He also surprisingly lost his temper on the subject of guns.

I saw him being interview a week or do ago.

What a looser goofball!

You live in Florida,which is actually competitive,so it 'could' help Trump if you vote Johnson.I guess you'll just need to embrace the philosophy of 'WWMRD', [What would Mitt Romney do?],in all your political decisions.

Perhaps you could run Romneys 'Republicans for Hillary' campaign in Florida.

Typical of hyperbole from the folks who are realizing they don't have a candidate strong enough to beat one of the most corrupt candidates ever. Not shocking, but definitely sad and scary on many accounts. Too bad the Republicans couldn't have nominated someone even marginally passable, Hillary would have been steamrolled.

Johnson and Weld were pretty much RINOs who got elected as governor in typical Liberal leaning states. With john sons wish to have wide open borders for illegals, I believe he will draw more votes away from the Democratic side than he will from the Republican side, which is opposite from past elections where the Libertarians had any traction.

I welcome his participation. But I won't vote for him.

Like most other people you wildly misstate Johnson's intent with regards to immigration.

I'm afraid that Johnson will not be able to overcome people who either will not take the time to understand what he is saying, or purposely misstate it in order to promote their own candidate.
However, the polls show that you are correct about one thing; Johnson takes more votes from Hillary than Trump. Trump voters are adamant about their wall.

I was concerned about his beliefs about marijuana and prostitution in society, but that's not a show stopper. I believe he did very well with his state's budget, maybe even balancing his budget, if I'm not mistaken.
He resigned as CEO of a pot company in January so he could run for president, used pot in May but promised not to do it anymore while he's running and during his tenure as president should he become elected:

I've watched interviews with both him and Stein recently. No.

Just no.

You don't find it at ALL impressive that he started a handyman business that he eventually grew to one of the biggest in the state of New Mexico with over 1,000 employees and then sold it for $10M? Politics aside, if thats not impressive, I don't know what to tell you.
No, sorry, I don't.

Where did Americans get the funny idea that a successful businessman is automatically qualified to run a First World country? In fact, an argument could be made that a businessman mentality is exactly the opposite of what a presidential mentality should be.

As for BucFan, I find it hard to believe he'd word work with both sides if he can't even keep a rein on his temper for a 20-minute interview.

I've been entertaining it for a while but after an interview with the military times yesterday, I'm seriously thinking about not voting for him. While I know the military has some wasteful spending, they still continue to cut programs for the members and their families. He's wanting to do another round of BRAC and also continue to cut military personnel.
