Should the Libertarian Candidates be included in the Presidential- VP debates

Should the Libertarian Candidates be included in the Presidential- VP debates

I think that any candidate who is on the ballot should be included.
 
I think anybody polling under 10-15% by the time of the Presidential debates has absolutely no chance to win the election and I don't think they should be awarded time when we have precious little of it to hear those who do have a chance to win the election. I would have no problem with giving equal time in a separate debate for the lesser candidates, and that would be a really patriotic thing to do to give them a chance to be seen and heard.

I question whether there are any lesser candidates than Mr. Trump and Sen. Clinton.
 
And I think recreational marijuana should be a local issue much as alcohol used to be either at the state or community level. Those who want a drug free, alcohol free environment should be able to have that. Those that want more unrestricted marijuana and alcohol use should have that. Everybody shouldn't have to have the same policy. But I don't think Gary left New Mexico much better off than he found it and I do not think he is the right man to be President. And neither is Trump but he comes a whole bunch closer to what I think we need than Gary does.
To me, Johnson is not a classic Libertarian, so his widespread support as such doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Unless, maybe, people are willing to compromise even that because they literally have no other choice at this point.
