Why isn't msbc doing more to promote Gary Johnson if they want the dems to win?

[floppyboo]

Surely some indies would split away from Trump. They've been such a good propaganda machine. Why aren't they promoting a 3rd party Repub spoiler?

edit - Johnson, not Anderson - and then as soon as I wrote this, there's Lawrence osomething highlighting Johnson. Yay.

1. Who's Gary Anderson?

Are you thinking of Gary Johnson (Libertarian)?

[TexasTowelie]

2. The Libertarians have not had their convention yet to name a nominee.

It will probably be Gary Johnson though.

11. I was wishfully hoping it would be Jesse Ventura - Trump and Ventura in the ring!

That would have been pretty damn funny - Trump trying to outdo 'the Body', his old pal - and hopefully drive home the ludicrousy of Trump.

18. Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party

is fantastic. I voted for him in 2012 (I'm in a deep red state, so what the hell?)

If you haven't seen the Justice Party platform, it's worth a look.

4. Who says they want the Dems to win?

Morning Joe and Mika troll for Trump every day.

5. They don't

6. I know they've gone wingy right - but you don't think... oh, shoot me now!

7. MSNBC and Comcast don't have any party preferences.

They only care that the most corporate friendly person wins.

10. but didn't Clinton sew up all their favors?

She's gotta do it. She's gotta suck up to them big here and promote the repub 3rd party.

8. He's gonna be on "The Last Word" in a few mins...nt

[floppyboo]

9. I just watched it. A good 20 minutes or so. AND promoting as a good Repub. alternative!

Oh, I hope they keep it up. Give Johnson a mini scandal to peak some interest or something...

[TexasTowelie]

12. We could start one.

Anything said on DU is bound to go viral within hours.

Example: Gary Johnson once fornicated with his pet {fill in the blank}.

[floppyboo]

13. lol!

But he seems nice enough - maybe he donated to Lance Armstrong? or some kind of doping scandal - I hear he is quite the 'winner'

[floppyboo]

14. Or a thing, like the winner vs the whiner

[Reter]

15. Who says he would only takes votes away from Trump?

He's anti-war and pro-drug legalization, so he'd take votes away from Clinton too, no?

[floppyboo]

16. Hmm, that's problem. But

numbers show too many want universal health care and mat leave - oops, that's a problem too - except Clinton supporters going for a libertarian? There's still room to be creative here

[floppyboo]

17. He's not a Queen?

that doesn't work either. social liberties. think think

19. On college affordability,

he thinks the real problem is public colleges and public support for education. He's very adamant about it.
