Gary Johnson and Jill Stein sue to be part of Debates... But judge is sitting on the case.


The Gary Johnson Debate Lawsuit Has Almost Run out of Time - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Jill Stein? No. Johnson probably has a long shot's chance to win the way this thing is going. I think he should be on the stage with the other douchebag/turd. He fits in well.

I guess this was sarcasim?

The difference between Johnson's current average of around 9 percent and the qualifying 15 percent is deceptively small: He's got to nearly double his support.

NEWSFLASH- Johnson is a lot smaller than he thought he was. Changes name to "Little Peter".

Wouldn't surprise me. None of the Bush's like Trump. Hell momma Bush flat out called him a fraud and terrible. That's a lot coming coming from Barbara.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

MrJ(Kut(GPIATM))

Wait, I hadn't posted in (or even looked at) this thread. Are you in need of my services?

Does Liberty require defense?

Revisionist historians need correcting?

Are statists on the march?

Does anyone need a stinging slapdown?


I'm available to help.

Isn't an endorsement from Jeb Bush the kiss of death.
Be funny if Johnson said no thanks.

However, Clinton does still lead in the polls-plus model, which adjusts for Trump's convention bounce.

Clinton 58%
Trump 41%

So much for polls on people's opinions. I saw where one poll said that only 28% believed that the Republican Convention played well outside of the convention. Trump got a bump. So 72% of opinions were obviously wrong.

Likely Hillary will get a bump from her convention and then we'll be back to even.

Flamboyant Sanders fan blows up when Clinton supporter tells him "NeverHillary" is a vote for Trump.

Poll of active Troops: Clinton 14.1%, Trump 30.9%, Johnson 38.7%

There's an effort among Bernie-bros to get Gary Johnson to 15%, which should allow him to participate in debates.

I hope he does get on stage. I can't imagine him saying the things to get me to vote for him but it would be good to get someone to poke a stick in the wheels of the two party bicycle.

HRC should propose to the presidential debate committee 1 presidential debate and about 6 VP debates. Kaine has a better chance of doing well against Pence than she does against Trump. Heck, maybe she can let Kaine handle a couple of her debates....

 

[T.Lex]

In the polling category, some interesting movement out west: Nevada may now lean toward Trump. Florida still a virtual tie, but no post-convention polling has been released. (Which is an altogether different issue.) Ohio still a tie through the end of the convention, but again, nothing post-RNC convention specific to Ohio.

So, now, if Trump can get Virginia (trickier now with Kaine as VP), North Carolina, and Nevada, he could make up for a loss in Florida. If Trump sweeps those, then it starts looking like rout, if not a landslide.
