The Winston-Salem Journal says they’ve “even surprised themselves” with the paper’s endorsement of Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson for president:
It would be wonderful for our democracy to have Johnson and Weld, two thoughtful statesmen, on the debate schedule, starting Sept. 26, to balance the mudslinging sure to emanate from the two major-party candidates. The inclusion of the Libertarians could set the stage for one of the most exciting races in our history, instead of one of our most depressing. This Libertarian ticket has the potential to transform this race from one about insults and scandals to one about issues and honor.
We endorse Gary Johnson for president.
I’m not sure where the Journal’s editorialists are getting the idea that the inclusion of the Libertarians “could set the stage for one of the most exciting races in our history” other than the question of where his 9-10 percent would go-Clinton or Trump.
Believe you me I would have loved to latch onto to Gary Johnson as an alternative to Trump —Hillary simply not an alternative as far as I’m concerned. While some praise his views on immigration, they are simply too lax—-more work visas for immigrants is more government, right? And don’t even got started on his idea to combat so-called climate climate change—-drum roll please—-a carbon tax!!!
