Choose Gary Johnson and Bill Weld - don't pick the meteor

At a time when 13% of registered voters polled showed a preference of having a giant meteor hit the Earth to having Trump or Clinton as president, the Libertarian ticket, starring former governors Johnson and Weld, hits it out of the park with a no-hype, plain-talking ad...



If they poll at 15%, they will be in the presidential debates this year. If they receive just 5% of the national vote total in the election, the Libertarian party will receive advance federal matching funds in the next presidential election, changing the election landscape.

That's a pretty appealing ad. I bet it gets lots of people who are dissatisfied with their current options. (I enjoyed talking to New Mexicans about what they thought Johnson was like as a governor... pretty different from what happened when I talked to Chicagoans about what they thought about the President when he held local office, heh. That was surprising to me!)

Yeah. Johnson was simply effective and didn't flinch from doing what was necessary, and still had state government doing the things that it is best at doing. With a surplus.
