If it’s the difference between the Dem and the Republican winning, it’s a big f’ing deal. Helping elect a radical leftist party with a minority of the vote is inflicting enormous damage.
Take a look at the Governorships alone that the Libertarians handed to the Democrats:
Alaska: 1982 & 2014 (inc. Gov. Sean Parnell lost)
Arizona: 2002 (elected Janet Napolitano)
Illinois: 2010 (Quinn over Bill Brady)
Montana: 2012 (elected Steve Bullock)
North Carolina: 2016 (cost Gov. Pat McCrory’s reelection)
Oregon: 2002 (Ted Kulongoski over Kevin Mannix)
Texas: 1990 (”Ma” Richards over Clayton Williams)
Vermont: 2014 (inc. Dem. Gov. Peter Shumlin over Scott Milne)
Virginia: 2013 (Terry McAwful over Ken Cuccinelli)
Washington: 2004 (Christine Gregoire over Dino Rossi)
Wisconsin: 2002 (Jim Doyle over inc. Gov. Scott McCallum)
Wyoming: 2002 (Dave Freudenthal over Eli Bebout)
I haven’t even gotten to the Congressional, statewide and legislative races. The above was bad enough.
one more time, it is not the responsibility of another party to help the republicans get elected. Tough feces.
