Hearing this guy a bit more lately. Figured I'd slip him in here to start some conversation. Unfortunately, "Feel the Gary" doesn't sound as good, and well... Feel the Johnson... yeah.
Any who.
“I think 30 million people here are up for grabs that are probably Libertarian; it’s that they just don’t know it,” he said to me.
In other words, Gary Johnson is looking to make libertarianism normal. In the year of Trump, Bernie Sanders and flipping the system the bird, he might just have a shot. Still, it all depends on how weird Americans are willing to let things get.
EDIT:
For his boiled down stances.
My perception of the Libertarian Party is that they want to double down on the "I've already got mine, so you can go fuck yourself" part of the Republican platform. Nothing I've seen this so far this election cycle has convinced me that this has changed.
