voting for people in our elections instead of voting against people. I would estimate only 25% of the people who will vote actually like their candidate. The rest just want to prevent the other side from winning.
 
yeah blame the media for ron paul being a ****, nutso candidate. what's that self-responsibility thing mean, again?
 
it's a good thing he didn't compromise in anyway at all on anything.

it did a lot of good

or else he might would get elected and actually have to do something
 
So cut Johnson some slack, libertarians. If anything, Trump’s conquest of the GOP shows that a message based on cultural conservatism and economic collectivism (in the sense of an all-powerful president “solving” economic problems by battling with other governments over trade, currency, and immigration policies) is a lot stronger than the old social liberal–fiscal conservative combination the libertarians offer. In the end, Johnson will at least double or triple his showing of four years ago, when he won less than one percent of the vote. Beyond that, there’s always future hope for libertarianism each time an adolescent picks up a copy of Atlas Shrugged.
