I think its inconsistent intellectual thought that is his problem. Just goes to show intelligence is not the sole requirement needed to live an effective life.

Uh, yes. There are several to consider from the Primaries alone. The first was the billboard run in Utah depicting a naked Melania Trump. Trump lost it and accused Cruz of being responsible for the billboard even though it was sponsored by a third party. Next was Trumps complaints over Cruz' tactics in Iowa (Cruz had specifically targeted supporters of Ben Carson on election day after he had received what turned out to be erroneous information regarding Carson dropping out). Trump was a terribly sore loser in that contest even though he went on the next few weekends to win (and gloat) in other contests. Another was Marco Rubio's comment about Donald's small hands. Trump couldn't talk about anything but that for two weeks afterward.

Is Trump as unhinged as Clinton? No. But that's like claiming a Category Two Hurricane is preferable to a Category Five.

Penn is severely intellectually compromised to even think about voting for Hillary. She IS crooked, she hides what she does and lies about it, and wants to steal money from people to secure her power. She IS the one who will get us into war with Russia.

Hillary would be MORE likely to get us into war by being stupid and backing us all into a corner internationally. Shoot down a russian plane in the no-fly zone, and it could get out of control quickly where she THEN has to retaliate when THEY shoot down one of ours, and on it goes.....

Plus, she and Putin hate each other and would never be able to just talk it out like Trump would undoubtedly do. Reagan and Gorvachev were friends, and that worked out pretty good. But the liberals think that because Putin and Trump get along, that is BAD. Stupid are the liberals.

I say he has to be severely intellectually compromised to even THINK about voting for Hillary under any circumstances.

It was a waste of time and money for a libertarian to run at this point in our culture. Even Rand said that the populace has to be on board with philosophy before it makes sense to try to get them on board with politics.

I have decided that the fact that someone would vote for Hillary in this election is enough for me to have nothing to do with them, since they are not my friends and are telling me they want to steal the results of my work.
Therefore, even though I was tempted to go see him perform in Vegas where I live, that will NEVER happen now. I thank him for showing me his true statist and crooked self.

A troll can't strike twice in the same place.
So call me the DINO DENOMINATOR!
Me dino wonders if me should wear a cape.

The boy disappoints me big time.

Thanks again, dino;^)

The trolling mouse coward strikes again. +1 by the title. He, she, it likes you, freedom. Just doctored another one of yours.

Neither Johnson nor Weld is likely to be on the LP presidential ticket in 2020, so their viewpoints and attributes as candidates will not be as important going forward. Meanwhile, Weld is helping attract support from anti-Trump Republicans who see the Johnson/Weld ticket as an acceptable alternative to staying home or voting for Hillary. Weld's presence on the ticket may help us reach the 5% vote threshold, and if it does, that milestone will help enormously with LP ballot status going forward.

Thank you, I agree. I ran Matt Welch’s numbers from his recent Reason blog post and came to the conclusion that Gary Johnson is actually hurting Hillary’s chances of victory.

Assume 130 million votes. Johnson previously had 10% support, or 13 million votes, or 4.25 million each from Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.

Now Johnson has 5% support, or 6.5 million votes. That’s 650,000 from Democrats, 1,625,000 from Republicans, and 4,225,000 from Independents.

The number of Independents supporting Gary has barely changed at all. With most Independents being moderates or “centrists”, it’s likely that more of Gary’s Independent voters would support Hillary if Gary were not in the race.

Johnson has presumably lost the support of 3.6 million Democrats and 2.6 million Republicans. If all of them revert to their party’s nominee, that’s a net swing of 1 million for Hillary. But that’s a result of voters abandoning Gary, not ones voting for him. Those people would have wound up voting for their party’s candidate with or without Johnson in the race.

The remaining Democrats and Republicans supporting Johnson are likely to be hard-core anti-Clinton Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans. If Johnson were not in the race, and a net 20% of his current R&D supporters voted for the other major party’s candidate, that would be another 200,000 net votes for Hillary. Vary the percentage up or down and Hillary’s vote count still suffers with Gary Johnson remaining in the race.

Conclusion: Gary Johnson’s presence in the race is hurting Hillary and helping Trump.

You are likely correct, and Penn has been listening to uninformed liberals.

From the article: "Johnson's net presence on a ballot compared to his net absence is almost certainly a boon to Hillary Clinton, due to his Republican supporters outnumbering his Democratic ones 2.5 to 1."

That remains to be seen. Trump does slightly better against Clinton in four-way polls than in two-way polls. Jill Stein’s numbers wouldn’t change much if Gary Johnson were not in the race. About 2/3 of Johnson’s support comes from independents, who tend overall to be “moderates,” and if Gary were not in the race it’s likely that more of their votes would go to Clinton than to Trump. About 1/10 of Gary’s support comes from Democrats, down from 1/3 previously, meaning that most Democrats that were supporting Johnson have already either returned to Hillary or defected to Trump.

This leaves the 25% of Gary Johnson’s support that is coming from Republicans. I think this is due to the fact that Trump has less popularity and support among Republicans than Clinton does among Democrats. In this context, Gary Johnson’s presence in the race might actually be helping Trump by diverting many Republican votes that would otherwise have gone to Clinton.

Bottom line: Johnson’s net presence on the ballot is not necessarily a boon to Hillary Clinton.

PG is a LINO like Weld. Wonder who Weld the Wicked will vote for.

Check your premises.
Penn's intelligence is subject to review.

This!! How can anyone as intelligent as Penn think that shooting at Russian planes is less likely to lead to nuclear war than anything Trump would do?

I don't see how anyone can think that Hillary is less likely to get us into war. She already has. With the encouragement of the attempt to topple Assad as well as her other acts in the middle east. She's advocating a no-fly zone where Russians are flying -- that will go well.

On the personal front there are many anecdotal stories of her raging temper.

Trump is blunt, but do we have any stories about him actually losing his temper?
