John Anderson was VERY visible in 1980.
He was literally all over television.
I could not even tell you what Gary Johnson looks like.
He’s north of 8%? Seems highly unlikely.

He kind of reminds me of a stoned version of John Kasich for some reason.
He’s all over Facebook ... that probably explains his relatively high percentage in polls ... however, like you, I find it unlikely that he’ll get that much support in the election. Moreover, if he does appear on TV and starts talking, I suspect he’ll snag more votes from Clinton than Trump. He’s a left-leaning Libertarian ... and I don’t think his message resonates well with centrist RINOs.
If Johnson plucks votes from the mainstream party candidates, they’ll mostly be centrist Dems sick of the Democratic Party, but too brainwashed to ever pull the level for a Republican. I think the Democrats will see to it that Johnson doesn’t appear in the debates for that reason.
A friend of mine was working on behalf of John Anderson. I asked her what was the reason to vote for him because all I really heard from him was that he wasn’t Reagan and he wasn’t Carter. She couldn’t or wouldn’t give me an answer.
It might have been Republican in favor of abortion, but I really think there was no reason except fear of Reagan just like with Trump now. I expect this to turn out the same way except that they have much better vote fraud apparatus now.
