Unlike many Johnson supporters, Cochron, 35, does not consider himself to be completely anti-war.

In a four-way match-up, 26 percent of millennial voters support Trump, compared to 31 percent for Clinton.
Among female voters polled, 38 percent said they would vote for Clinton while 27 percent voiced their support for Trump. Think whatever you will of Hillary Clinton, there’s no one in America who thinks she couldn’t wake up from a dead sleep at 4 a.m. and not effortlessly rattle off the names of 20 foreign leaders she admired.
Trump also thinks we should bomb countries and take their oil. He responded, “I guess I am having an Aleppo moment” as he tried to recall the name of a former president of Mexico he cited.
Former Governor Gary Johnson, L – New Mexico, discusses his view that knowledge of foreign countries leads to a greater risk of getting involved in conflicts overseas. On Saturday, he said that wasn’t so much because he didn’t know world leaders as it was him not thinking any world leaders were all that worthy of admiration.
“What is it, five days now since the “name your favorite foreign leader” – I still can’t do that”, Johnson said. While the political right is certainly making gains across the world – most memorably in England with the successful Brexit referendum – no other movement represents gains for right-libertarianism as much as they do for right-wing populism.

Twenty-nine percent of those polled said they are supporting Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson; 15 percent said they are planning to vote for Green Party candidate Jill Stein. Maher grants that Johnson is a good guy, but he’s afraid that apart from being against dumb wars, the surveillance state, and the war on drugs, Johnson will cost Hillary Clinton the election. Driving through the county I’ve noticed that many people don’t know who he is. President Barack Obama (D-IL) won the popular vote in 26 states and the District of Columbia (denoted in blue) to capture 332 electoral votes.
He also spoke on the topic of legalization of marijuana. “We are a nation of immigrants”, he said. And the prospect of a guy like Johnson taking a quarter or even 15 percent of the vote certainly adds a variable in a state that had been a pretty safe Democratic hold in recent years.

“I like a lot of what [Stein] says about civil liberties, I like what she says on foreign policy”. I’m sure that if Chris Matthews asked him the same question, the only name he’d come up with while the clock was ticking would be Vladimir Putin’s.
