Many people are dissatisfied with the two major presumptive nominees and may vote for a third party candidate. Who is the best third party candidate in your opinion? Which candidate can large numbers of people support most easily? Many polls are now including Johnson and Stein:

Johnson probably appeals to the most people.  I'll probably vote for Stein again, although I'm voting more for the Green party than for her.  And if I lived in a swing state I'd be voting for Hillary.

Without any knowledge of his policies, I'm gonna say Darrell Castle.

Johnson, partly because he's not really running as a small-l libertarian. Based on their post-nomination media appearances, Johnson is basically running on a moderate Republican platform with a libertarian streak.

The one who is actually qualified to be President, and who has a running mate who is also qualified to be President.

Relative to most third parties, the Veteran's Party is actually fairly sensible ideologically.

How does Rod Silva not have 100% of the vote?

Johnson is the only one who will be on every state ballot, so that will give him a pretty big advantage.

The Johnson/Weld ticket by far. Rest of these third partiers are just a bunch of single-issue activists with no actual goals.

Yes. Being a former two term Governor from the state of New Mexico with a solid track record, I think he's most qualified out of this pack.

Johnson appears to be the most presidential; ideologically, #ImWithJill or #ImWithGloria.

Johnson, by pure default. He's extremely overrated, but the others are simply nonentities.

Eh, many Libertarians including myself didn't thing he was the best L candidate but he's still miles better than Hillary/Trump.

Johnson due to the lack of alternatives. I have some deep ideological differences with Johnson (particularly on economic issues and foreign policy), but at least he seems to be a solid guy.

I am a socialist, but I understand this sentiment. I intend to vote for Jill Stein in November, but I agree with Johnson on several of his social and foreign policies, and I do think the Johnson/Weld ticket is the most qualified (even compared to Clinton and Trump), as it contains two experienced former Governors. Johnson/Weld would be my second choice to Stein.
