Tim Kaine thinks a vote for Gary Johnson is a wasted vote

Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton’s running mate, believes a vote for Gary Johnson is a wasted vote.

The presidential campaigns of Clinton and Donald Trump have mostly ignored the Johnson and Jill Stein campaigns. They may have to finally at least mention them because the Johnson/Bill Weld ticket is taking away votes from both camps.

But Kaine believes that you shouldn’t vote for them since they have zero chance of winning. This is the usual two-party rhetoric that most presidential candidates purport on the election trail. He also referred to the 2000 election result between Al Gore and George W. Bush, blaming Ralph Nader once again.

“The argument against the [third-party] ticket is, I think everybody knows they’re not going to win,” Kaine said. “And the argument is the Al Gore-George W. Bush race in 2000. The third-party candidacy of Ralph Nader cost Gore electoral votes in New Hampshire and Florida, and if Gore had been president, we probably wouldn’t have had a war in Iraq.”
