Don't get me wrong, I knew the guy could make a deal, but a lot of these career politician types that make it into leadership positions are so far up their own asses about decorum I thought it might cause issues. I was clearly wrong about that, but back in 2016 that was my main concern with him.
As for the Libertarian thing I knew NY was going Hillary so I voted Johnson to try to increase the viability of a third party. Up the total percentage of the vote to hopefully get them a seat at the debates next time and all that.
