I have voted Libertarian in every presidential election since 1976. I would have voted for John Hospers in 1972, but he was not on the ballot. (I sat the election out.) I did vote for Ron Paul in the last two Republican primaries, but voted Libertarian in the general election. I ran for the U.S. House in 1982 as a Libertarian.

This year, though, I will not vote for Johnson. By all accounts Johnson ran a really weak campaign from a libertarian perspective last election. Both he and Weld are sell-outs on gun control. Johnson was given a replica of George Washington's pistol by one of the other candidates for the nomination. He was later seen to throw it in the trash. ( ! )

I will probably vote for Trump even though I don't entirely trust him. ~Basil

From last night’s CNN town hall:

MODERATOR: President Barack Obama?

JOHNSON: Good guy.

WELD: Barack Obama? I think he’s been statesman-like the last couple of years. He had a disappointing first term and I think he’s picked up his game the last couple of years. It’s gone better for him.

MODERATOR: Hillary Clinton?

JOHNSON: Hillary Clinton, a wonderful public servant. I guess I would say that.

WELD: Old friend. Nice kid. Knew her in her twenties. We shared an office in the Nixon impeachment. Real bond, lifelong. Seriously, not kidding.

Wow, “wonderful public servant.” Can you remind us why anyone should vote for you?
