"What we're recommending will appeal less to people who think tactically than to conscientious Americans so infuriated that they want to send a message about the failings of the major parties and their candidates."

Sanders, I mean Gary Sanjohnson, is about, as Libertarian, maybe less, than Bernie?
I know, some of you may be dumb, but are you really 'stupid'? Would a 'real', again 'real', Libertarian candidate choose or accept a 'red communist' anti-gun running mate? HR Weld, speaks for you Liberltarians! http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/08/dean-weingarten/lp-vp-video-gun...

What is most notable about the Chicago Tribune endorsement was that it wasn't for one of the major party candidates. Although he's not perfect, I view Johnson as an improvement over Hillary or Trump. I have not heard a convincing rationale for why Trump or Hillary is a better choice than Johnson.

That being said, at this point I'm leaning towards supporting Darrell Castle. However, Darrell isn't perfect either.

Frankly, is not too different from Trump as a Republican. Trump is a fiscally conservative candidate as well.(and in many ways, I think Johnson /Weld is worse. Both Johnson and Weld are a nasty hybrid of left and right statist. https://www.zeroaggressionproject.org/mental-lever/left-statists-and-rig...) I'm leaning Darrell Castle, it's hard to vote for any of them, but at least Castle is aligned with the values of his party. I'd be inclined to write in Ron Paul because of the lack of real choices for most in this election, but I really don't have a good excuse with Castle on the ballot.
