Diseases desperate grown
By desperate appliances are relieved,
Or not at all.

America, meet your Libertarian Party.
I'm guessing the media is overselling their potential impact in an attempt to have something interesting to carry on about during the lull before the California primary.
Even beginning to see chatter about election going to the House.
Same crap every 4 years because not enough interesting stuff is covered
And of course, the Slate author JUST had to pick out the most loony individuals at the convention to use as examples of what a "typical Libertarian" looks like.
I took an on-line issues survey over the just concluded holiday weekend to see where I fall in line with, or not with, the five remaining presidential candidates (2 Dem; one each Lib., Green, Repub.). My highest alignment was with Gary Johnson, the Libertarian, followed by Hilary. Trump was dead last by a large margin.
Didn't see the survey. Expect Johnson might win mine but I know I wouldn't vote for him. So far, this year he really has not yet talked about issues
Ahh, eight years ago it was all about PUMA and party chairs trying to be neutral. And "what if" because remember Robert Kennedy.
Now it's just he's just making it difficult for no reason… He's not even a D.
Let everyone vote. If /when she wins, then we can forget all about PUMA and foolish RFK references and focus on Trump.
Speaking of Trump- he's going to win Florida.
Will he put the electoral math in play if he can run close in OH, PA, MI, and NJ?
Check out Luntzs' interview on CBS…He says the 11% NOTA vote as a base could easily swing a three party election….less easily a Clinton/Trump contest, but it will depend, he says, on who they think they can trust….
Link?

Sorry…just got back in…
Thanks!
Poor Luntz. He really doesn't seem to know which way is up anymore. He used to be so good at creating the catch phrases his party needed t get people to vote against their interests. Now his world has been turned upside down
Trump will not win Florida. Eating taco salads won't cut it when you accuse cuban americans of killing kennedy.
What information do you have that people like Charlie Cook and Chrystal Ball doesn't?
Florida is leaning (heavily) Democratic, Pennsylvania will go a big Blue D.
Ohio is a bit iffy, and New Jersey is a solid D.
Perhaps you may have some info on Georgia and Arizona–while the lean (very shakily) R, some pollsters are saying if certain things go certain ways–whatever that means, Georgia AND Arizona may very well go blue in this election.
And Charlie Cook is not biased towards Dems.
The KKK and neo-Nazis love him. Look who else has joined the ranks of Trump supporters…

With friends like these….
MaybeKim is his running mate?
Maybe they met through whoever does their hair.
ROTFLMAO BC!
Springs roads are notoriously bad and got there via the idiotic Republican principles that 1) government is bad and, therefore 2) should not be funded. As Grover Norquist slept in ecstasy and Dougie-boy Bruce plotted future felonies against his fellow citizens the Republican Monarchy instituted its plan. R's continue this assault on our daily lives at the state level as well:
But taxes, so no.
South Carolina is in the thralls of a similar Republican reign with quite predictable (except to those who deny reality and facts) results:
Republicans say government doesn't work and they work to prove it constantly. Their m.o. continues and years of road neglect will take more years to fix.
Why no one can be morally neutral about Donald Trump.

Paul Krugman chides the press for selectively using data to hype a boring reality

They have to create drama during the lulls. Let's hope, once the charade of a remaining race between HRC and Bernie is over, they'll look to exposing Trump for the charlatan he is for something to talk about. It won't hurt his standing with his supporters but should do some good with the stunningly low info voters who are still truly undecided (at this point meaning utterly clueless) and to get some of the less enthusiastic non-Trump fans off their asses to vote to keep him out.
