Libertarian Town Hall watch thread

[The Other Castro]

The Libertarian Town Hall is on CNN at 9PM ET. Johnson needs to try to be as normal as possible for this one.

Hopefully they do one for Jill Stein too!

One guarantee - Weld will outshine Gary once again.

Man I love Johnson but he really needs to not act wierd/twitchy/wear running shoes with a suit like he usually does in this.

Chris Cuomo said he wants to do one on his livestream.

Nah they won't do one with Stein, it will encourage bernouts to vote for her over Clinton, which is exactly what they don't want to happen. She doesn't deserve it anyway, she's only on the ballot in 20 states and is honestly crazy.

[Suck my caulk]

I wish Johnson and Weld the best. I think Libertarians contribute a lot of good ideas to the political discussion that many Americans need to hear. 70% of voters despise Trump, 55% despise Clinton, and Jill Stein is too liberal for even many Democrats. For these voters, Johnson/Weld is a good ticket, and I would like to see them, as third party options, get as many votes as they can.

Ballot Access News says she will be on 47 by the end of it.

Doubtful. Illinois and Oklahoma have passed and Michigan is quite hard, even the Libertarians didn't get it last election. And they already missed Arizona too.

It's happening!

Better than when he tries and acts cool with his peace symbol T-shirt and tweed jacket.

I'm not sure your last sentence will hold up as objective evidence in court, but I take your point. Most of the corporate, mainstream media (save Fox News) is biased in Clinton's favor, and generally biased against a genuinely liberal or progressive vision laid out by the Green Party, and will not sponsor such an event featuring Stein, even though she is the only other candidate with ballot access to 270+ electoral votes.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Tuned it just in time to see the panelists talking about Trump votes splitting off to 'Gary Hart'. This will be a good watch

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Johnson opens with the "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" line.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Gary Johnson on Obama: "Good guy."
On Clinton: "A wonderful public servant."
On Trump: "I'm sure there's something good to say about him."

[The Other Castro]

Johnson should have Weld do all the talking, he's much better.

[Classic Conservative]

This is so boring.

That was only because of a sore-loser law (which usually aren't enforced for presidential candidates) and the fact that Johnson had qualified for the GOP primary ballot before switching to the Libertarians. Stein and a number of other candidates did make the ballot in Michigan that year.

[JRP1994]

Johnson to Weld: "Please, chime in."

[The Other Castro]

Johnson: "I haven't seen a doctor in three years."

That's a little concerning.

[Classic Conservative]

This is really bad, he's not really giving hard answers to the questions.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Complete Neutrality on Obamacare? I get what he's trying to do, but it's kind of silly.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

HAI GUYS I HAZ QUESTION YOU BELIEVE IN GOD RIGHT?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Johnson's really trying to please everybody here.

[JRP1994]

Johnson:

• Raised Christian
• Occasionally prays
• Doesn't go to church
• The god he talks to doesn't have a specific religion

Interesting.
