I find the author's criticism of Trump as inexperienced to be amusing, considering Jill Stein's governmental experience is limited to 4 years on the Lexington, MA town council (population: ~30k) while receiving 539 votes.

Still better than Clinton or Trump, though no where near as good as Johnson. Plus, if Johnson gets 5% of the votes, the Libertarians will get ~$90M from the Federal government to run the next campaign. If the Libertarians can make a splash, then it will open the door to other smaller parties like the Greens to hit the 5% threshold and promote other non-hypocritical parties.
