re: #74 KGxvi

The other factor in 2016 was that the Libertarian Party ran a “respectable” nominee in Gary Johnson - someone who had actually held statewide office as a Republican. That gave a lot of cover for some Republicans and center-right types to not vote for Clinton while also not voting for Trump. Johnson’s 3.25% nationally was the most votes a third party nominee received since Perot in 1996.

And this year they are running a nobody since Amash dropped out of the race.
