The Independent Party of Oregon is asking its members to participate in a party-administered presidential primary. Names on the ballot will be Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and "None of the Above." This primary is binding.
That's not just true for the major party candidates. The Libertarian and Green party candidates have also weighed in, lending their support to the decision.
Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson has something to say to all Americans: when it comes to civil liberties, immigration, foreign policy, trade, and a host of other issues, the Republican and Democratic Parties have both lost their minds. He's not very good at saying it, mind you.
Opposition to Donald Trump among Republicans and distaste for Hillary Clinton among Bernie Sanders supporters could create an opportunity for the Libertarian Party, the only third-party with general election ballot access in all 50 states. On Tuesday, Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico, and his running mate, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, made their case at a CNN town hall hosted by Chris Cuomo.
Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson took to CNN Wednesday night to explain what the libertarian party is all about. Johnson says he wants to legalize marijuana, embrace gay rights and scale back U.S. military presence in other countries.
The Libertarian presidential candidate, former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, and his running mate, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, will face voters Wednesday evening in a town hall live on CNN. The 9 p.m. event moderated by CNN's Chris Cuomo marks one of the highest-profile moments in the Libertarian Party's history, thanks to Donald Trump, whose victory in the GOP presidential primary has some conservatives and moderates alike looking elsewhere for an alternative to both Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton has an 8 point lead over Donald Trump among likely voters in November, according to a new poll out Monday. The presumptive Democratic nominee leads her GOP counterpart 49% to 41% among likely voters and 47% to 41% among registered voters.
One of my loyal readers suggested that I write about viable third party candidates this year, especially the Libertarian Party ticket of Gary Johnson and William Weld. This reader literally read my mind because I had intended that column for this week, so let's "brunch" on that that: "That's the Ticket" Former Governor Gary Johnson and former Governor William Weld are formidable Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees for the Libertarian Party.
Unless there is a major change in the way national superdelegates vote, Hillary Clinton has all but assured herself a place as the Democratic Party's nominee when the general election comes in November. On Saturday, Iowa Democrats gathered in Des Moines for their convention with one goal in mind: Unify the party under Hillary Clinton.
Libertarian presidential hopeful Gary Johnson is sticking up for marijuana after 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney last week said smoking the drug "makes people stupid." "I do not agree with that," Johnson told CNN's Erin Burnett in an interview scheduled to air Sunday on "OutFront."

David Cameron and George Osborne say they might not be able to protect spending on pensions, the NHS and defence if the UK votes to leave the EU. However the pro-Brexit campaign said the claim was "a frantic attempt to rescue a failing campaign".
Former Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney says it's breaking his heart to see what's happening in his party. He not only slammed Donald Trump at a GOP gathering in Utah this weekend, but he also gave a dressing-down to other presidential candidates who failed to stop him.
The Fox News poll also laid bare two of Trump's most significant, basic weaknesses: Voters don't think he has the knowledge or temperament to be president. The poll findings are striking: Nearly six-in-10 voters surveyed said Trump doesn't have "the knowledge to serve effectively as president."
Mitt Romney suggested Friday that Donald Trump's election could legitimize racism and misogyny, ushering in a change in the moral fabric of American society. The 2012 Republican nominee, who has openly opposed Trump's candidacy, went further than he has before in outlining to CNN's Wolf Blitzer how the country's character would suffer in a Trump White House.
"With an electorate totally disenchanted with the two major parties' offerings, Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson has a unique chance to make a splash this year - and he's determined to do things differently than in his 2012 campaign. "Gone are the low-yield interviews with "internet radio" shows, and Mr. Johnson also says he'll probably skip out on trolling the Democratic and Republican conventions.
With Bernie out, Sanders supporters are desperately looking to find a candidate worth their vote. But with Hillary representing the crony politics they've come to hate, and Trump being so horrendously awful for many of the same reasons and more, what kind of candidate can the wayward Democrats get a firm grip on, and ride to the finish? As it turns out, Johnson is that choice.
The Libertarian Party's presidential nominee said in an interview early Sunday that he expects his candidacy will draw voters from both the Democratic and Republican parties. "I don't think I'm going to be a spoiler in this," Gary Johnson said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
