Meanwhile There Are Libertarian Debates Going On

KOB –

Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, who is again running for the Libertarian nomination for president in 2016, took a vulgar shot at Republican frontrunner Donald Trump at Saturday’s Libertarian Party Debate in Mississippi.

Johnson – at center – at the Libertarian Party debate on Saturday.
“I’ve climbed the seven summits – the highest mountain on each continent. Donald Trump’s a 
p—-,” Johnson told the audience, receiving a “hear, hear” from fellow Libertarian candidate John McAfee and laughter from others.

“If Donald Trump’s the nominee, and Hillary [Clinton] is the nominee – if that isn’t an opportunity for the Libertarian Party, I don’t know what is,” he said.

Johnson is a favorite in Libertarian circles.

He ran for president on the Libertarian ticket in 2012 after he originally launched his campaign as a Republican. He was named the official Libertarian presidential nominee and eventually received just under 1 percent of the popular vote in the general election.

The 1.2 million votes he got was the most successful third-party presidential campaign since 2000 and best in the Libertarian Party’s history.

He received 3.55 percent of the popular vote here in New Mexico.

    What’s the difference between Trump and Johnson? One has greater than a snowball’s chance in hell of being elected President while the other does not.

    A multi-billion dollar question if I ever saw one.
