Now they have successfully maneuvered the Hillary campaign into the conversation as the 'better than Trump' which is obviously is, and people will go for it. Does it make her a good candidate? No, she is the same only corrupt Hillary are before. But at this point, at least she isn't Trump.
I am glad I live in Canada, where our PM of 10 years at least wasn't a corrupt, manipulating liar like the next POTUS will be.

No, Gary Johnson wouldn't win, because the electoral college exists. This isn't a popular vote scenario, look at 2000. Gore won the popular vote but lost the election due to the electoral college and Nader snagging Dem voters.
For better or worse, with the electoral college it is a vote for the lesser of two evils. Period.
