CNN will host a primetime town hall with Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson and vice presidential candidate William Weld, the cable news channel announced Wednesday.
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo will moderate the town hall, which will air Wednesday, June 22 at 9 p.m. It will be held at CNN's headquarters in New York's Time Warner Center, with Johnson and Weld being asked questions by voters.
CNN has held 10 town halls so far this election cycle, with most of the Republican and Democratic candidates. Libertarian candidates have generally not had the same media exposure that their Republican and Democratic counterparts have. Fox Business Network held a two part Libertarian party debate back in April, but primetime on CNN is a more high-profile venue for the party.

If Stein keeps moving up in the polls I hope they do the same with her.

I would never vote for a fraud like Johnson or any of the L big group.

The problem is that including Stein in the polls hurts Johnson. Candidates need to be polling at 15% to be included in the televised debates. Johnson is fairly close to that number in three-way polls between himself, Clinton, and Trump. But in four-way polls including Stein, Johnson's percentage shrinks significantly.
Some people have noticed that Jill Stein started to be included in more polls as soon as Gary Johnson started to catch media attention. Conspiracy to keep Gary out of the debates? Stranger things have happened.

That isn't a good scenario.

Convincing a Bernie supporter to go Libertarian would be tricky considering his/her economic beliefs are the total opposite of the libertarian party
