Real Dogs Eat Meat

In most elections the Libertarian candidate steals votes from the GOP candidate and when the Republicans nominate is a bible-thumper or warmonger the free-thinking Randian can often take enough votes to throw the election to the Democrat in the race. So the media, being good Democrats, leave the Libertarians alone and let them go about their business. Not this year.

This year the Libertarian Gary Johnson is taking votes from HRC and here's the proof.

There was a bit of lead up into the Aleppo question and it's worth reading the full transcript of the event but here's how it should have gone down:

BARNICLE: Which of those candidates of the two-party system — Republican candidate, Democratic candidate — do you draw the most votes from?
JOHNSON: You know, in all of these polls it’s just, remarkably, 50-50. Amazingly, I think, though, that with the exception of just a few polls it’s more votes from Hillary.
BARNICLE: Do you —
JOHNSON: But I think — I think when it ends up it will really be 50-50.
BARNICLE: But do you worry about the Nader effect in 2000?
JOHNSON: I don’t worry one bit about it. I really do think that the two-party system is broken. I don’t think Democrats are able to balance a checkbook these days. That’s it’s all about bigger government and higher taxes. And then Republicans with, I think, the social agenda. Look, whatever your social inclinations are just don’t force it on me. And I think the Republican Party has gotten really extreme in that category.
BARNICLE: What would you do, if you were elected, about Aleppo?
JOHNSON: About?
BARNICLE: Aleppo.
JOHNSON: Go fuck yourself you partisan Democrat stooge.
BARNICLE: You’re kidding.
JOHNSON: No. You think you're going to throw out some random word - totally out of any context - signifying a place, chemical or military term and try to make me look stupid or uninformed and I'm not going play your bullshit game.
BARNICLE: Aleppo is in Syria. It’s the — it’s the epicenter of the refugee crisis.
JOHNSON: OK, got it, got it. Well, I bet there's not one person out of ten thousand in this country that could even find Syria on the map. If I were president I wouldn't do anything about Aleppo and neither will any of the other candidates.
BARNICLE: OK.

No, not OK. Johnson is pulling votes from Hillary so he must be destroyed. Many of the Republicans that are supporting Johnson are men married to Democrat woman who can't take the nagging at home so will keep talking about the Libertarian until they draw the curtain on election day and pull the lever for the Elvis from Queens.
