At the Democratic National Committee I ran into Gary Johnson, the former New Mexico governor and Libertarian Party nominee for president. Here's a transcript of our conversation, edited for clarity, and reorganized thematically.

sounds ‘presidential’ to me
Let’s make sure we associate this moron with Bernie supporters so if ANYTHING he takes away from Clinton and not Trump
(the sort of anti-perot)
Their idea of liberty is smoke dope, have sex with anyone, get abortion on demand, and not have to face any consequences of their actions, including any pesky guilt or scorn.
Why was Gary Johnson at the DNC?..........................
This guy sounds your run of the mill, can be bought politician of the Uniparty.
Religious freedom/Freedom of conscience is the cornerstone of liberty. Its strange that a libertarian would support using the heavy hand of government to abuse individuals who simply wish to not associate, endorse, or serve another.
+1
This crAzy dude seriously thinks it’s the job of the federal government to eliminate all discrimination AND he claims to be libertarian at the same time? Wow! Just wow!
Many (not all) of the Libertarians I've met in my life were either full-on Socialists or Libertines (anything goes with no consequences), not Libertarians. I've met relatively few true Libertarians.
Libertarians are now and have always been morons.
What is Gary Johnson going to do about someone who has a religious belief that they should put Gary Johnson in a cage and light him on fire. If you discriminate against them and stop their religious act are you opening a big hole?
i consider myself Libertarian on many issues, but Johnson and America’s organized libertarian party are often just bizarre to me.
For example, their continued emphasis on drug and marijauna freedom - its just stupid. They only need to say “let the states decide.”
Also, their push for open borders and gay marriage - again, they are actually “activist” and not libertarian, in my view. TRUE libertarians would let society, states and communities decide - without top-down activism, promotion or government incentivizing.
And Beck and Ericson are playing footsie with him (Weld is even worse)!
Are LIBERTARIANS just DEMOCRAT-lite?
So a Libertarian doesn’t recognize the right of people to refuse behaviors and attitudes they find offensive and immoral
Add one to the “Establishment” List
What a hypocrite. He conflates discrimination with shooting people and uses that as his basis to use governmental force to make people violate their religious beliefs and consciences. That is about as anti-libertarian as you can get. He isn’t just anti first amendment, his position is against the fundamental principles of the party he is really running as.
Gary Johnson also says that he would have NO restrictions on immigration.
Was he intoxicated during this interview, or does he always talk like this?
Maybe some face-to-face plotting with the Dems to take votes from the Pubs in November.
Meeting and scheming in person leaves no email trail...
In another interview Johnson stated he was for open borders, thought the court was right on gay marriage but said polygamy should be decided by the states. In a follow up he was unable to explain his reasoning.
