Gary Johnson Is the Ticket for Libertarians
Alternative to Clinton , Trump
Gary Johnson is the Libertarian candidate for President . As a former Republican Governor of New Mexico , a chiefly Democratic state , Johnson cut taxes , balanced the state budget , and took New Mexico from having one of the highest unemployment rates in the country to one of the least . His running mate , William Weld , did the same for Massachusetts .
In addition to his political success , Johnson has climbed the tallest mountain on each of Earth ’ s

continents ( including Mt . Everest ), he is an iron-man triathlete , and is a successful entrepreneur .
Eventually , Johnson ’ s disagreements with the Republican Party ’ s intolerant social policies and warmongering foreign policy led him to leave the Republicans and officially join the Libertarian Party .
Libertarians are fiscally conservative and socially liberal . They believe in keeping the government out of your wallet and out of your bedroom , and tend to have a non-interventionist
foreign policy . As Austin Peterson
Gary Johnson said , Libertarians want “ a world where gay married couples can defend their marijuana fields with fully automatic machine guns .” Who can ’ t get behind that ?
Along with Johnson ’ s fiscal responsibility and socially tolerant policies , one of his most attractive characteristics is that he is not Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton . He is currently polling at around 6 percent of the United States popular vote , with higher numbers than either Trump or Clinton among millennials and active duty military .

this in the first place ?
Now , the Clinton Foundation . Hillary claims to be a champion of women ’ s rights , but I don ’ t see how this can be true when she accepts millions of dollars from countries , like Saudi Arabia , that suppress women .
Mrs . Clinton ’ s lack of clarity can be seen in her Wall Street speeches , in which she stated that one must have a private and a public view of economics in order to run for office . She condemned half of Trump supporters as “ deplorable and irredeemable .” She is out of touch with everyday Americans . The thing that frightens me most is

unacceptable comments about women and young girls for years , along with xenophobic tirades against the Latino and Muslim communities in the name of some idealistic crusade to “ Make America Great Again .” But what is her inability to connect with voters . From visiting families as First Lady of Arkansas to seeing African villages as Secretary of State , Clinton has been talking to real people with real life experiences , yet she seems so robotic . For the life of me , I can ’ t comprehend how Trump , who has been served by butlers in his golden Trump Tower , can connect with voters while Hillary cannot .
Yes , Donald Trump has major character and policy issues , but there is no perfect choice this year . If you care about the Supreme Court , the Second Amendment , abortion , etc ., I encourage you to do your best to put your strife aside and vote for him . He is the only person that can keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House .
really startling is the amount of inappropriate sexual misconduct allegations pointing towards “ The Donald ” – enough to give a logical person some red flags about the man .
All in all , despite his untrustworthy and vile opponent being an option , Trump should NOT assume the role of the 45th President of the United States .
