    Oh, so NOW there’s no numbers that will make the party not fringe.

    Not. What. I. Said.

    And I think you know that. I’m not going to give you a hard number because that’s being pedantic and not worth the time.

    Why so angry and afraid of a 3rd party that you think has no chance and no hope? Shouldn’t affect you at all, right?!

    In a debate? C’mon. You can do the risk-reward analysis as well as I can.

    There’s practically zero upside, and they’d have to spend time, energy and money that can be better spent elsewhere.

    It’s entirely natural to be strategic, and the simple fact is, the barely-a-quarter percentage of voters is going to get reached either way; and there’s a lot more to be gained with other events.

      Of course you don’t have a hard number. Because the reality is that you just don’t want 3rd party options.

      Attitudes like yours are what make me happy to vote for 3rd parties.
