Let's Talk About Gary Johnson

Key · 07-29-2016, 11:35 AM

I'm sure a lot of us have heard about this guy already, and honestly, I'm liking what i'm seeing when I read more about him. If people aren't aware of what's going in, basically Gary Johnson has been making some headway to become part of the debates alongside Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Basically, the man has beliefs on both sides which in turn makes him socially liberal, and fiscally conservative. He's basically got what people want from Sanders without having to vote for Clinton to have a democratic president. If you're like me, you don't want to vote for either candidates that are currently in the race, so for me, having someone like Gary Johnson have potential is a bit of a breath of fresh air. He's also got a very refined and successful background and political record which really speaks to me in the way that Sanders did.

And as of May 29th 2016, he has won the Libertarian nomination. Yes, he has a background of Republican policies, but really, if he has the potential to be our new president, I wouldn't cast my vote for anybody else but him. He definitely seems like the least corrupt person in the current political lineup right now.

I'm just hoping that anti trumping Republicans vote for Johnson and Bernie supporters back Jill Stein because that would split the race in a very interesting way.

I forgot to mention Jill Stein but that's a good point as well. I've looked into her as well, and if it were her vs Johnson, it would be a far more interesting election. I don't know who i'd vote for.

If you think Johnson and sanders are proposing similar policies you are a brain dead carp. That's really the nicest way to put it.

Seriously. I remember thinking Johnson's response to Bernie's endorsement of Hillary was incredibly phoned in. I'm pretty sure he did it for the Bernie bros who tagged along not for Bernie's policies but for his general revolution vibe/disillusionment with the current government.
