Hal Boyd: Gary Johnson says Mitt Romney would be 'guaranteed' a spot in his administration
desertnews ^

Posted on 08/22/2016 7:40:28 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday, former Gov. Gary Johnson offered a guarantee.

“If Mitt Romney wants to be a part of the administration, that would be a guarantee.”

The comments came at Friday’s joint Deseret News-KSL editorial board meeting with Johnson and Bill Weld.

I asked Johnson what role, if any, Romney might play in a Johnson-Weld administration. Although the Libertarian nominee seemed to doubt whether Romney would really be interested, he said the former Republican presidential nominee would be free to, in essence, choose his own adventure.

“I think [the position] would be for Mitt Romney to decide … and I say that with reverence to his skills as a business person and having run the Olympics.

Gary Johnson and William Weld are big spending, liberal career politicians.

They have never been libertarians.

The only purpose of their campaign is to help get Clinton elected.

Now it turns out Romney has a role in their campaign.

Hopefully that gungrabbing commie will pull some off the gungrabbing commie vote away from Hillary. If I was a gungrabbing commie, I would be looking for a candidate with less demonstrated corruption and fewer ties to radical Islam.

This guy is NOT a libertarian.

I don’t care WHAT he calls himself, but libertarians believe in small government above all and they absolutely distrust progressives, statists and insiders. Romney is disqualified on both counts.

Stephen Hawking has a better chance of breaking the world bench press record than Gary Johnson and Bill “rifles are WMD’s” Weld do of occupying the Oval Office.

I keep reading about how the GOP Establishment is taking over the Libertarian Party. This helps that story line a little bit.

Johnson is just a RINO troll he is being paid to spoil and split votes. A pathetic loser for pathetic losers.

So, then, this alleged “Libertarian” is no all-in for gun control and the continuation of Obamacare.

GOOD! This let the mask slip off, and reveal who is REALLY running the Libertarian Party these days - the Uniparty, Republicrat Wing.

Any supposed conservative or REAL libertarian who votes for this party in this election is a disgrace. This party is, at least in this election, no more than a bought and paid for arm of the Clinton campaign.

Someone wants the Romney endorsement. Anyone care if Romney leaves? Anyone? No?

And THAT is supposed to get more people to vote librarian (er, libertarian) this election?

More evidence that this third party is deliberately pulling a Perot this year.

Well, Myth is a “severe conservative”, according to him and National Review and Weekly Standard and Erick Erickson. That’s sort of close to a Bill Weld libertarian, right?

You just know Gary Johnson sucks when even some Cruz Never Trump supporters, lead by Dana Loesch, cannot get behind him because of his various anti-liberty stances. Dana even tweeted that Johnson is worse than she had expected on 2nd amendment issues after interviewing him and sounds like Obama
