Anybody considering a vote for Gary Johnson this fall?

No, not at all.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I really don't see the point of spending time and money to travel to the voting booth just to vote for someone who has no realistic hope of winning an election.

Yes, but, then, you hardly see the point in voting.

There are other offices up for election as well. :P For instance, I intend to vote for a humane, progressive dog-catcher and a pro-recycling sanitation commissioner. :)

The worrying thing about Indiana(though it is a red state) is that Trump got nearly as many votes as the two Democrats combined.  :(

It's a well established fact that primaries are not a good indicator of general election turnout. In the general, Indiana will go to Madame President-elect.

Cruz is dropping out! :o

At least he has a loving and affectionate wife to fall back on in tough times like these.
He can give his daughter some extra spankings

I bet according to the Berkut & Habbaku Languish power couple this means that people clearly want Kasich.

Not surprising since she's Republican Lite.
