Weld is a gun grabber who doesn't understand the 2nd Amendment.
Johnson is different. Different is not bad. Alex Jones really has little standing in calling someone creepy.

That said, Weld is among the long list of politicians like Warren that are nothing more than opportunists. I understand Johnsons thinking but the pick was a big mistake.

I'd say the decision reflects badly on Johnson.

I still think Weld was a great pick. He's going to bring in money and endorsements like they have never seen. On top of that he still leans libertarian heavily, he was just wrong on a few issues, but he's been fairly consistent for most of his political career. All libertarians are pretty much outsiders, they need an insider and they got him.

I think Alex Jones is a nut job, I'd rather Johnson not go on his show at all.

I voted for Romney and trust his opinion.

Glad he's speaking up against this tyrant Trump.

As well as Meg Whitman (R).

Meg Whitman likens Donald Trump to Hitler, Mussolini - CNNPolitics.com

Well Romney doesn't want anything to do with Trump's "trickle-down racism." However, Republicans should not be surprised by Trump's racist behavior . Members of the party have been displaying it over the passed several decades. Trump has simply put it FRONT & CENTER.

I voted for Romeny three times, twice in the primaries and once in the generals.

That being said, he should shut his pie hole. He is a two-time loser and finished on the big stage.

They were pretty big issues.
