He did an interview on The New Yorker Radio Hour.

He started off pleasantly enough, but it gradually became clear that he seemed to have no specific ideas, no particular intellect, nothing impressive in his background, nothing articulate about his conversation, no cultural interests, and no sense of humor. He also surprisingly lost his temper on the subject of guns.

It is very hard to get past his personality and affect. He looks and sounds like a limp-wristed clown. But his track record shows he's able to work with both sides of the aisle and that's exactly what this country needs. He feels Congress should play a major role in establishing law and not the POTUS through executive orders. 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.

I'm just going to call BS on the majority of your post and assume you went in wanting to be negative, the highlighted reason alone pretty much gives that bias away.

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.

He seems like a bit of a tool.
I'll pass.

I like the fact that both he and his running mate (GOV Weld) were able to win elections in states predominantly run by the opposing party. Both Johson and Weld were Republicans in VERY DEMOCRAT states and were successful at being Governors.

I'll take clowns over dangerous, lying psychopaths like Trump and Clinton any day, thanks for pointing out that very significant difference.
