Love me some Weld. Red-faced and avuncular ftw.

Are Americans that stupid?

Ehh...?

Yes. The Libs should have inverted the ticket. Weld is far more eloquent and informed.

Weld doesn't have a name nationally yet. Johnson has been on the global stage for about a decade including a previous run for presidency. This ticket as composed is correct.

I've never heard of either of them but I've been waiting for the Libs to put up non-tin-foil-hat candidates for a couple of decades.  When I've seen the two of them being interviewed Johnson gives one word answers and then Weld chimes in with specific details.

No one has a name nationally until they do. See Obama, Barack. And despite his previous runs, very few people have heard of Gary Johnson.

I think it's safe to say this election has not gone the way Gary Johnson wanted. Interviewed at an MSNBC town hall, the Libertarian nominee was unable to name a foreign leader.

 

Stick a fork in him, 'cuz he's done.

oh wow, not good at all.

He is far from done, getting more and more endoresments everyday. I believe his momentum is building.

We talked about this on Facebook. All that stuff is great, but a third party candidate has to be twice as good just to be taken seriously. He has now had two major flubs on national television, both of them related to foreign affairs. A presidential candidate should anticipate those kinds of questions and have answers ready (and let's face it, they were softball questions both times). He has badly damaged his cause, and the likelihood of him reaching the 15% threshold now, with only two weeks left before the next debate, is extremely low. I'm still going to vote for him because I would still like to see the Libertarian party displace the GOP as the main center-right party in the United States. And I still think he's a decent guy who at least understands the need for compromise, as well as the fact that there are indeed some things that only government can do. But whatever small chance he had to actually win has, I believe, evaporated.

Honestly, with endorsements and more air time, he's actually doing the most good that has ever been done for the Libertarians than anyone before him.

Now, it's nothing compared to what it could've been if he was competent, but progress.

He could never win. But he'll have been that moron who said stupid things people made into memes on facebook "4 years ago" when he then endorses, and gets interviewed by the media 4 years from now.
