What??

In Michigan Gary Johnson got 172,136 votes, in Pennsylvania he got 146,715, and in Wisconsin he got 106,674. If all Greens voted Clinton and all Libertarians voted Trump then New Mexico would've only been won by Clinton with around 1,000 votes, Colorado would've also been nearly Trump. Nevada, New Hampshire, and Minnesota would've been won by Trump. Maine might've gone majority Trump.

Third parties hurt Trump more than they help him, because Libertarians would not have voted Clinton.

The Green Party is far more left-wing than the Libertarian Party is right-wing.

How does that contradict what I said. Also the LP is still further right than the GOP

They actually aren't further right anymore

I don't agree, but "right-wing" doesn't really have a non-arbitrary definition so it doesn't really matter
