Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson and his running mate William Weld exposed themselves as shills for Democrat Hillary Clinton during an extensive primetime town hall with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
Weld defended Hillary Clinton on her private email scandal and played attack dog on Donald Trump.
Johnson seemed sleepy, but he answered a question at length about THC amounts in marijuana and another from a young man asking about legalized prostitution. Johnson only lightly and perfunctorily criticized Clinton, instead focusing most of his low-energy attacks on Trump. He also revealed a personal gluten allergy and said that he himself would not patronize the services of prostitutes.
These two marginal politicians are clearly enjoying the spotlight that the pro-Clinton media are finally giving them in their effort to stop Trump. (Something tells me the folks at CNN have not secretly been reading Reason magazine all these years.)
The Johnson-Weld team seems to think that libertarianism is mostly about admitting as many immigrants to the United States as possible. This is a far cry from Ron Paul’s pro-borders libertarian movement of a few years ago. The libertarian movement has shifted to the progressive globalist Left.
Bill Weld has called Clinton “by and large a good secretary of state,” and Johnson has called her “a wonderful public servant.”

The dems are blasting Gary Johnson too for different reasons (he supports the TPP for example). Lots of negative press directed at 3rd Party Candidates lately. I have seen that Independents make up the largest voting block at 42%...here's hoping they get out for a change.
ReplyDeletei cannot fathom how anyone who has ever claimed to be conservative at all could stoop so low as to vote for such a socialist liberal as hillary simply because trump is not the republican candidate that they wanted. no, trump is not my first pick for a GOP candidate but there is NOTHING that could convince me that hellary is a better choice. talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. sheesh...
ReplyDelete...get out AND VOTE for a change...
