Rand Paul Endorses Gary Johnson for Senate.

True enough, but people that promote obviously fake polling numbers for longshot candidates only do their own favorite candidate a disservice in the long run as people end up being disappointed. I could reason with tweaking a poll so that the numbers come out a handful of pts 2-4% better in your favor to make it look like a real race, but not this horse$#@!.

Well, I don't consider it a disservice.

What is needed is more coverage given after the fact that the superior candidate could have been elected if even half of Republicans had balls. Because a voter with balls votes for the right candidate. Period.

That's why I hate pre-election polling in all forms. Who the hell cares that your vote was part of the majority if it got you a RINO? Yeah, you were on the winning side. And the "winning side" lost, too. Proud of yourself, loser?

That’s the wrong equation. Liberals voted for Johnson. He’s not a libertarian.

It's the right equation to show just how hopeless it is, and from what I remember Johnson is more known in the state for massive cuts. New Mexico is basically just Mexico at this point and they aren't going to vote for a Republican or a Libertarian.

We had this discussion back in 2016. I think I made a very good case why Gary Johnson should never be elected to office again. He is not a libertarian. Any politician can cut spending. It’s a matter of whether they will cut all spending or just the things they don’t like. The Mew Mexico budget was not smaller when Johnson left office, and the state is a mess. There was no sustainable change at all.
