His economic socialism.<br /><br />I agree Jersey, as much as Trumpy rubs me against my grain Ted Cruz is as dangerous if not more so than Trumpy. Certainly from the civil liberties standpoint.<br /><br />I continue to like Johnson and he has in my view good sense and the countries best interests in mind. That is why both conservatives and progressives ignore him.<br /><br />It will never happen because the powers of the major parties and the media they have bought will make sure he is shut down. But in my view he would make a better president than any candidate of either party.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-59691424466016009562016-01-07T17:23:28.947-05:002016-01-07T17:23:28.947-05:00Johnson's going to do better this time around?...Johnson's going to do better this time around?

Trump would negate the importance libertarian vote. Johnson would have little to no effect on Clinton. Sanders is not going to make it, but if he did, all the civil libertarian vote would go to him, and Johnson again negated. Trump wins the nod, Hillary wins the Presidency, regardless of Johnson. Same goes for Cruz, the real fascist psycho in all this. The little demon hiding behind Trump.<br /><br />JMJ Jersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-25677805904131568512016-01-06T23:31:17.589-05:002016-01-06T23:31:17.589-05:00But, does he really have the sheer animal magnetis...But, does he really have the sheer animal magnetism of a genius such as Ross Perot?Flying Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098313953658606206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-88780684892482408272016-01-06T23:01:12.334-05:002016-01-06T23:01:12.334-05:00I meant to say, "I expect Johnson to DO bette...I meant to say, "I expect Johnson to DO better...."Jerry Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870618647449723147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-72362741436929937282016-01-06T20:55:15.796-05:002016-01-06T20:55:15.796-05:00I expect Johnson to be better this time around.

Likewise, he will draw votes from the democrats with either Sanders or Clinton as their nominee. Will he garner enough votes to win? No. But I welcome him into the race. I hope the media will as well.Jerry Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870618647449723147noreply@blogger.com
