Normally a libertarian candidate would hurt conservatives. But this guy isn’t very libertarian. He’s getting all of the disgruntled Bernie votes and the ‘liberal’ people who can’t vote for Hillary.

What she said.

I'll add that his running mate (William Weld) is a liberal Republican, whose positions make him toxic to conservatives.

That's where I am, too, LL.

I am willing to (and have) voted for Libertarian candidates locally [even though many are pro-abortion :( ]

Johnson isn’t trolling for Bernie voters running radio ads on Hannity and other conservative radio.

100% concur. I know a fair amount of young people - 20s to early 30s - mainly through mutual gaming interests. They mean well, but are appallingly ignorant even when tech savvy. Everyone of them who expressed an opinion was firmly in the tank for Bernie, and naively thought he would win. All of them are now supporting Johnson as an alternative, or remain silent. Wattzaleppo Johnson is our friend right now, as he is bleeding Baba Clinton.
