His own close family have only a nodding familiarity. This makes an important point. Gary Johnson does not go around making crazy comments, so… the news people don’t cover him. Trump gets that. News coverage is free exposure. What if… we find out Trump really is crazy (it isn’t just an act) and that Hillary really is a criminal (Guccifer is found to be telling the truth.) Then in about August, Americans recognize what a deplorable choice faces them. Johnson steps out of the shadows with the obvious message: Americans, don’t do it. Vote libertarian. This is the one crazy weird oddball time in our lifetimes, when it just might work.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'>spike<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
