They quit. Well, maybe.
A story on Occupy Democrats seem to point to Johnson/Weld throwing in the towel. The story refers to an interview on CNN where Johnson admits that “I guess I wasn’t meant to be President.” Then there is an article from Weld in the Boston Globe where he spells out that rather than focus on getting Johnson elected he’s going to do everything possible to defeat Trump.
Putting it all together with Johnson’s horrible gaffes and Weld’s admission that Hillary is more than qualified to be President and it looks like the Libertarian party is getting out of the presidential race this year. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
Update: Thanks to chancew who points out this might be a big, fat nothing burger. Apparently Weld is saying the story at the Globe isn’t true. If you’re willing to wade into the sludge you can head to the Libertarian site Reason and read what he claims. Personally I find it unlikely the Globe made up the story out of thin air but who knows in this election cycle?
