Anyone catch this? Jill Stein of the Green Party and Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party. I thought there was a surprising _relative_ amount of specificity, especially w.r.t Johnson on taxes and Stein on health care.

Not having listened to the major party debate (don’t have a TV), what did you all think of this versus the major party debate? There was also a surprising amount of agreement between the two considering their wide economic differences.
