The other clowns who ran for the Libertarian party nomination make it really hard to take Gary Johnson seriously. That he is their candidate really just says he meets the very, very low bar that was set by the other candidates.
- dforrestwilson 10y agoA two-time governor running with another two-time governor as his VP? Both former Republicans overwhelmingly re-elected in Democratic states? Both fiscally conservative and socially liberal? I take that pretty seriously.
- davidw 10y agoHe seems like a better guy than Trump for sure in that he has actual experience in government.
- scruple 10y agoNot to mention that, while I do not personally agree with Gary Johnson on many (I consistently score the lowest with him on the I side with quiz) of his policies, it's hard to ignore that quite a few of the policies he has enacted as Governor have actually worked quite well. Admittedly, I have not researched this much. I simply haven't had time this summer and when I did look at this, back in May, it didn't look like he'd get to 15%.
- Uhhrrr 10y agoBoth he and his running mate (Bill Weld) are 2-term governors. I don't know why their primary opponents McAfee or Petersen would detract from that. Are you under the impression that they chose their opponents?
