The Ultimate Fart

I am talking about the Libertarian Party and more specifically the brain farts Gary Johnson seems to be passing.

I am sure you are all aware of Mr. Johnson’s lack of foreign affairs knowledge by now. The mainstream media overall and Stephen Colbert this week have done a pretty good job of disseminating that information. And yes I know I am piling on.

It is a shame that such a great opportunity for a fringe party to attract a mainstream audience in this election has been squandered. I do not believe in much of their platform and I know some of their platform would like to get us out of many foreign entanglements, yet at some point you have to know what is the reality of the world stage. Basically he has turned this opportunity into one small noise that will drift into the atmosphere of political history like a whiff of gas passes us by then disappears.

And it goes back to one of my incessant points that we need new mainstream parties to make a difference in the future of our country.

One quick point about the Clintonians and Mr. Trump. Other than they are just as blind to her faults as Mr. Trump supporters are to his, they do not see that he has a good grasp of populist vocabulary or at least some type of modern populism. He will never implement it and even the few ideas he has come close to articulating will take a flood of election change in Congress to get passed.

I ask you: how many of you believe that Mr. Trump could walk into DC and get import tariffs on companies’ products that have taken jobs overseas and sell products back to us actually passed this current Congress? Those headquarters are still here hiring the same lobbyists. This is just one reason I see nothing Mr. Trump says will ever be or even truly attempted to be implemented. This just goes back to the gas problem mentioned previously.

 So Mr. Trump can speak the language of populism well, unfortunately none of his supporters realize it is all vocabulary. And none of the Clintonians realize how this verbiage plays well in Peoria.
