Remember that Johnson and Weld both actually have governmental experience on
state and federal levels. Also they are on the ticket in all fifty states.

And it's also interesting that the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, is
higher in the polls than Jill Stein which, I suppose, makes the same point.

That's how we might see it, but most of middle America, for lack of a better
term, still sees NPR as left-leaning, even though it has moved so far right,
so , that large swath of voters views NPR and anything they have to say,
with suspicion. If you're asking what is my point, I don't have one. This is
nothing but an observation. Every time I hear someone say this, that NPR is
so leftist, I am amazed and incredulous, but that's how far right the
populace has moved.

They're the voice of the liberal establishment or the liberal

Assad, the government position in every situation regardless of the

Yes, they talked about the Greens back then, too.but was NPR
considered mass
media back then? Are they considered mass media now? By us, yes. By
Trump
supporters and middle America, not so much...

CNN just had a round table with Libertarians and will be holding one
with
Jill Stein too.

NPR is actually talking about Jill Stein and the Green
party. This
certainly didn't happen in 2012 and in 2008, no one knew
there was a
Green Party.
Perhaps this is what Bernie accomplished. His campaign put
the Green
Party on the map.
