Gary Johnson Is Running His Own Campaign Into The Ground

[@futuresequence.]

Gary Johnson has helped millions learn what Allepo is by not knowing what it is.

[@godofthunder9010]

With the lead up offered by the MSNBC anchor, I think it was clear that he was setting up Johnson to look bad. If it were an interview with Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, there would have been a lead up something like, "Aleppo Syria is currently the ground zero for civilian deaths in Syria's ongoing civil war. What would you do about the crisis in Aleppo?"

[@cashbonanza963]

recently he was aked about the north korean leader kim jong un and he didn't know who he was either hhhh

[@vivotopsis]

Johnson was drawing a blank on Aleppo. This is the worst thing they have against him? He knows about Syria. The other candidates are saying ridiculous things and Gary is not answering specific questions like who is your favorite current world leader. What if he doesn't believe in world leaders. Where is RON PAUL? Ron Paul would be slaying this year and should have the year he was attacked by the party he was running for. I wish Gary was a true Libertarian, but he is far better than the other two.

[@KingAdrock420]

The best part is that the _New York Times_ ran an article mocking how "stupid" Johnson is for not knowing what Aleppo is, only to themselves incorrectly identify Aleppo. *TWICE*.

[@rustyshackleford4883]

Rita Brubaker Yeah it's ok for people to be ignorant if they're just applying for Walmart

[@icgantshat]

"because if the president doesn't know about Syria, there's no way he's sending you there."

[@andrewc4112]

1. He's still light-years better than Trump or Clinton. 2. Appoint a good Secretary of State.

[@matthewsarson6934]

Being better than those two basically makes you cancer, not much of an achievement sadly.

[@adc8655]

and Jill Stein is right here and shes more sane, intelligent and uncorrupted than all of them

[@TheEternalBeastPodcast]

AGREE!

[@JD2jr.]

Which was the point he was making with the tongue thing, but Steven just completely ignored it.

[@vejymonsta3006]

"throwing your vote away" is the most asinine term. It underlines the biggest issue with elections in this country. Everyone is so concerned with making sure their vote isn't "wasted" that they end up voting for someone which does not represent their ideas at all, thus throwing their vote away!

[@thejimmydanly]

asking a libertarian which world leaders they admire is like asking a vegan how they like their steaks

[@MrNadDino]

Libertarians aren't anarchists. They believe governments duty is to protect the natural born rights of all its citizens. They agree government is good and is needed.

[@thejimmydanly]

False. First, there are many of us libertarians which believe in anarchocapitalism. Second, your point is still invalid. A protector of rights is an arbitrator, not a leader.

[@MrNadDino]

Jimmy Danly You mean their are many anarchocapitalists who hold many libertarian values. No, like I said libertarians believe in the constitution and small government.

[@thejimmydanly]

Again, false. Libertarianism is the belief that initiation of aggression upon person or property is wrong, not a blind love for the constitution. I am a libertarian, and the constitution is a stain on the ideas of libertarian values. Even true minarchists should be ashamed of it. The articles of confederation with an explicitly Incorporated bill of rights and a stated declaration of purpose being private property arbitration would possibly be a government I would be content with. I'll admit that strict constructionism (along with, of course, the addition of the incorporation doctrine) would be a nice place to start, but it still does not go far enough.

[@augustodaro2208]

Yeah, in the Libertarian convention, most of the other candidates seemed to hate Johnson for stuff like wanting to keep driver licences and stuff. There were plenty of anarcho-capitalists. Naddino, I would argue that your view of libertarians is very US-centric

[@chloe-pl8fj]

Is he high during the interview? The toungue definitely scared her.

[@MagentaSpikesImprov]

He was trying to be "funny" but yeah, she looked ready to scream n run.

[@NYGAllDay]

I think he was trying to express that he could say nothing or speak like that with his tongue the whole debate and still do ok cause he would be getting exposure.

[@Bouchon211]

They mentioned that he locked himself in a freezer to prove he could withstand cold. That statement by itself makes him sound extremely crazy. If you're a fair person unlike Colbert you would mention that Gary Johnson has climbed Mount Everest twice and has had frostbite multiple times. How else are you supposed to train for climbing Mount fucking Everest? Also he broke his arm halfway up the second time and still made it. He's a total badass.

[@klimaxxx06]

They just want weed.

[@crunchychips8123]

It was the same story with Ron Paul and his dickhead son during the last several presidential elections. They either have no idea what these guys stand for or have a 'fuck it, burn it all down' mentality. I'm surprised Johnson is doing as well as he is, considering Trump is splitting the 'burn it down'/protest vote.

[@DuranmanX]

that must be how young conservatives feel about Trump

[@ibrahimalmc1824]

i guess actually they are rushing to ideology not to individual who represents the idea.

This is exactly why Gary Johnson is the best candidate in my lifetime.

I would rather have a president who admits when he doesn't know something than a candidate like Trump or Clinton who bluffs their way through the question.

[@TarlanT]

Joshua Moyer it's not that he did NOT REMEMBER something. But problem is that he did NOT KNOW it. And that's most probably because he did NOT CARE about it.

[@joshuamoyer4141]

TarlanT ummmmm........wtf are you talking about? Who said he didn't remember something?

[@TarlanT]

Joshua Moyer ok. So I misread your first comment. But cite question remains. Why would a presidential candidate wouldn't know currently most significant world event, that is already affecting us as well ? Why would he stick out a tongue during an interview? Is stupidity and crackpot behavior is a virtue ? Even for an ordinary person ?

[@fabsmaster5309]

And somehow he still seems more sane than Trump, and more respectable than Clinton. We are in trouble

[@JohnSmith-ki4wv]

@Baron Von Grijffenbourg hey, I'm from even further into the future and you're absolutely wrong

[@walterdennisclark]

Colbert's monolog was prepared by many bright writers over many hours. He has the entire floor. No one Ever asks him anything. See how bright Colbert sounds by himself being grilled by someone who hates his stand defending how government should control people's lives.

[@walterdennisclark]

Monologue is the main point. Johnson does alright in a monologue too. The trick in doing a monologue is never mention what you don't know. Hmmm. That's pretty easy.

[@dakotajohnson5009]

I believe what you are looking for is called "Stand up"

[@walterdennisclark]

Gosh Adam, Sounds like you are ready to vote for Trump or Clinton. Proud of that are you?

[@jazzysaravana]

I love his show but in this segment I can see the fearful control of not even mentioning Jill Stein on mainstream TV being deliberate, when a recent poll shows more than 90% of Bernie supporters are backing Jill Stein!

[@mp80085]

She def has a low number in CNN polls that don't poll 18-34 yr olds. I think Hillary is neck in neck with Trump partly because the millenials she keeps trying to connect with all week have sided with Stein or Johnson.

[@jazzysaravana]

You only reiterate my point. It means that from the day one of election campaign the mainstream media only cared for Republican and Democratic party candidates. If Jill Stein or Gary Johnson was given equal amount of air time as Trump or Hillary, the poll numbers would be significantly different!

[@nervetonic1]

"...a recent poll shows more than 90% of Bernie supporters are backing Jill Stein..." Prove it.

[@merphul]

you gotta build from the ground up. When the libertarian or green parties start clocking a significant percentage of voter registrations and get enough members into congress to act as an independent block of influence, they'll start getting more coverage resources devoted to them. Unfortunately you don't get equal air time just for showing up, the candidate and their party have to play the political game on a comparable level if they want to be covered like the DNC or GOP it's like someone walking into a Casino with $1000 and demanding to be treated like a high roller. sure your money isn't inconsequential, but you're just not playing with enough capital (ie votes/elected officials) to command equal treatment.

[@coconutflour9868]

Citation, please? The latest poll I found, 40% of Bernie supporters were for Hillary, 15% for Trump and Johnson each, 10% for Jill and the rest undecided/sitting it out.

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Still the best option in 2016. CBS is just in panic because Hillary loses traction. #LetGaryDebate

[@luckywaddles]

..How is he the best option?

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Kris Tofer Fiscally conservative, socially inclusive. Wants to balance the federal budget, is the only candidate who has been there and done that as Governor of New Mexico, best VP pick, wants to end the war on terror and drugs, in favor of term limits, marihuana legalization, gay marriage, choice... Just google his and Bill Weld's resumee.

[@sjp2649]

fiscally conservative is a bit of an understatement. Johnson wants to eliminate the income, capital gains, payroll, and estate taxes completely and replace them all with a flat 23% national sales tax

[@lcrawpuppyable]

Lorenz Müller almost all of that is domestic. He's shown though that he doesn't know dick about global problems or threats. I can't speak of him as a person (I'm guessing in that regard he's far better than the other two) but as far as qualifications as a president, he seems lacking.

[@lorenzmuller3542]

[@barrynichols2846]

why doesn't he do something like this about Jill Stein, or are her policies too real.

[@GooieGreen]

Because she is barely relevant? :)

[@bolo2123]

Barry Nichols she's at 2% and she was given an arrest warrant. Want to talk about that?

[@hounoki]

Bernie Sanders was at less than 3% last year. An arrest warrant was issued for her because she joined protesters against the Dakota Access Pipeline. That's something to be proud of, not mocked. Even if you don't respect her as a presidential candidate, you can still respect her as an activist who protested the closed debates, with BLM, and more. When people get attacked by dogs and issued arrest warrants for standing together to protect native people's environment and sacred burial sites against oil companies, but other people get off scot-free for war crimes and illegal acts like Clinton with Honduras or her email scandal, something is wrong.

[@bolo2123]

***** It's obviously something to stand up for, but she received an arrest warrant which doesn't look good to the public eye. He may have been at 3% last year but there's exactly a month left until the election of our next president. And she's still polling pretty low...

[@cyncynn1357]

Because they cant risk it. If they talk about Jill. People will flock to her!

[@StephanieL180]

The Libertarian Party is cringeworthy. No real solutions to the serious problems we face today - it's just a clown show.

[@Lidorzaruk]

This is the only party promoting true capitalism and classic liberalism, other parties are all on the spectrum of Keynesian/crony-capitalism and sadly even socialism. They say 99% and don't even understand that this is exactly what caused it to happen and will keep it going. Before you go and ask for free medicare, free education and bigger wale fare payments, you need to create enough money. A crony-capitalist is mistaken thinking that baling out big banks and big companies with tax payer's money will help, a socialist truly don't even have a clue how to create money but only how to spend it (even when the country don't have enough because "it's a right"). All the Scandinavian countries and others were and still are much more capitalists before they added the "free stuff" and became the common socialist's first example. A libertarian today is the only person standing for your right to live in a free country in a free market, without having your taxes spent on bullshit and create your ability individually to have good walfare, medicare and education. Even if you then back-track into forcing every one to sponsor it by taxes to those who can't effort it themselves (instead of donating voluntarily via private companies), you will at least have the base to pay for it. They learned it in Europe, it's time for the US to not deteriorate to socialism but to grow into being a truly capitalistic country (not a "crony" one like today). You actually broke away from Britain 250 years ago for the purpose of getting a freer market, now on the the Fraser institute freedom report of 2016 the US is on 17th place while Britain is 10th. Now... THAT'S cringeworthy.

[@AngryKittens]

Lidorzaruk, except the US "libertarians" today seem more concerned about dropping taxes for big companies as well as abolishing environmental and worker regulations (which incidentally, can also be accomplished if they ensure that most federal laws don't apply at state level). Doesn't sound like fighting for my rights to me. Sounds more like a more heavily bought version of the Republicans. I'm not exactly thirsting for the freedom to strip mine a national park, the freedom to let my bosses buy another yacht, or the freedom to have toxic waste dumped on our rivers again. And I'm not even mentioning the conspiracy theorists and the edgy new alt right who also flock to their banners, because less government means less lizards from outer space who teach evolution in public schools, and less regulations means less laws to break when they beat up a minority.

[@wininspn]

His ideas are great if you want to be taxed the exact same % as someone making 5 million a year. Flat taxes are great!

Vote Gary Johnson so you can pay the same tax rate as the richest people in the nation.

It's pretty hard to "disagree" with a 7 minute clip showing mostly clips of Johnson. I mean, it sounds like you got a case of butt hurt where you saw a post about why he's a chill dude on Redit, and now that you actually see him, it's hard to swallow what you're seeing.

People ask why he wont make fun of Hillary. Here's your answer: She isnt on social media saying stupid things. When she's interviewed she typically sounds like she knows what she's talking about and usually states facts. He would probably get only one good segment out of her. With Trump, he lies continuously, even at presidential debates. He says countless stupid things. He regularly makes himself look like a huge joke. He hates everyone. He is om social media saying crap. Its so easy to make fun of him. He is really unintelligent and doesnt mind all of us seeing that. So obviously when you have a comedy show you go for the one who is the easiest to make fun of.

[@LividImp]

+Abyssionknight Don't kid yourself, Stein is an anti-vax, anti-GMO lunatic. She's every bit as crazy as Trump and Johnson, the only difference is that she's on the far left.

[@TheTorridestCheese]

Jill Stein is just as crazy. She honestly believes wi-fi causes cancer.

[@Abyssionknight]

Livid Imp She's not anti-Vaccine. The statement in question is one where she said she's opposed to drug companies having influence on the FDA when it comes to regulation and testing of the drugs. She wants a third party that doesn't take drug company money, and is therefore impartial, to do the tests, and stated she was willing to reduce the rate of vaccination if necessary to achieve that result. As for GMO's I'd mostly agree with you that they're safe and her position there is wrong. I can understand skepticism of GMOs, especially GMO's meant to be pesticide resistant, Monsanto is the largest seed company in the world, owns 86% of all GMO seeds sown, and also is conveniently the parent company of Roundup, who just so happens to be a pesticide producer. I'd also agree with skeptics that while there are no immediately known health concerns for human consumption, we don't know the long term impact of these crops on the environment, which is a valid concern. Though I don't entire agree with her on GMOs, she's still a better candidate. I personally view climate change as the most important issue humanity as a whole currently faces, and her view on that is certainly superior to Trump, who proposes changes to make it worse, and Clinton, while having a decent plan, doesn't really seem that interested in the issue, since she hasn't seriously talked about it since her election pivot (which combined with her corporate interests, leaves a reasonable question on how genuine those proposals were). So if I have to choose between a candidate who is taking the most important issue we face seriously, or a candidate that might be taking is seriously, why would I risk our future on a maybe? Just this month we actually have reached the unfortunate milestone of 400ppm for Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for at least the remainder of our lifetimes, if not permanently according to scientists. The 'safe' level of CO2 in the atmosphere is at most, 350ppm. The higher we get above that, the higher temperatures will climb, the higher sea levels will rise, ocean acidification will get worse, and so will violent storms like hurricanes and tornadoes.

[@sebastianvalentino1917]

She's not anti Vax, she's just a skeptic, like most scientists

[@PanicLedisko]

This was really mean. He's just a regular guy, not a career politician, and he obviously has the same knowledge and ideals that an average person would have, *especially* considering that the libertarian viewpoint about the Syrian refugee crisis would be "well, it's not our problem, so I won't keep up with it". He was obviously anxious in several of those situations, and that only makes Johnson all the more real. Why should we be concerned with the affairs of other nations unless they present a real threat to our continued way of life? Yes, we do need to keep an eye on them to make sure they aren't going to launch a war or destroy the global economy, but the Syrian refugee crisis is not Johnson's problem, and it's not our problem. Leave the guy alone. This whole skit was hurtful and although I'm a fan of Colbert, I was really disappointed by this episode's personal attacks, considering his normally witty style of intellectual humor.

Not knowing anything about the world outside the US might be okay if you want to become the mayor of Springfield. It is not okay if you want to become president. Thinking that what is happening in the Middle East is not of concern to the US is beyond ignorant. A regular guy doesn't have to know about the world, a president must know. And it's not "mean". If you want the people to vote for you, you have to earn it and you have to endure criticism. That is what democracy is about.

[@TheSgtkite]

[@tristanneal9552]

People are salty about this segment but Stephen wouldn't be able to talk about this crazy shit if Johnson hadn't done it. Getting mad at this bit is like saying it's the reporters' fault for covering Trump's sexist/racist statements and scandals, or that it's the investigators' fault for covering Hillary's scandals, instead of actually holding the candidates responsible for their actions. They wouldn't be taking a hit from Colbert if they hadn't actually done it; Johnson's no different.

[@RanjanDuttaRoy]

You're partly right, but most of these are not "scandals" to the slightest, just dorky moments and stuff taken out of context (like the once sat inside a freezer thing) for some cheap to mildly funny punchlines

[@tyaragao]

A funny video but towards the end Colbert says voting for Johnson would be like "throwing away your vote" I completely disagree with that. I think it's great that the 3rd parties are getting looked at more and more in this election because imo they make more sense in more aspects than the 2 major ones

[@binaryvoid0101]

In order for for a presidential candidate to "win" on Election Day you need most of the votes. Are you insinuating that Johnson will likely convince half of Hillary and Trump's supporters to change their minds and vote for Johnson?

[@valeoncat13]

He actually has a few questionable negatives on his back, that you could easily look up. If your liberal leaning: His stance on minimum wage is pretty ignorant. Saying anyone that shows up to work in clean clothes isn't working minimum wage. Saying minimum wage is not an issue. Which thousands of American citizens are proof of how wrong that is. He supports the TPP. And in his support, he's admitted he doesn't fully understand it, but supports it anyway. He supports fracking. He sees no problem with money being a big factor in politics. Although he recently changed his mind, he was once under the impression that vaccines were not something a society needed as mandatory to keep disease from spreading. And if your conservative leaning, he's basically against majority of their stances on human rights, drugs and immigration. Some general weird ones: He said he'd ban the burqa in the US, because it's oppressive to women. Which is hypocritical simply for the fact that your forcing someone to wearing/not wearing something without their consent. So it's a roundabout oppressive notion. He has a questionable debt issue. When he became governor of New Mexico, he inherited 1.4 billion in debt. When he left office, that number to 4.3billion.

What terrible decision exactly? Many people have made mistakes on the media, predominantly the two major party candidates (I'm sure there's no end to them ridiculing themselves). It's just entertainment media outlets like this guy who rather make fun of a man rather than observe their policies.

[@coryhill8523]

To comment on terrible decisions you're in the Army you have already made a terrible decision make the best of it. Now to Gary Johnson he advocated for treating Ebola patients with pot. At the height of the Abola outbreak when doctors and nurses were dying trying to help those people he was going on about pot. I'm sure there are legitimate uses for marijuana but treating terminally ill patients with hemorrhagic fever isn't one of them. It's pseudoscience like that that disqualifies him from being taken seriously.

[@tomatosaucepvp]

And according to whom exactly was my decision of joining the military a terrible decision? I willingly and wholeheartedly joined the military and have yet to regret it. I wasn't aware we had a "Good or bad decision" Police in the world? Other political candidates have said much more outrageous and out-of-their mind comments.

nevertheless, Gary Johnson is the only SANE candidate. Doesn't want to bomb out half of the world, doesn't insult women or wanted to kill families of terrorists and he thinks before he speaks.... He's for small govt, fiscally conservative (unlike Jill Stein), socially liberal. Do you know someone better?

His numbers would rise significantly if he purely just had name recognition. he's only known by 30% of the electorate and gets around 10%. If the rest of the country heard about him he would at least be at 30%

[@thetrustysidekick3013]

[@akinmytua4680]

He was making a point, but I guess people have never done that with their tongues before?

[@merphul]

that was my interpretation of what he was trying to say too... but it might have helped his argument if he prefaced it with "even if I talk like this" and then stopped it after a sentence or two. As is you can see the interviewer pull back as it got real weird, real fast. but I'm also going to agree with Asmodeus. Given how many people googled "moving to Canada" going into the primary elections, it's doubtful that a ton more people didn't take a closer look at the third party candidates this year compared to other presidential elections. Unfortunately, full strength libertarianism is hard to stomach for most people that aren't full hearted libertarians.

[@DaliborOkoro]

I'm not American, but I dont understand how Americans can support any of the candidates. Trump is an idiot, Clinton is corrupt and Johnson has his moments - but he honestly seems like the least stupid but for America - and the rest of the world.

[@MagentaSpikesImprov]

Sure if you simplify everything down to one adjective. But it's obviously more complicated. Trump's campaign was literally in the Entertainment section of newspapers while the other candidates were in the Politics section. There are a shitload of us who have just had to accept that he is, inexplicably, the Republican nominee. People are much more than just a simple adjective as we have seen throughout this election. There are many, many continuous rumors and lies that people spread and believe. Trump is much more dangerous than just plain stupid and egotistical and aggressive and racist and sexist and all the 100 ways you can describe him, truthfully. He has proven to get to people somehow through manipulating their current vulnerabilities and psychological weaknesses. This has been studied by at least hundreds of psychologists, educators and other professionals who study human behavior. There are pure psychological reasons all of these people have fallen prey to such an inappropriate rhetoric. They are making decisions based on emotions, like frustration and anger, which Trump stirs up on purpose, and he is promising things that will never happen or cannot happen the way he says they will. Based on every single thing uttered from both candidates since the beginning of their campaigns, Trump has lied about 50% of the time, compared to Clinton's approximate 10%. People must learn to do proper research and check every fact by using solid sources such as Politifact, which gave us those determinations of honesty. There are so many lies swirling around Clinton that they just escalate and escalate into ridiculous stories. She is not a saint. But she has not shown a fraction of the amount of deceit and illegal business such as Trump has during his working life. There is no doubt of the descriminations existing in Trump's mentality and his actions, including the immigrants who were fucked over, who built the Trump Tower. He has a tendency to try to cheat people out of money and dignity because he thinks he can, and he has said that in more ways than 10. I cannot in good conscience vote for someone who treats humans so badly, who has consistently committed and paid his way out of so many lawsuits, who thinks he can get away with fooling all these people by telling them whatever he feels like telling them to persuade them. So Trump wants to build a ridiculous wall. It will cost more than $25 billion!, over twice the highest estimation that he touts to the public. Trump screams about how Latino immigrants are horrible for this economy.. when in reality, Latinos make up about 17% of our population, and they pump in about $2.3 TRILLION into the economy every year. They represent 15% of the U.S. workforce. They provide vital growth in our economy. It is dangerous to not support them in entrepreneurial ways, as it will be a huge missed opportunity. Including in real estate, banking, homeownership, cars, etc.... this only scratches the surface, and it is a flat out complete lie that Drumpf is peddling as a major point in his platform.... There are so so so many incongruencies in this election, and we can all thank Trump for misleading and demeaning millions of people, while maintaining how horrible things are right now when they are not as bad as he promotes. And sure, Clinton isnt perfect, as she acts more wounded than optimistic for the Democratic population.. Most people are doing ok in this society, and most minority groups such as blacks, profession women, LGBT workers, are doing better than 50 years ago. Trump and Clinton have both stressed the obstacles we all face rather than opportunities, which is a mistake. Trump's pessimism works as a strategy, as demagogues do. Clinton has failed to show what this country is truly made of, and opened herself to the wrong audience... She represents the universal struggles, rather than any of the growing diversity and the entrepreneurial efforts of the people... therefore not really prevailing in terms of creating opportunities in the minds of those who need them.

[@velox121]

How can anybody honestly think Clinton would be better than Stein or Johnson? Have you done any research? I know the media won't report on it unless it's Fox News (and I don't even like them)- but Hillary is atrocious when it comes to foreign policy. She armed and funded ISIS in Syria to overthrow Assad, that was a disaster. She's provoking a world war with Russia by instituting a no-fly zone over Syria. Now every time she gets hacked and it reveals some dirt on her she tries to distract from the dirt by blaming it on Russia to turn the people against them. She tried to take over Libya which resulted in ISIS gaining control, she sold tons of weapons to the Saudi Regime, and she wants to overthrow Assad (not because he's a bad person btw- because she wants control of the oil!). She took millions of special interest donations to her Clinton foundation, including from Saudi Arabia. The DNC manipulated the primary campaign in her favor, including telling media outlets what not to print. She takes all manner of special interest money from corporations and the fossil fuel industry, and makes speeches for hundreds of thousands of dollars to bankers like Goldman Sachs. She is a corporate bought lying imperialist war hawk! How can anyone who has done any research think she is not that bad?!

Hillary is starting to seem WAY more appealing. I wish people could get their heads out of their asses.

[@greenvaepor]

Appealing to the illiterates of the world. Anyone who bothered to read the DNC hacks or wade through her published emails though, will have an awfully had time convincing themselves shes worth risking a nuke war with Russia (if u havent noticed...the dummies on capitol hill are poking that bear a LOT).

[@unholydiver1095]

greenvaepor Trump would nuke his own country with his moronic self.

[@tomstoughton]

hildabeast will continue this path of destruction that your savior Obama started and it ruining our country.. please do some research. read stuff. please. don't just willy nilly vote for hildabeast cause it makes you feel like you did something better for humanity because you voted for a woman. i agree we should have a woman president in america one day. but NOT hillary clinton. if you did 5 minutes of unbiased research on her you would wonder how she isnt in jail for the crimes she has committed over the years.

@Tom Stoughton, The fact that you are calling Hillary "hildabeast" makes me think that you are nothing but a juvenile twit. The same sort of twit who thinks they are frightfully original when they call President Obama silly names like, "Obummer" or "Obozo".And exactly what has Hillary done that merits time in prison?

[@tomstoughton]

well, honestly, he would have to be the best president in years because he is the only president we have had in 8 years you people are ridiculous.

The establishment fears the rise of third parties.
