Politics and such

Merely peeling off 5% of the vote at each end does nothing. State by state, its winner take all. I'd be amazed if either of them wind up over 10% in any state, and that won't get them any electoral votes. So it never gets to Congress.

I agree that it's a long shot at this point, but Johnson is polling at about 13% nationally. If he can get to 15% and it's actually acknowledged by the PTB, he would have a place in the national debates this fall, making it more of a possibility. It has happened before, but a loooong time ago.

Not an easy task for sure, but hey... I still think the market is going down at some point... so color me crazy! Tongue

So what do we do ? Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well. How?

I don't know. It's a mystery.
