Best Posts in Thread: Hillary Clinton V Donald Trump. (Or... is it?) - Not thrilled? We have a solution. The Libertarians.

If there's any year in which we could see a 3rd party rise and challenge the 2-party system? This will be it.

Hillary and Donald have the highest 'Unfavourables' of any major general election candidates in over 30 years. (The number of people who have a favourable view, minus the number of people that have an unfavourable view)

Hillary Clinton -- MINUS 14% (Unfavourable 54.5% V 40.6% Favourable)

Donald Trump -- MINUS 32% (Unfavourable 63.0% V 31.1% Favourable)

All it would take is 15% in the GE polls, for the Libertarian to be on the same stage as the Democratic and Republican nominees. It's possible, though admittedly unlikely at this point.

Am I suggesting that a Libertarian candidate will win the GE? Or likely win? No. They're a long-shot at best. But this could be the year we see them break the mold and challenge the Democratic/Republican way of politics, that has become the norm in the U.S. For democracy's sake, I sure hope so.

With that, please watch the above debate. It's unlike any that you have seen this far from the Democratic or Republican side. They whizz through loads off issues in about 30minutes. None of this 3hr garbage.

Let's make political discourse great again!

 

Unfortunately a third party candidate will never win in America. Republicans and Democrats both have a lust for power and the system is rigged in their favor.
