Representatives of the presidential campaigns for Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee, and Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party nominee, submitted their petitions and filing fees to the Kentucky secretary of state Tuesday.
Throughout the course of the election, Romney has voiced extreme dissatisfaction with both Clinton and Trump, even suggesting he may cast his ballot for the Libertarian ticket on Election Day.
The video, “Good Points”, plays two clips – one of Trump back in 2000 commenting how the two parties don’t want anyone else “trying to knock off the Democrats and Republicans”, which is why they create the 15% threshold. “So I’ll get to know Gary Johnson better and see if he’s someone who I could end up voting for”.
To be included in the first debate, Johnson needs to average 15 percent or higher in national polls leading up to the first forum on September 26 at Hofstra University in NY. For that percentage to go up, Johnson needs to be a constant face on television and he needs to spend all of the money he has in his small bank account.
A pro-Johnson super PAC aired over $550,000 in television advertisements last month, but is now not on the air. This combined with Johnson’s near-unprecedented polling numbers will make for a tough decision for the CPD in the coming weeks. By comparison, Clinton has $5.2 million in broadcast TV orders placed this week, while Trump has $2.4 million reserved.
