Gary Johnson, the new Ralph Nader.

Let's hope that he didn't leave the world as stuffed up as Nader did by getting Bush over the line.
If Trump wins I don't think he's pulled a Nader. A lot of Johnson's support is from Republicans who hate Trump, I think most if not all of the Bernie or Busters went with Stein who has been a non-factor.

You don't see the logic (which I'm pretty sure was actually about his ties that were being made before he started running, not his hats)? "It's cheaper for me to make hats in China, so I will, but I will make it as president so that it is cheaper to make the in the United States."
... which means running wages down to comparable levels to China & Bangladesh, contrary to the self interest of the people who were first screwed by GFC 1, and are now likely to be just as screwed by the next financial crisis.

I do have a lot of sympathy for the reset movement (see Zizek's argument in favour of Trump) but pretending it's all going to be sunshine and roses for the disenfranchised who voted for him (which make up a large portion of his support base) is a wild misrepresentation of the most likely outcomes.

Go ahead.

Make sure you quote them accurately though (history tells me you won't). Especially those discussing the consequences if Trump wins.

Don't know why Trumpians are so fixated with me. Him winning doesn't change my views on him or the stupidity of his supporters .
Kids, let them play as they don't know any better.

The most interesting thing for me is if Trump wins which will he tackle first?
Building the wall
Defeating ISIS with his mate Putin
Impeaching Hilary
Creating jobs for everyone
etc
etc

Same deal as Brexit with the medias crusade against Trump fuelling complacency?
Same as Brexit, but not that.


Regional America voted Trump heavily, urban areas marginally Clinton, that's what has won it for him.

That & Gary Johnson

Michigan Pennsylvania and Wisconsin where it's all at, all too close to call, and Clinton needs to win all 3, now that she's won Colorado if she wins those 3 then she should win it, but it is getting very close atm in each of them and you wouldn't like her chances
