Watch the above video and see a quick breakdown of last night’s libertarian town hall event hosted by CNN.
The former New Mexican Governer Gary Johnson and his running mate William Weld, the former governor Massachusetts, answered questions from CNN’s Anderson Cooper, as well as the audience.
Gary Johnson is starting to get a lot of press as an alternative to both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as his views tend to place him to the center of each politically. His platform is one of tough fiscal conservatism, of which both of the men have a proven track record , and liberal social values.
However, this will be a very tough sell to either party, despite the record number of voters who are turned off by their party’s candidate. Many of the Republicans and Democrats that Johnson is trying to appeal too are single issue voters who are opposed to one or more of his ideas.
At any rate, none of that will matter if they are unable to achieve the 15% in the polls needed to participate in the first presidential debate next month. Johnson and Weld are confident that they can reach the needed amount of support before then. However, if they can’t then they are unlikely to maintain any sort of momentum headed into November.
Will the Libertarian party pull the ultimate upset and win the White House? Or, will they just spoil the chances for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, let us know what you think.
