How Gary Johnson and Jill Stein can guarantee the defeat of Hillary Clinton

While the democrat-controlled Media Industrial Complex are venting what a disaster the Trump campaign supposedly is and Media Matters is digging to find the worst possible dirt on the Donald such as putting up a slew of white supremacists who praised his speech in Mexico (while conspicuously ignoring the Clinton’s history blatant racism), Hillary is getting bad news every week from the FBI releasing more on her. Even so much as Hillary herself admitting her increasingly obvious bad health. With this increasing pressure of bad news, she’s starting to bleed voters even despite the bias in polls toward over sampling Democrats.

It’s very possible that Gary Johnson and Jill Stein can help facilitate the defeat of Hillary Clinton if/when things get so bad to the point Democrats start jumping ship. Johnson has ballot access to just about all 50 states and Jill has over 40 by this point which is well and enough to make difference in hurting Donald or Hillary. The old theory goes that the Libertarian Party will the Republican nominee doesn’t really fit anymore. Johnson is attracting equal number of discontented Republicans and Democrats, in fact there’s more Democrats attracted to Johnson than Republicans due to the mounting corruption of Hillary.

Now granted that increasing steam third parties get in polls typically gain throughout the campaign typically loss it as we get closer to election day and voters are complacent with voting for lesser of two evils. However this time things could be different. The aforementioned corruption of the Clintons is the primary reason and the royal screwing the DNC gave Bernie during the primaries all but openly favoring Hillary. These Berners I think are key to this as many will refuse to cast vote for Hillary Clinton.

They were won over by Bernie’s message about corruption, cronyism on Wall Street which Hillary is as deep in as you can get. She’s the most pro-Wall Street candidate to run for President in history. She’ll maybe half of Berners at best. The rest will go either Gary Johnson of the Libertarians, Jill Stein of the Greens, Donald Trump (possibly as much as a third of them) or simply stay home on election day. That or they’ll still go to the polls and won’t fill out a ballot for President.

As this trend of corruption continues to unfold for Hillary Clinton, more voters will be turned off. Her favorable ratings among Latinos, women and self-ID liberals plummeted big time while Donald’s positives slowly but gradually go up. Many current Hillary supporters I think will abandon her go for either Gary Johnson and/or Jill Stein. If this along with the Berners voting Libertarian or Green happens, Hillary could plummet well below 45% in the popular vote.

Final popular vote result be something like this; Trump, 46%; Hillary, 33%; Johnson, 14%; Jill, 6%; everyone else, 1%. If that were to happen, Ross Perot ’92 all over again, this time working heavily against Hillary where it worked for husband 24 years ago. Trump would easily win a Reagan-like electoral landslide with those popular vote numbers. Democrats would be full meltdown mode all over the news the next day seeing mass exodus of their voters to the Libertarian and Green party candidates and even Trump to lesser extent. Will this happen? Time will tell. Let me know what you think.

Several reasons why the Libertarian Party has become anti-open borders and semi-nationalist

  1. The welfare state. Almost half of all immigrants are on welfare and 62% of the illegal immigrants are on welfare compared to only 30% of American natives. Those numbers are not sustainable in the long run as it means more printing from the Fed, more votes for the Democrat Party to become even more electorally supreme.
  2. Immigrants at large will vote for the leftist party (the Democrats in this case) as it means increased welfare benefits. Libertarians claim that if you’re for open borders then you’ll attract immigrants over. Well that’s not exactly true. The overall voter electorate is 75% white European or Caucasian. The Libertarian Party’s ethnic makeup is 85% white European. At large almost a third of all Anglo-Saxon whites identify or lean libertarian. Only 12% of Latinos identify or lean libertarian and 6% of black Americans say so as well according Pew Research polling. Latinos who make up most of the immigrants legal or not want larger government. And yet the Libertarian Party (as well as think tanks like the Reason Foundation which otherwise does excellent work on pointing the follies of big government) think it’s a good idea to have open borders inviting in more people who are ideologically opposed to you. That’d be like the NBA firing all of their black players for Chinese people. There are of course tall Chinese people, but on average they’re much shorter than blacks and therefore aren’t gonna be able to dunk as easily as Lebron James. Just not gonna work.
  3. Open borders can invite terrorism in. All you have to do is look at Germany now having invited in over a million unvetted migrants. One of the San Bernardino shooters was from Saudi Arabia and supposedly passed security measures with “flying colors”. Omar Mateen’s family originally came from Afghanistan. Since 9/11 we’ve ratchet up the number of immigrants we get from the Arab world. And we’re starting to see the effects of it now. The refugee crisis which is really an invasion is what is fueling the rise of European right-wing parties from the French National Front party led by Marine Le Pen along with her niece Marion Marechal-Le Pen to UKIP under Nigel Farage up until recently and the Dutch Party of Freedom under Geert Wilders. And of course Donald Trump here as well as the Republican nominee. The Libertarian Party needs to become more nationalist in order to attract more voters over. Open borders as a concept is intriguing and has worked in the past when there was no welfare/warfare state present. But this isn’t the right age for it with the rise of Islam and the massive welfare state.
  4. Speaking of Islam, some aspects of the Libertarian Party has become to close with Islam which inherently is viciously anti-libertarian and anti-western. Not saying they need to become more hawkish as of course the wars in the Middle East in the past 15 years after 9/11 have been disasters. And I myself believe in the principles of the framers of non-aggression in foreign affairs. However that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t actively oppose ideologies that literally want to destroy the West.

There’s unfortunately other issues with the Libertarian Party such as embracing Black Lives Matters which has warped into racial supremacist group not unlike the KKK. And there’s things about Gary Johnson that has me entirely turned off from voting Libertarian this year such as again his embrace of BLM, his unsurprising favor of open borders and justifying state sanctioned force against business owners who don’t wanna provide for same-sex weddings as matter of conscience. And his choosing of former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld as his VP who’s no libertarian whatsoever who’s backed the Iraq War, eminent domain, gun control and even recently said consider appointing justices like Breyer or Ginsburg.

Throughout the summer the Libertarian Party has been doing well in polling data getting as much as 10 to 13 percent of the vote and may get into the debates with Trump and Hillary. In the end though, I suspect Gary Johnson will at best get 4 or 5 percent of the national popular vote. Probably will only get 2 or 3 percent in the end which will equally take votes from Trump and Hillary. Bottom line if the Libertarian Party wants to do well in the future and broaden its appeal, it must adopt an anti-open borders platform and seriously discuss the disturbing aspects of Islam among other things. That includes adopting more pro-life friendly language. Let me know what you think.

Why Donald Trump Will Win

To start with, Hillary Clinton is the most corrupt nominee of a major political party in decades. She’s so corrupt that Richard Nixon is rising from the grave to mock her. She’s been involved with so many scandals and corruption for years ranging from Whitewater to Bosnia, the Clinton Foundation, the email scandal, Benghazi and other notables. I suggest you go watch BlackPigeon’s video on the Clinton’s top ten scandals.

Based on the corruption and scandals of the Clintons, Trump I believe will win the White House on election day. Yes the polls show him down by six points almost, but that’s due to the post-DNC bounce for one. And another thing, people have a tendency to lie to live pollsters about who they’re voting for.

Roger Stone observed recently on the Alex Jones show that the polls underestimate Trump’s support by 5-7 percentage points or possibly more. Also let’s not forget that pollsters can manipulate the questioning to make undecided voters swing a particular direction. Reuters removed the “undecided/neither” option in their polling track so as to give Hillary Clinton a slight advantage.

Another thing is that Bernie voters don’t like Hillary at all and felt betrayed when their guy Bernie sold out. He spent his entire career railing against Wall Street, cronyism and corruption, only to endorse a candidate of Wall Street, cronyism and corruption Hillary Clinton. You go to live ground and many Bernie voters say they’re willing to vote for Donald Trump over Hillary.

I’m thinking Hillary will only get maybe half at best of all Bernie supporters and the rest will either support Trump, Green Party nominee Jill Stein, Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party or just stay home on election day. Trump can get as much as a third of those people which can easily be enough to deliver him to the White House.

I think Donald Trump at a minimum will win somewhere around 270 to 280 electoral votes which will of course be enough get him elected President. Though I think he could win more than that – MUCH MORE. I think he’ll be the first GOP nominee since George Sr. to win Pennsylvania which has got a lot of blue collar Democrat voters who are resonated with his rhetoric on NAFTA and poor trade deals that have left America in a worse off position in terms of jobs and economic growth. And it was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA as President.

Same goes for Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois and even New Jersey potentially. And Trump should also win every other swing state as well. My thinking is that the most probably victory margin for him is somewhere around

With all that said though, we should still be vigilant and careful. Considering how many states Bernie Sanders won in the Democrat primary and if you take out the super-delegates (many of whom are lobbyists), he would’ve been the rightful nominee of the Democratic Party. A Bernie vs Trump race would’ve been more honest and more healthy for the Democratic process.

Hillary stole it out from under his feet with a mix of voter fraud and the aforementioned super-delegates. If she’s willing to steal the Democrat nomination from Bernie, then what’s to stop her from stealing the White House from Trump? If the final result is dependent on one or two states, then Hillary’s goons can easily tip the scales through voter fraud which is far more rampant than leftists would say.

And it’s not just the Democrats using voter fraud, it’s been used by the other side as well if you look at the 2004 Presidential race where GWB implausibly won reelection against John Kerry. Roger Stone in a recent interview with Stefan Molyneux said that Karl Rove used voter fraud to (ultimately unsuccessfully) give Ohio to Romney hence why Rove had said on Fox News that night four years ago said Romney won the state while the final results showed Obama winning it. Clearly someone came in with a better deal.

Now I’m still optimistic about Trump winning (as well as Republicans keeping hold of Congress), we just need to keep our guard up for the unexpected as the Clintons will do anything to grab power. The worse thing we can possibly do is be complacent.

Trump 2016 (cause fuck the political elites)

I’ve admittedly gone back and forth in the past year on Donald Trump. I started out as staunchly anti-Trump and would often get into heated twitter debates with Trumpites. However in the past several months (particularly after Rand Paul left the Republican race), I’ve slowly grown fond of Trump especially in face of such irrational hatred from the so called “tolerant” left-wing. They call him fascist constantly and compare him to Hitler even though they’re actually the ones are being fascist by attacking and harassing Trump supporters at rallies, most recently being in San Jose where a woman got egg thrown in her face by Bernie supporters waving Mexican flags around.

My biggest reason for supporting Trump is his immigration policy which would place in odd position with some of my fellow libertarians who are unwisely pro-open borders. I use to like Gary Johnson quite a lot and appreciate the work he did as New Mexico Governor as well as a business man. But his tactic of calling Trump racist makes him indistinguishable from left-wing Bernie supporters. I’ve also major issues with him ranging from his endorsement of wedding cake fascism to choosing very unlibertarian Bill Weld as his VP who previously endorsed left-leaning John Kasich for President who passed Medicaid expansion in Ohio which is only gonna bankrupt the state in the long run.

Then there’s his record as Governor of Massachusetts. When he first ran back in 1990, he promised to slash spending and the bureaucracy and he only ended up increasing it dramatically. Now his governorship wasn’t all that bad as back then, Massachusetts was known as “Taxachusetts”. Today it’s pretty middle of the road on business friendliness and economic freedom which is thanks to Bill Weld in good part. But the fact he failed to actually cut the bureaucracy and is now the VP for the Libertarian Party puts it in great danger of placing it back into irrelevance. And I’m saying this as someone who recently re-registered as a Libertarian right after Oklahoma officially recognized the party once again (our state is incredibly notorious for having the toughest election ballot laws in the country making third party recognition near impossible).

Back to Donald Trump, it’s not just the left but some on the #NeverTrump right who’ve called him Hitler with failed Republican nominee for California Governor Meg Whitman saying this most recently. This has become tiring and cliched by this point. Also I’ll say that those call Trump “Hitler”, you might wanna look up what Hitler himself said about Islam.

So to the political establishment, FUCK YOU BIG TIME. TRUMP 2016.

Why I’m not #NeverTrump or #NeverNeverTrump

Over the course of the year since Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination in June of last year, my feels for him have been as fluid as water. I was initially vehemently anti-Trump due to his well known past of donating to Democrat leftist politicians from the likes of Chuck Schumer, Anthony Weiner, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama etc. And some of his economic policies I wasn’t too happy about (and I’m still not sure honestly). Though over the course of 11 months with the radical anti-liberty Left obsessively attacking Trump anything from his supposed misogyny, racism, xenophobia etc, I’ve increasingly become more receptive to him especially over his immigration stances which is one of two things I 100% agree with on (the other being the dangers of Islam as a religion).

For a time I was an enthusiastic supporter of Rand Paul well over a year before he announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination and I continue to support him for a 2nd term in the Senate. While I was disappointed he withdrew from the race several months ago, I wasn’t surprised as he wasn’t polling all that well in the final month or two of his campaign. I think the primary reason why his campaign didn’t work out like it would’ve been preferred was Trump’s being in the race which drew a lot of voters I think would’ve otherwise supported Rand.

In fact, there’s a good number of libertarians (obviously not those at Reason.com since they love open borders) who are now supporting Trump including notable individuals like former Ron Paul staffer Lew Rockwell and Austrian economist Walter Block who’s actually formed the organization Libertarians for Trump under the reasoning that he’s the most libertarian or the least unlibertarian of the GOP candidates particularly on the matter of foreign policy. A lot of former Rand Paul supporters have also gone over to Trump as well.

Though things get even stranger when you hear neocons like Republican Senator Tom Cotton (who’s very much a Cheneyite) and former UN ambassador John Bolton praise the Donald for his foreign policy comments. Yet I can certainly say his foreign policy is far more preferable than what we’ve gotten under four consecutive terms under Bush and Obama which is perpetual war and debt, and batshit crazy interventions like Iraq and Libya (Hillary Clinton of which has been waist deep in as well both as Senator and Secretary of State).

There’s things I legitimately disagree with Trump on such as government surveillance, eminent domain and the apple encryption relating to the San Bernardino terror attack. I’m keeping my options open about voting LP if Austin Peterson wins the party’s nomination next week, but I’m not against ultimately voting for Trump if I feel I must. Ultimately three things may make four years of Trump in the White House worth it;

  1. The eradication of the Clintons and Hillary’s prosecution over her criminal neglect of thousands of classified emails
  2. The Media Industrial Complex utterly and totally destroyed (or at least downsized in its influence)
  3. Seeing a bunch of regressive progressive left SJWs cry and bitch like a bunch of little children on election night if Trump wins.

Right now, I don’t know what will happen in the scenario Trump wins the Presidency. Though I know full well what will happen with the Clintons back in the White House. Just my thoughts anyway.
