   1. Most Libertarians tend to be ex Republicans so this hurts trump badly. The Green Party and jill Stein will take the left progressive votes but they are not doing great anywhere. Plus it should be noted that trump, Stein and johnson are all anti vaxxers. This is an important issue to many people and Hillary is pro vacination.

   2. What would you (or other readers of The Big Line) gain from having two added names in the Presidential contest, both followed by 0%? Neither Johnson or Stein have any hope of winning the state's electoral vote.

      1. A sense of self-worth?

         Seeing one's name in lights?

         Making it "big-time"!?

         That queasy feeling that comes after the surge of adrenaline from achieving one's greatest life ambition, then realizing it's all downhill from there?

         Bupkiss?

      1. So what'll it be? Johnson with .000001% chance of winning and Stein < 0?

2. Let the Games Begin!

   Cards Against Humanity Release ‘Hillary’ and ‘Trump’ Expansions

   Cards Against Humanity, the foul-mouthed, sacrilegious card game, just released two “America Votes” expansion packs of 15 cards each. One contains a bunch of jokes about Hillary Clinton and the Democrats, the other a slew of burns aimed at Donald Trump and the GOP. They both cost $4, and regardless of which candidate’s likeness sells more, all proceeds will go to Clinton’s campaign. “We definitely took an editorial hand on this, and are certainly against Trump,” says designer Max Temkin, Cards Against Humanity’s creator.

4. Hilarious Trump story in New York today.  I'll spare you the pictures but NYC parks dept really got off a good one that will really piss off Trump 

   seriously foul sculpture of Donald Trump with his junk out was removed from Union Square by the NYC Parks Department.

   Still, they managed to deliver one last sick burn toward the Republican presidential candidate. As tweeted by Wall Street Journal reporter Josh Dawsey:

   NYC parks department on naked Trump statue: “NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small.”

   Yup, that’s a real quote. It seems even Trump’s tiny penis, devoid of any testicles whatsoever, still went against official NYC park policy.

   1. Sweet. Kudos to IndeCline Anonymous artists collective. May their molds multiply. The Trump statue will do for the Donald what Tina Fey did for Sarah Palin: blur the line between art and reality.
