45. johnson stealing dissatisfied republican voters from trump...and may give Hillary

Sun Jun 19, 2016, 07:18 AM

Jun 2016

a 400 (or more) electoral vote win for her....and a democratic congress.....this is like 1972 Nixon-McGovern in a weird kind of reversal....in 1972 the democrats selected a nominee that was completely over matched by the republicans...and the most bitter landslide was painful to watch....when Reagan won in 1984, there was no surprise of the landslide

the conservatives have selected trump as their version of McGovern

If they had Weld at the top of the ticket, they would do much better oberliner Jun 2016 #2

I highly doubt it, Weld is considered the ultimate RINO Reter Jun 2016 #22

That's exactly why he would do so well oberliner Jun 2016 #25

Moderates and the far-right hate Trump too Reter Jun 2016 #36

Weld was boo'd vehemently the other week at the Libertarian convention when he was nominated. politicaljunkie41910 Jun 2016 #38

Libertarians don't like him because they see him as a Republican oberliner Jun 2016 #39

The Libertarian johnson is currently growing in red states. NuclearDem Jun 2016 #4

Notice how he is only doing well in mostly hardcore republican territory Doctor Jack Jun 2016 #5

He's sucking up Trump voters up here in AK bravenak Jun 2016 #6

That will be a hell of a thing if the Libertarians take a state Doctor Jack Jun 2016 #8

I'm pretty sure he won't actually win a state. n/t PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #12

Just imagine how amazing it would be if this was the final map Doctor Jack Jun 2016 #10

Nice map, and would put Republicans in a panic. Agnosticsherbet Jun 2016 #13

Not likely but damn even one state turning libertarian would be a GOP disaster Doctor Jack Jun 2016 #15

In some of those states, Johnson could pull enough form the Republicans to turn them blue. Agnosticsherbet Jun 2016 #16

Huuuuuge!!! JoePhilly Jun 2016 #30

Not polling high enough to win but if this continues, he could throw red state into the blue column. Agnosticsherbet Jun 2016 #11

Likely a similar story to what we saw in 1992 Doctor Jack Jun 2016 #14

I was thinking the same thing about Utah n/t TexasBushwhacker Jun 2016 #23

I don't think they'd vote for Hillary. seabeckind Jun 2016 #27

Ok you caused me to think of the possibility of a President Trump and a VP Warren. PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #31

That's why I think the Rethugs will boot out Trumpf and turn this into a 4 way race. roamer65 Jun 2016 #43
