Greens have always gotten .5% of the popular vote or less, except in 2000 when Nader got 2.5%. In 2012 Stein herself got just under .4%. There hasn't been any huge growth in Green Party since then. Thus any Green % above .4 is part of Bernie or Bust. I have a strong hunch the Green Party is going to set a record this Nov. Same for the Libertarians on the conservative side...a lot of them aren't too crazy about Trump.
