In every poll I've seen, Jill Stein is irrelevant.

[cali]

Johnson is a different story but I don't see him getting a lot of liberal votes.

I have seen nothing that shows that Stein has the ability to garner a significant share of Sanders voters. And having a running mate trashing Bernie won't help her gain their support.

1. let's keep her that way. nt

2. Progressives are beginning to see her TRUE FASCIST LEANINGS! eom

[MineralMan]

3. Jill Stein is irrelevant on every account.

4. Jill Stein is every bit as opportunistic as Trump.. As a physician, her kowtowing to anti-vac crowd

is about as despicable as I can imagine.

I do have some concerns re: Gary Johnson pulling a few less discerning lib/progressives--those who might be bamboozled by his attacks on Trump and think he represents the "liberal" side of libertarianism.

6. FWIW, McClatchy: Clinton 45/Trump 31/Johnson 10/Stein 6

"In a four way race, Clinton retains her lead. She gets 45 percent to Trump’s 31 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson has 10 percent and the Green Party’s Jill Stein has 6 percent."

5. Agreed. A dead gorilla is out-polling her. VP Baraka choice? Very bad idea for garnering support

for disaffected Sanders voters, as Baraka despises Bernie and Bernie supporters. Yet more Poor judgement on Stein's part.

Irrelevant in this election.

7. I agree on both counts. I don't see Jill Stein or Gary Johnson winning any states. Of course GOTV

is critical, and the Democratic party must be campaigning as though they are behind

The election is still a long way off, and a lot of things can happen

8. I've had a few Bernie die hard friends flirt with voting for her.

ALL of them rejected her after actually looking in to her and her running mate. She will not be a significant factor.

Johnson COULD be.

[cali]

11. I think Johnson could very well (most probably) make it into the debates

but don't you believe he'd take more votes from trump than Hillary?

[Adrahil]

12. Yes, I generally agree with that. NT

[bettyellen]

16. I do think he would help Trump in the debates a great deal though.

[cali]

17. Why? I tend to think the very opposite would be true.

[bettyellen]

18. Because it will be two people making bullshit sound normal and okay

And who will reinforce each other's attacks on Hillary. I think in a one on one Trump will sound like an idiot, because he will have no one to ape.
I don't think Johnson will bother going against Trump but will go for Hillary - just to get more press.

9. Thanks Cali

I can't stand the Greens.

[MadBadger]

10. I think the libertarian message speaks to some disaffected young Bernie voters

I also think those kinds of people haven't looked too deeply at what Gary Johnson actually stands for. All of it.

13. relevant to republicans. they'll support her to try to gain even a couple percent of clinton votes.

by support I mean run media stories, random donations so she can 'keep on trucking', and make sure stories about her are posted on aggregate news sites and add comments.

If they can grow that 6% to even 8 or 9, that's less for Clinton.

These are the same radical RW who 'backed' bundy and are extremely anti-federal government. People seem to have forgotten the Federal Government is the peoples Gov. Without the FDA we have no protections at all. Without Federal DOI, our PUBLIC lands will be gone forever to state interests.

14. On the third-party front, this is good news for us.

On the left, there are the Bernie-or-Busters, and on the right, there are the Never-Trumpers.

The Bernie-or-Busters could vote for Jill Stein, or for Gary Johnson, depending on the individual.

But the Never-Trumpers are far more likely to vote for Gary Johnson - I don't see many right-wing third-party-voters voting for Jill Stein.

So the poll numbers indicate that there are FAR more Never-Trumpers than Bernie-or-Busters. Hell, Bernie himself was never a Bernie-or-Buster.

Like I said, that's good news for us.

15. I don't get the obsession with someone who isn't relevant in any state.

[bettyellen]

19. It's because there are JPRs here pushing this be kind to Stein meme...

Which is ridiculous. Most of this is a reaction to them. But she is running sine shittt up ads too.
