When comparing candidates, I find it's best to compare them to where we are now and ask a simple question: Will this candidate support a smaller or larger government?
In the case of Clinton, Trump, and Stein, the answer is obviously larger. Johnson, while a literal mess on so many issues, does support a relatively smaller government.
So, while I may or may not vote for him, I do wish him well and hope he gains some traction. A third party choice is badly needed - even if it is milquetoast as this one.
As for the division of the liberty movement - this is the same thing I've seen my entire life except for a brief period where Ron Paul captured people's imagination. He had a way of "uniting the clans" so to speak. But for the most part, unfortunately, most of these people did not fully recognize his message. Liberty should unite people - not divide them.
