‘I hope you realize he’s doing this on purpose to elect the Democrat.’
Yes I believe that. The question is why? Johnson certainly has less in common with the Dem that the GOP candidate. Johnson seems to have become a strange and angrily crazy person after dealing with the painful and extended recovery from his paragliding accident. I suspect he still has a lot of residual pain and always will. He seems to be in a rage much of the time which is consistent with many chronic pain sufferers.
He's got more of a gripe with the social conservatives in the Republican Party, so he won't mind seeing a Democrat win.
Bill Weld, his running mate last time, is similar.
People who say "it's all about the money" have to deal with the fact that for some people cultural affiliations or social views are more important than their views on economics.
