A vastly overrated me-too Republican.

Major FF! Makes it much easier for me to stomach voting for Johnson if Hillary does something truly unacceptable  (i.e. picking Warren or Sherrod Brown for VP)

I agree, but still a FF and less annoying than, say, Christine Todd Whitman or Olympia Snowe.

I kind of like Weld - he's obviously not pandering to the wacky libertarians. I'm beyond his brand of politics obviously but I still think he's an honest guy who has genuine beliefs. He was also a fairly good Governor of Massachusetts.

FF.

It's kind of funny how he resigned in order to become Ambassador to Mexico, just to get his nomination killed by Jesse Helms.

Slight FF. Decent man, decent governor but out of touch with reality and a bad choice for LP VP.

Weld and Johnson are caricatures of the tone-deaf 'socially liberal, fiscally conservative!' types who are rightly mocked on this forum and elsewhere.

Well they can't be that successful, given that their 'champions' are running on the Libertarian ballot line.

Was referring to class/affluence, making fun of some of our "conservatives" here who have recently taken a page out of Ralph Nader's playbook and started to bitterly demonize "elites," an activity I believe to be antithetical to conservatism.
