    Yep.

    What a contrast between him and the awful other two.

    Looks like Ohio still refuses to recognize the Libertarian Party and will not allow Johnson on their ballots...sheesh..he's only 4% from getting into the debates as of yesterday but Ohio is cock blocking him

    Really, 11%? I haven't been tracking the 5 polls that will be used to determine the debate participation, but most of the polls I've seen show Johnson dropping a bit in the last week.

    In any case, Ohio doesn't matter for the debates. They are national polls and they don't take into account whether he's qualified on the ballot in any particular state.

    Actually - no. It was a perfectly nice ad, but not exactly convincing. Sort of 'Gary Johnson - he likes apple pie and puppies'

    Hell, I like apple pie and puppies. I shouldn't be president, and neither should Gary Johnson.

    Ok, just kidding. I hate apple pie and puppies. The flavor of the puppies overwhelms the pie.

    If you would remove your blue glasses for a minute, you'd see that there's nobody left in the race who should be president. It's a matter of avoiding the most toxic of the dreck that remains. That leaves me with Johnson as the only ethical choice.

    Policy, which for some strange reason named Trump has not been discussed at all in this campaign, matters. It matters way more than the personal quirks of the president, in the long run.

    Johnson might (or might not) be more ethical than the other two, but he's disqualified (in my opinion) because of his policy ideas.

    At least he tells you what his policy ideas are. Hillary's are malleable depending upon the views of the highest bidder.

    That is a misleading statement - in fact Hillary's policies ideas are fleshed out in much greater detail than Johnson's. compare https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/ to, well, it seems that Johnson's site is broken and redirects to http://oops.johnsonweld.com/

    In the words of Rick Perry: "Oops"

    I don't think that is a fair statement either - what evidence is there that she is any more 'buyable' than Johnson is?

    Not sure they could be any vaguer about why anyone should vote for their party.

    I doubt that ad gets them even 1 single vote.

    You guys and your aged puppy meat. Not tender at all, might as well eat dog. I much prefer newborn puppy carpaccio.

    What planet do you reside on, (I would ask if I didn't know you were just deliberately playing dumb)?

    Let me provide a few thousand credible links to vetted facts proving her crimes of graft and treason.
