Just another quick "Fuck y'all!" flyby - let's hear it for Gary Johnson, the only candidate that's not a career criminal/perpetual business failure left standing!
No, I probably won't be responding. May the Trumpian ball-scratching/primate-esque-grunting resume on schedule...
There are things I like about Johnson, and a few things I don't agree with him on, but isn't that always the way, it seems? But, with the way the system is, 3rd party politicians don't have much of a chance. Not to mention the states that make it nearly impossible for a 3rd party candidate to even get on the ballot. If they had more money backing them, so that the general public was aware of 'em and so they could end up in the debates, then it might be different. There for a bit, Perot was polling pretty well when he ran in '92, even leading in Texas and California, but then he made several missteps. When addressing the NAACP he made a reference to, "you people", he dropped out of the race (which he later said was because Rep. operatives threatened to disrupt his daughter's wedding if he didn't) and never regained traction after re-entering it, his VP pick was an unknown who couldn't manage to speak on the issues of the time, etc.
Both prospects (Hillary and Trump) scare me. I think Hillary will cause cause even more problems for us in the Middle East and might even go so far as to end up being at war with Russia (even though we're already in a proxy war with 'em), not to mention doing even more damage to the middle class and working hard to strip away even more rights of the people (more spying on the citizens, more gun control, etc etc). After all, it was during Bill's presidency that there was talk of mandating that all phones (hardline and cellular) have the capability of remote, on-hook, wiretapping for hearing what's going on in the vicinity. With Hillary, we have a known crook, who has no regard for the citizens nor this country, and someone who has repeatedly voiced her desire to create chaos in the Middle East. With Trump we have a hothead who's got a history of shady business dealings.
