I don't think my candidate will win, because the Reds and the Blues keep most Americans too afraid to vote 3rd party. It's always the "my opponent is the devil" speech from both sides of the aisle that keeps them in power and prevents any real democratic progress from being made.

I have seen the polls reflect that a lot of SMs are pulling for Mr. Johnson...maybe one day, but I think you are probably right!

We never do. Not so long as the system is set up to prevent us from having equal represenatation

While Johnson winning in the House scenario is possible, I think it is highly unlikely. I would love to see this play out, but I am a realist. So to answer your question, no my candidate will not get 270, but that doesn't stop me from voting my conscience. Honestly, since I live in Alabama, all of our electoral votes are going to end up with Trump, so it matters not who I vote for. I think that the important thing is that those who support 3rd party candidates and don't like the two main candidates vote for their 3rd party choices. I think after all is said and done both main parties will analyze the data. If 3rd party candidates receive a respectable amount of votes, it might be able to influence their platforms to be more middle of the road. Maybe it's a pipe dream maybe it's not, but what does it hurt?
