Title: Gary Johnson might be at the debates this fall.
Post by: Kyle Ricky on July 24, 2012, 03:52:30 PM
Why do I have Clinton, Perot, and Bush vision in my head? Cavuto is talking with Gary Johnson and they are saying that once he gets 15% of the polls he can be at the debates. Johnson seems to feel it will happen. Any thoughts?

That is the Saturday Night Live 1992 debate between Clinton (Phil Hartman), Perot (Dana Carvey), and Bush (Dana Carvey)..

As if he is going to get even close to 15% in the polls.

Here's one. 

He's a friggin loon.  Paul couldn't get 15 percent, no way in hell Johnson will in his wildest dreams.

At least Ross Perot had personality.  Ron Paul has his thugs and goons to browbeat people into either supporting him or standing against him.

This is true.

It will be interesting to see if Gary Johnson does make it to the debates. I'm not betting on it, but it will be interesting none the less.

all the Paultards will be writing in Paul over Johnston because of the abortion issue or, voting Obama, they think if Obama wins a 2nd term Paul will run again in 2016 so they can get to throw away thier votes and still pretend to be a part of the GOP.

He was talking the same way in the primaries too. Mostly in Chinese.

But he might still be at the debate--just in the audience.

We will have to wait and see then. I agree that he probably won't be in the debate, but I won't be surprised if he is.

Someone e-mailed me this gallup poll the other day

http://www.gallup.com/poll/155537/little-support-third-party-candidates-2012-election.aspx

(http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/zv4dwarhbesvv-skk1bbgq.gif)

Johnson is polling at 3%

In the article it shows how support for 3rd parties only drops as the election season goes along and Johnson will be lucky to retain 25% of the 3% hes polling at

There is no chance he will make the debates.

Going by that, I would tend to agree with you.
