      Hey, there’s a first time for anything…

      2020:
      Libertarian - 1.18%
      Green - 0.26% (Howie Hawkins)

      2016:
      Libertarian - 3.28%
      Green - 1.07% (Jill Stein)

      2012:
      Libertarian - 0.99%
      Green - 0.36% (Jill Stein)

      2008:
      Ralph Nader - 0.56%
      Libertarian - 0.40%
      Constitution - 0.15%
      Green - 0.12% (Cynthia McKinney)

      2004:
      Ralph Nader - 0.38%
      Libertarian - 0.32%
      Constitution - 0.12%
      Green - 0.10% (David Cobb)

      2000:
      Green - 2.74% (Ralph Nader)
      Reform - 0.43% (Pat Buchanen)
      Libertarian - 0.36%
      Constitution - 0.09%
      Natural Law - 0.08%

      In order to hit 5%, she would have to do twice as well as Nader did in 2000.

      That is never going to happen.

        are you suggesting a politician would get in front of a camera and just lie??

          She’s probably hopeful, delusionally so, but hopeful.

          Nobody running for President is going to come out and just admit “Ok, yeah, I have trouble breaking 1%… but THIS TIME…”
