Cornell University College Republicans announced this afternoon that they will endorse Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson for president, in a statement that acknowledged the wide spectrum of conservative beliefs that compose the club.

“Our organization does not solely represent the Republican Party,” the statement said, “Our first responsibility is to our members.”

Club leadership stressed that Cornell Republicans are “libertarians, moderates, neoconservatives and everyone in between.” In an “unprecedented” election year, campus Republicans say they could not tolerate Donald Trump as their party’s nominee.

“Mr. Trump should not be the face of American conservatism,” the club’s statement reads, proceeding to call Johnson a “true conservative.”

Thus, rather than endorsing their party’s nominee, Cornell Republicans say they are committed to helping Johnson reach the 15 percent threshold required to appear on the debate stage this fall.

Not all of Upstate NY. Remember: There’s a reason Ithaca is called the “City of Evil.” ;-)

Cornell Republicans don’t believe in the GOP Platform. They are GOP in name only. Good riddance.

Probably just a legalized marijuana thing. They’re feeling “the Johnson”.

They are just announcing for Johnson: most are really for Mrs. Bill, of that we can be pretty sure.

Good to know a libertarian pothead gobalist global warming alarmist now is the best Cornell Republicans can unite behind.

Why not vote for Hillary? What difference does it make.

And if their decision helps put Hillary in the White House maybe they can get Bill to take them to Epstein’s ORGY ISLAND for some 12 yr olds

The Republican party is telling us that whatever we do, don’t vote Republican.

Isn’t Obamaland great? :)

Johnson is hardly libertarian. He’s liberal ‘light.’
