5 Reasons Why Gary Johnson Shouldn’t Be The Libertarian Party’s Presidential Nominee
REASON #4 – His pick for Vice President
Gary Johnson’s pick for Vice President, William Weld, has been the topic of many discussions for Libertarians as of late, and has begun to make even the most staunch Johnson supporters jump ship, with many people talking about Weld’s record on gun rights. As governor of Massachusetts, Weld supported legislation to ban assault weapons, and signed into law numerous gun control measures. Hoping that Weld had changed his mind on this issue, some of Johnson’s supporters stood by his decision, but all hope was lost when Weld doubled down on his anti-gun stance in a recent interview on CNN. This brings up a lot of questions and concerns about the kinds of people Gary will continue to surround himself with and potentially be influenced by.
Last but not least.
Wow this was a HORRIBLE “article”. The “reasons” given are all very subjective, and not factual.
(Especially the one that “he’s not LP enough”)
Is there anything on this site that isn’t “click bait”?
The majority of content now is click bait, that’s how sites get visits and click-throughs. This is far from the worst or even most typical example thereof. However, I have to agree that the opinion here is just plain old soap-boxing, without any objective support for the author’s arguments – particularly the fifth reason. Still, there is some food for thought contained in Mr. Carr’s perspective.
no one thats voting for him cares if he is libertarian or not. if you want your party represented by a true libertarian, provide one. til then your party will continue to be used to house the 3rd most likely to win candidate regardless of their views.
