The thing about Johnson is that if he actually wins he won't have any support in either the House or Senate. He will be there all on his own, and I doubt he'd be able to actually get anything passed that he wants. |
That was one of the major arguments made about Paul, but I don't necessarily think that's the case. If a majority of Americans elect a Libertarian like Johnson for president, that means they want that direction for the government. It would give Johnson a ton of support from both parties, because Democrats and Republicans would be too scared to block him for fear of losing their seats two years later. I think he'd have a lot more support than you realize.
