Gary Johnson hints at possible Jeb Bush endorsement
2016-07-21
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson hinted Wednesday that former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush might be considering an endorsement.

"I can't say that we haven't had conversations," Johnson said in a Wednesday afternoon conversation on CNN from Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone,
...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ...
. "But no push on the conversations."

Johnson said he has also had conversations with 2012 GOP nominee Willard Mitt Romney
...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals....
When asked who initiated the conversations, Johnson replied, "Not me." When asked if the former Florida governor has called him, Johnson added quickly, "I don't want to -- I want to protect the innocent."

#8  I generally like Gary Johnson but I don't see how a Jeb Bush endorsement helps anybody. it'll just draw attention to the fact that Jeb swore to support the Republican nominee and he's every so slightly better than those douchebags jumping on the Hillary train.

#7  A Jeb endorsement of Gary hardly sets my pubes alight.

#6  Remember when they all wanted Trump to sign a pledge to support the party candidate, so everyone signed. Just as the campaign has exposed so many that have little or no regard for democracy, it has also shown few with integrity as they now expose themselves as just another ego and power tripper.

#5  Thing is, the "Libertarian" candidates don't believe in liberty outside of pot. They've otherwise been approving everything Hillary says.

#4  If the Bushes believe in libertarianism they have a funny way of showing it over the last five years.
