The Wall Street bailout in 2008 cost $16 trillion and was approved with “no questions asked” by Congress, she said. Johnson has been approved to be on the ballot for all 50 states.

Californian’s don’t love Hillary Clinton, and many of them don’t like her, but come November, they say they’ll be supporting her over Donald Trump. Dr. Stein and Mr. Johnson both ran in 2012 against President Barrack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney, and each received less than 1 percent of the popular vote.
Overall, the Siena poll shows Clinton has a significant lead, especially among the African and Latino communities, where she has over 80 percent in favor of her. Clinton also has a lead amongst Protestants in NY, with 57 percent to 30 percent in favor for Clinton to Trump.
“Because we have not been covered. I think Hillary has an advantage there as well”, said Lenihan. “We have been up as high as 7 percent”. Despite both of their polling upticks, neither could reach the percentage needed to enter the upcoming first debate on September 26.
Has there ever been an election where third party candidates have as good a chance as any to make an impact?
They say they’re making a statement in voting for third party candidates, one that stands up to the bullies and the elitists. “There are differences between the parties, but they are not different enough to save your life, to save your job or to save the planet”.
Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee, holds a narrow appeal among some on the left, which is further limited by her often-radical positions.
The former NY senator and secretary of State, echoing an earlier statement, called the events a “sobering reminder that we need steady leadership in a risky world”. The lesser of two evils method is dividing our country so drastically over parties that we have a hard time believing in.
In the Real Clear Politics average of recent polls, Mr. Johnson has almost 9% backing, up from about 5% in June. He has 49 percent of their votes to her 41 percent. Jill Stein attended a rally at Wilkes University. She kicked off the week by attacking GOP rival Donald Trump and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in an interview and during a campaign appearance.
Some Democrats may fear that even if endorsing legalization would win Clinton votes from the younger crowd, baby boomers or those in the so-called “greatest generation” would be turned off, possibly sending their support to Trump.
“When you vote for the lesser evil, you’re allowing yourself to be silenced”, Stein said to more than 200 in attendance at the Norton campus. According to Pew Research, since 2011, the most conservative Democrat on Capitol Hill has still been more liberal than the most liberal Republican, based on their aggregate voting records. Mr. Johnson was in second with 29 percent, Mr. Trump was at 26 percent, and Dr. Stein had 15 percent. Given this, Johnson’s solution (according to my son) is to not object to gay marriage but not to focus the party on purist solutions (like eliminating government’s role in marrying people), instead prioritizing other issues which might be resolvable through practical application of Libertarian principles.

For both third-party candidates, their bids border on quixotic.
