I am not a fan of Johnson who I don’t recognize as a true libertarian. That said, the fact that the two main parties can successfully use their power in state legislatures to block the third largest political party in the United States from access to the ballot in so many states is disgraceful.

I'm not a fan of allowing someone to jump in at the last moment - and run - without putting some skin in the game...after the other candidates have fought through primaries and months of battle and $$$ - someone should be able able to just "Oh, I think I'll run for President now that I don't have to face a primary and all the rest of the hard work."

I think the date one can jump in should be closed soon after the primaries - still not fair, even then.

And people who vote for a spoiler whom they KNOW can't win - should just be honest and vote - in this case - for Hillery, since they're only doing this to defeat Trump - which IS a vote for Hillery.

One thing for certain sure - they're not voting for America - and should be not be voted FOR ever again for anything.
