I would add that normally Johnson and McMillan took votes from Trump while Stein from Clinton. Johnson received 3.28%, Stein 1.07% and McMillan 0.54%. If normalcy and ideology is applied 3.83% from Trump, 1.07% from Clinton. Libertarians and Conservatives tend to vote Republican, Green Party, Democratic. Which would have wiped out Hillary's 2 point victory margin in the popular vote if they hadn't been on the ballot.

Then too CNN exit polls ask the question if there were no third party candidates, the election just between Trump and Clinton who would you have voted for, 19% answered Trump, 16% Clinton, 65% said they would not have voted. Just think about that. 65% of 9 million who voted third party is 5.85 million. This means those 5.85 million people went to the polls to specifically vote against both major party candidates by casting a vote for a third party candidate. That means almost 6 million people wouldn't have voted if there were only two names on the ballot. Trump and Clinton.

Which also makes my first paragraph irrelevant. which simply means Trump would have received 1.7 more votes, Clinton 1.4 a total difference of only 300,000 for Trump as the rest of the third party vote wouldn't have voted.

But third party candidates helped Hillary more than Trump in 2016.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
