As demonstrated when Cindy Axne (IA-3) was re-elected. The LBN + GOP vote would have beat her.

That is often where disaffected republicans turn.

(26,044 posts)2. Frankly, I think it is illegitimate to cite Jill Stein...
...without noting that Gary Johnson took a much larger share of the vote in key states than she did. And he was the "refuge" for Republicans who didn't want to have to vote for Trump, but would never consider voting for a Democrat.
I have very little doubt that, if all third-party candidates been removed from the ballot, the overall result would have been much the same. And I think that this week's results may back that up, as, once again, Trump was running several points better than the polls would indicate. There just seems to be a bit more pro-Trump sentiment than we counted on either election.

The people most furious about Stein did indeed ignore Gary what is Aleppo Johnson.
