He certainly has changed some of his positions from 4 years ago.

This year, Johnson seems to be doubling down on alienating social conservatives at a time when, more than ever, they might be inclined to give the Libertarian party a shot. Johnson has quite inexplicably rejected the notion of religious liberty protections, arguing that Christians who object should be forced to bake cakes and the like for gay weddings.
Thats not very libertarian is he.

If he actually supports this,

he has other issues such as Pro open borders, and Pro free trade

I can't vote for this guy.

Besides, personally,...

...I wouldn't want to eat or serve a cake that someone was FORCED to make for me!

Unless, of course, the person doing the forcing was served a larger slice than I!

This year there are no good choices.

I don't know if the smallish Conservative party has any candidates on the ballot. I suspect not considering that they endorsed Ted Cruz.

They did change a number of issues on their platform and found them to be mostly acceptable which is a surprise for me.

I may still support Johnson, in the hopes that he does well enough to make things easier for Austin Peterson in 2020. But I'm not as convinced like I once was.
