Nah. Experience. And history. From Teddy Roosevelt to George Wallace to The Man With Funny Ears, all wasted votes. |

When my dad was a child, there was no drug problem. Not down here. If you didn't work, you starved. |

Well, there's that. To get all fancypants about complicated reasons for crime and drugs and whatnot is to nuance it unnecessarily, IMO. The cause is a two-headed hydra, growing from the stem that is drugs: One head is addiction and the other is the enabling entity, and it doesn't matter which party is ascendant. Drugs mean profit. Profit for everybody! Feds! States! Locals! And geopolitics are so enmeshed with drugs that you couldn't untangle it in a thousand years. But the thing is addiction. A crack addict will do anything for his next fix. No need to get ornate about the sociology. Mostly though, it's that people are no darn good. |

You got it backwards. A Donald Trump presidency will lead to a massive INCREASE in national debt: http://www.dallasnews.com/business/headlines/20160627-trump-or-clinton-one-budget-tax-proposal-would-add-10t-to-deficit.ece

You would have presumably told the Wright Brothers that flying machines don't work either. There was ample experience and history supporting that statement, after all. |

Actually, no. The reason we have flying machines is not necessarily the Wright Brothers. The reason we have flying machines, is that aluminum mining and smelting underwent an amazing transformation. During George washington's time, aluminum was more precious than gold. It wasn't until late in the 19th century that aluminum became plentiful and cheap. The Wright engine is the first time aluminum was used in an internal combustion engine. If they hadn't done it, someone else would have. So do a bit of research before coming to erroneous conclusions. |

Yes, flying machines were made possible by advances in technology, after centuries of failing attempts. Just as sometimes political changes are made possible by societal changes. I'm merely pointing out that your "experience and history" argument is not so convincing. |

A vote for Johnson is a vote away from Clinton. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/election-update-is-gary-johnson-taking-more-support-from-clinton-or-trump/ It appears Johnson voters would be more likely to vote for Clinton if he wasn't in the race. |

Ok, show me what societal changes in the U.S. are enough to precipitate a viable candidacy by a third party candidate. |

Well, look at France. They have a similar two party system, with a history of presidents from the socialist party or UMP. Yet at the next election, FN has a serious chance of winning the presidency. This is a development that had been going on for at least a decade. Something similar might happen in the US. Actually, with Trump the GOP has become quite FN-like, leaving ample room for a party that is more like the GOP of the 1980s. |

Like those fine Christian values Trump supports, do you? How about his Trump Steaks economic policy?
