Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson held a rally in Burlington Wednesday Evening

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson held a rally in Burlington Wednesday Evening

Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico and libertarian candidate for president.

The "never Trump" sycophants are so blinded by their personal envy of Donald Trump that they appear willing to support progressive Gary Johnson in order to help Hillary Clinton take the White House from Trump, who has set records in Republican voter support winning 38 of 50 state Republican primaries. That's where Johnson comes in.

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. Among voters who consider themselves independent, the number is 69%.

Johnson himself still has visions of coming from behind and winning, but acknowledged he has no shot if he can't land on the national stage with a primetime appearance at the first presidential debate scheduled for September 26.

The first presidential debate is about a month away, and if the voters have their way, there will be three candidates on stage, not two.

Meanwhile, Johnson seems to be courting the youth vote with his use of memes and social media prowess.

The Libertarian Party has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to order OH to put its presidential candidate on the ballot with party label attached.

"He's saying awful things", Johnson said of Trump and responded to a question as to if Trump is a Fascist with: "It walks like a duck, quacks like a duck..." Johnson was asked by one of his rivals seeking the party's presidential nomination. He speaks more passionately and clearly than either of the major party presidential candidates.

The men said they are fiscally conservative but socially liberal.

"I guess the Olympic pole vault finals are today, and Donald Trump is watching those very closely, determining how high the Mexican pole vaulters can go".

The Libertarians have unsuccessfully challenged the change in law in the federal courts. "We think we're going to be in the presidential debates". He argued that the Iranian issue was an "unintended consequence" of America's war in Iraq, and said that he does not believe Tehran's nuclear program posed a threat to the United States. Juxtaposed to the increased spending Clinton and Trump have planned, Johnson stressed fiscal responsibility by the government. Johnson will get on at least 44 state ballots in November plus the District of Columbia, for 88% access. Johnson said that, like Sanders, he supports peace, marijuana legalization and same-sex marriage.

Like Milroy and Perez-Palma, Air Force veteran Louis Honeycutt said he has petitioned IAVA with hopes Johnson will be allowed to join Trump and Clinton in NY.
