I cannot understand why anyone outside of the two major parties would announce their candidacy for president of the United States. What is their motivation? To me it's like hunting big game with a 22 rifle. Or a high school football team trying to play the Chicago Bears. Both are lose-lose situations. Surely Gary Johnson and Jill Stein really know they cannot possibly win.
Are their egos so inflated they really think an asphalt roadway will produce a lawn if they throw enough seeds on it. Surely neither one is that dumb. And speaking of dumb, their donors and supporters don't take any prizes home. The Green Party and the Libertarians have been around like forever and obviously don't believe in reproduction.
Is money at the root of it? If I donated enough for these candidates to pay filing fees in all fifty states and take plane trips to the wrong event location and doesn't know Aleppo is a city in Syria. I would be a lot more strident about seeing some tax returns. Libertarians could set up funds to pay fines for driving without a license from the state government. Do they pay taxes? The Green Party could go plant some trees instead of wasting money on lost causes. As a matter of fact, they would best serve America by both planting trees instead of dabbling in politics.
