Gary Johnson Wins Libertarian Nomination!

The crab?

Johnson is the former marathon running pot smoking governor of NM. He was the exemplar for an absentee governor. Not a bad guy, but collected the paycheck and did essentially nothing. Let the state be run by Manny Aragon, speaker of the house and a Hispanic Boss Tweed. Originally Posted by Old-T

If the president does nothing, they default governing to the Congress and the Department heads. Is that an improvement?

Hunker down, bunker clown!

A vote for Gary is kind of like Nikki with her finger in her mouth...

Congress can't do much without a Presidential signature. And Johnson won in New Mexico twice, with large margins. Seems whatever he was doing or not doing was well liked.

So if you want a president & congress that does little to nothing, I assume you like the status quo (said with a dollop of sarcasm).

Lots of people have won elections with large numbers, but turned out to be pretty poor officials. Obama in 2008 for example was "well liked".

He was in the third tier debate, against Huckabee, Jindal and a dead crab. The crab won. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

He was in the last republican primary with the loser rino Mitt Romney.

a do nothing congress is probably better than a congress that does something.

that said, it really depends on the status quo.

actually, they can.

the president doesn't have to sign anything. bills become law without a signature in few days.
