Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson to make stop in Maine
“He still says he wants to build a wall across the border”, Johnson said of Trump.
Johnson sees an opportunity in MI.
The Quinnipiac survey of 1,498 likely voters was conducted August 18th through 24th and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. In New Mexico, Johnson’s home state, the ticket came in at 14 percent in a poll conducted by Public Polling Policy from May. Johnson also faulted Congress for refusing to formally address the issue of military force against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, saying lawmakers have abdicated their war responsibilities. If deciding to vote for the eventual victor in an election (no matter how detestable) in order to be “right” gives you satisfaction as if you were betting a horse race, I suggest you examine your own personal convictions.
The event will take place from 1 to 3 p.m.at Boston Common’s Parkman Band Stand. He mixes goofy facial expressions with debonair charm, is open about smoking pot, doesn’t believe in restricting guns, climbed Mt. Everest even though he had one broken leg, did a shirtless photo shoot for GQ, and called Trump a “pu**y”. Stossel said Libertarians feel people should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t hurt other people.
But a look at its board of directors reveals an old boys network consisting exclusively of Republican and Democratic loyalists.
In the Real Clear Politics polling average, Johnson, the former Governor of New Mexico, is at 8.9% of the vote in national polls, behind Clinton and Trump.
When asked what’s new that they bring to the election, Johnson said that they represent the majority of Americans that are fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Perhaps libertarians are holding him to a higher standard, but Johnson is proving that he is in way over his head as a Libertarian Party presidential candidate. “They’ve both been vetted by their own experience”.
Johnson and Weld also are actively promoting worldwide trade agreements in stark contrast to Trump and Clinton, who have vowed to oppose the 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership pact involving many Pacific Rim nations as well as the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Among independent voters, 69 percent think Johnson should be allowed to participate in the presidential debates.
Johnson’s ballot access had been in question after party activists submitted paperwork and voter signatures earlier this month on behalf of a different candidate, with plans to swap in Johnson.
The problem for Johnson is that just 4 in 10 MI voters surveyed by Glengariff Group could identify him by name. “These are really hard-working people that are taking jobs that US citizens don’t want”. “These are retirement accounts that need to be solvent”, Johnson said.
“Republican women are pretty ripe for picking for right now”, he said.
The commission hasn’t said exactly which time period it will analyze, but it has to come early enough to give candidates enough time to prepare before the first presidential debate at Hofstra University in NY on September 26. I was very interested to learn about the Libertarian Party.
Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson will follow in Donald Trump’s footsteps when he comes to Detroit on September 14 and speaks to the Detroit Economic Club.
As Johnson tries to boost his standing and name identification, he has been sharpening his criticism of Trump and Clinton.
The Libertarian ticket of Gary Johnson and Bill Weld is traveling through New England this week. “And that’s not intentional, but that is what has happened”.
Bill Weld predicted Wednesday night that in a year of broken political rules, it only made sense that America would elect its first third-party president in more than 150 years.
If the goal is to prevent Donald Trump from becoming the next President of the United States, the Johnson campaign may just be what the doctor ordered, or what Hillary had hoped for.
