Is anyone is the conservative movement saying "A vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Hillary Clinton!"?

I'm a progressive, and I REALLY don't want to vote for Hillary. I will if I have to, but as I live in a state that hasn't gone red since Nixon, I don't have to. Hillary's supporters in the establishment press are saying that "a vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Donald Trump", and using fear politics to try to get people to vote for Hillary. Is anyone on the right doing that to Gary Johnson?

BTW, I don't believe for a second that Jill Stein can win. I'm voting for her in hopes that the Green Party will get the 5% of the vote they need for federal recognition and funding, and to force every state to put them on the ballot next time around. Down with the two party system!

I don't think anyone in the republican party cares about the other candidates. It's more important, atleast in my eyes. That the tax cuts from Trump get passed. So a vote for not Trump is a vote for poverty and homelessness. A vote against parents feeding their kids and a vote to kill all the budget except medicare, medicaid and wellfare.

Because we can either keep medicare, medicaid and wellfare the same and collapse the economy or just get rid of everything but those. Or we can reform it and pay for everything. If we reform it, over 100 million people plus will earn a extra 1/4 wage per check biweekly. I don't see anything hillary can produce tangibly. Honestly, there is a definition of Hope I use from the book Making Hope Happen.

It's Agency (your ability like motivation and everything it takes, energy, sleep things like that).
Plus Goals. Plus actual pathways to get those goals accomplished.

I see tons of agency with Trump. I see zero agency with hillary because she hasn't promised anything. Infact our agency of what runs the nation is on empty and she says we need more of that. More burned out agency. That means she wants no way to even get to a single pathway. Meaning no one in America will be close to easily accomplish goals.

So I say vote for real hope, not real misleading things.

Clinton has crashed 9 points in only a week. While Democrat Kzir Khan details plans to force women in America under Sharia law.

The New Jersey-based polling company's national telephone and online White House Watch survey of 1,000 likely U.S. voters shows:

Clinton (Democrat): 41 percent
Trump (Republican): 39 percent
Gary Johnson (Libertarian) 9 percent
Jill Stein (Green Party): 3 percent
Other candidates: 3 percent
Undecided: 5 percent
The poll, conducted Aug. 15-16, has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.

Take into consideration the 9 percent that Gary Johnson has, and Trump is leading Clinton.
Everyone knows that Johnson is going nowhere like Bush & Cruz. Johnson can not pack voters in like Trump can.

Yes some of my friends say a vote for anyone other than Trump is a sin since it makes it more likely hillary will win

No, most conservatives couldn't care less what happens to Trump now.

He is losing support at neck-breaking speed.
A lot of sitting Republicans have now announced they would vote for Hillary Clinton. This is unprecedented.
