Beating a dead horse in my absence. I wrote it thinking you voted for trump. I don't want to open a can of worms, but I also believe today's variety of "independent " is not the college age philosophy student of yore.
A good great many with whom I am passing familiar drive around in beater trucks, are 70 years old, white, rural and have "don't tread on me" stickers on the tailgate. There is a big Tea Bagger overlay and yes, some racists in that bag of nuts.
What I know of Gary is what I learned late in his campaign, and that is that he is a dolt and had to be saved on a few occasions by his running mate who apparently was not so dim, named Weld, I believe was his name. To me it was
worth a chuckle because the appeal to many of that "independent" label was that it staked out some intellectual ground and escaped the "idiot" perception that dogs Republicans. So to learn Gary Johnson was as intellectually vacant as W was pretty funny.
