Does America Need A Stiff Johnson?

Here we go: the neoconservative attacks on Gary Johnson begin

In late May, Bill Kristol at last unveiled his vaunted alternative to Donald Trump: Governor Senator Town Selectman National Review writer David French. It was such a pitiful choice that French himself ultimately aborted it by announcing less than a week later that he wasn’t running. Since then, Kristol has been flailing around, searching for a white knight who will rescue him from Clintrump.

Which raises the question: why doesn’t he just vote for Gary Johnson? Johnson is a successful Republican governor in a blue state who reduced the size of government and eats with a fork and knife. Yet most (though not all) neoconservatives have been mum on the subject of the Libertarian Party, rending their garments as though this year is an awful binary choice. Then, Johnson suddenly had the best week of his presidential campaign, scooping up an endorsement from Congressman Scott Rigell and winning a nod from the Commission on Presidential Debates, which is reportedly telling its venues to prepare for three podiums

Instead, the respectable choice—even for GOP heavyweights like Mitt Romney—is shaping up to be Gary Johnson, who rejects an aggressive foreign policy just as strongly (if not as bombastically) as Trump. Most neocons ignored Johnson for as long as they could, assuming he would fail to make the 15 percent cutoff and vanish from contention, but with the debate commission now looking like it might admit him, that’s no longer an option. It’s a terrible political position to be in, one that risks reducing right-wing hawks, accustomed to wielding serious power, to a negligible and quirky group of Acela Corridor eggheads. This year, even the gadfly rejects them.

A real problem for an Establishment to pick an anti-establishmet candidate.

Is this a case of rising antidisestablishmentarianism?

Antidisestablishmentarianism (Listeni/ˌæn.ti.dɪs.ɪs.tæb.lɪʃ.mənˈtɛə.rɪə.nɪ.zᵊm/, /ˌæn.taɪˌdɪs.ɛsˌtæb.lɪʃ.məntˈɛ.ri.ənˌɪ.zm/) is a political position that developed in 19th-century Britain in opposition to Liberal proposals for the disestablishment of the Church of England—meaning the removal of the Anglican Church's status as the state church of England, Ireland, and Wales. The establishment was maintained in England, but in Ireland the Church of Ireland (Anglican) was disestablished in 1871. In Wales, four Church of England dioceses were disestablished in 1920 and became the Church in Wales.

Gary Johnson is one more eunuch in a harem that needs a genuine stud. And Hillary is like THE ANTI-ROOSTER in the henhouse.
