President Johnson III, The Only Honest Option

It's Friday, Friends,

Another poll this morning corroborates that Hillary Clinton has squandered her convention bounce, and the presidential race is in a dead heat.

The Los Angeles Times shows Hillary with a mere one-point lead in the general election. This confirms yesterday's Rasmussen Reports poll results that also indicated a statistical dead heat.

The American public is facing an impossible binary choice between a narcissistic lying psychopath and a smooth lying manipulator. You can determine who's who.

If there ever was a situation you could call deep doo doo, this is it.

My 21-year-old son asked me a couple of days ago why we are so dead set on just two parties in this country.

You know what? The only thing I could come up with was that people are creatures of habit, and change is uncomfortable.

And when big groups of people get together, they can raise YUGE amounts of money. The money serves to sustain the status quo.

But if ever there was a reason to break a bad habit, it's now. And there is an option--a refreshingly honest one.

I've never heard a politician answer reporters' questions more directly, openly or honestly as former two-term Republican governor of New Mexico and Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson does.

I hate writing serious captions, but I feel like I have to today. These two are asking for
individual contributions of $15 to help get them to 15% in the polls.
If you love this country, find the money.

He and his running mate, former two-term GOP governor of Massachusetts Bill Weld, believe in smaller government and liberal social policy. I'm for that.

But Johnson's quite open that he and Weld must achieve 15% support in an average of five national polls,or they won't be on the debate stage with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

If they can't achieve that modest goal, their candidacy is over.

How many pols would tell you that?

Ask Gary Johnson a question and he gives you a straight answer. In fact, he's known in New Mexico as 'Honest Gary', and that reputation is starting to gain some national traction.

Interestingly, Bill Weld became the unexpected popular Republican governor of very blue Massachusetts by standing up to a bully--Democratic demagogue John Silber, who was an awful lot like Donald Trump.

There are only 88 days until the general election, and time is precious.

Johnson and Weld have been mired in the polls at between eight and nine percent for the past several days, with no clear movement upward.

They are trying to raise the money needed to propel them to 15% by soliciting individual contributions of $15 in a  '#15 for 15' fundraising campaign.

The big question is, can they move the needle enough to make our only honest option a genuine one?
