3. Maybe it's because I was up too late watching the Oscars... but...

... how does a third party run by Johnson help Gabbard in NH? What am I missing?

4. I can't wait until we can coalesce around a candidate and repel

these threatened outside attacks.

7. Ok Libertarians, so we can do that too if you insist

maybe we will convince Bill Weld to run as a third party candidate instead of an R against trumpy, and split some of those repug votes away just like you are trying to do to us!

8. Tulsi 3rd party run could pull more from Trump than us, especially if we run Sanders.

I didn't think she would go third party because she had said she wouldn't... but that was before she went off the rails with all the Hillary stuff. And now I could see her using the excuse that, while she had never intended to, she changed her mind because the DNC stacked things against her with debate rules that managed to change to keep her out while also changing to let Bloomberg in, and the media excluding her from town halls... yeah, I could see her doing it.

I don't think it's necessarily bad for us. She has a lot of fox viewer appeal which steals votes from Trump, while not having a whole lot of Dem appeal. But on our side, she would probably steal more from a Biden than she would from a Sanders.

9. You make a good point, maybe she would hurt them more than us?
