RantCrush Top 5: August 4, 2016

Wait…you’re telling me there’s a third candidate? Gary Johnson and running mate Bill Weld had a town hall last night, hosted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper. I’ll tell you, these are the most laid back, chill guys you’ll ever meet. Talk about wanting to have a beer with the president! It could be that they’re getting attention now because the rest of the election is a mess or because they give off major, major Ron Swanson vibes. But they’re appealing to Democrats and Republicans on many issues:

It’s like we hit the refresh button on the elections a little bit and people are starting to get pumped about a Gary Johnson candidacy.

If Johnson and Weld could get a few more percentage points, then they could make it into the debates. That’d be fun. #LibTownHall

It’s like an episode of Real World where someone goes home and a new contestant comes in, maybe to shake up the game a little.

I do find their honesty refreshing. Admitting that you “might be wrong” is something we don’t see nearly enough of in politics #LibTownHall

I may disagree with them on some things, but Johnson and Weld are extremely decent people. #LibTownHall

I must say “Johnson and Weld” ticket sounds like a very reliable home improvement store. You can watch the full town hall here.
