So don't vote for him. You seem happy with your choices, so vote for the second coming of Mussolini, or Nixon in a pantsuit.
Forgive me for wanting a smart, sensible, serious, articulate conservative in the White House.
But thanks for bumping the thread.
I'm not, but the time for putting those candidates on the ballot has passed. So, for now, my vote probably goes to Johnson, whom I at least know how he has acted in office—and despite my disagreements, probably won't send our country down into a death spiral the way Clinton and Trump will.
I get it; I understand that we'd love to have someone better, but I want to be sure that the white knight coming over the horizon isn't simply leading an invading army against us in a false-flag attack. McMullin has no history to vet. In fact, he doesn't even really want to win; he just wants to further divide the GOP. He speaks in vague platitudes, and even those didn't exist until a few days ago—which only proves he's more disciplined than Trump, not a tall order. Couple that with his CIA ties and all of this just seems WAY too suspicious to me. As far as we know, he could be a Clinton stooge, and if I want to take chances, I'll put money on the lottery.
If we want to start building a third party, let's start work on it now for 2020 so that we're actually prepared. We know after the last three primary cycles that the GOP is going to put up another garbage candidate, so it's best we don't get fooled again and start working now to build name recognition, maybe start putting some names into local office. But hitching our wagon to the mystery man who shows up too late promising us what we want isn't going to get us anywhere, except on a list of future suckers for con-artists to exploit.
