Gary Johnson governor Johnson former governor of New Mexico I guess you're not surprised by the -- -- tonight are you.
-- -- -- I I just I guess I'm kind of surprised that early out cup I -- but who really want to drag on -- two.
No no surprise with regard yeah I just didn't think there was enough so the difference between enough.
Romney and Obama and and and that.
That comes when it comes to it just just about Atlantic command and they're needed to be more a distinction that what numbers and yourself.
You know I think we're gonna break all I -- libertarian records for.
A lower percentage in overall number but I really thought that we would we would've done better ourselves I think that China.
Because this election was -- -- closed and you know what I've heard it over and over and over again -- whatever.
Whatever you think you're gonna get that third party running for president of canola operate at -- -- didn't.
You know al-Qaeda is -- -- -- that -- it comes as a surprise to me that there really.
Is what transpired.
I guess because of the whole notion about.
You know -- You -- dole wasted vote phenomenon you know I think there are a lot.
Of technical.
Actually think everybody voted for Obama Ronnie was a wasted a lot of technical -- That's the case didn't fit and -- tonight.
Mainly you knew you you you're not gonna win but how do you feel being.
Like one -- the only other candidates on what you -- 48 states right.
There are enough 488.
And the District of Columbia and her right -- and in Michigan and then we're gonna get.
Well unacceptable million -- -- -- -- at the end of the day about.
It what do you want to fight you -- -- 5% what how close do you come to that.
And over 1% at steps we're gonna end up being that is -- discipline.
Yeah -- actually not just a little look pretty darn disappointing -- All I can chalk it up to rid just how close election -- and how that -- beating overweight that boat trip.
Every vote -- account and not.
And the fact that I get counted because -- not been aware.
So -- -- -- so close you would have them do you would have done better.
I'll catch you know what -- -- -- a stop for brought and they're offering up.
Projection -- -- not just so far -- all in and beat.
Now now what.
What do you think it means politically for the country that -- did Obama win.
But in the senate -- had where Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts you had.
And it -- can lost in Missouri ahead and Richard Murdoch lost in Indiana.
Some of the -- that's -- -- -- lost for the Republican Party your former Republican candidate for president what do you think it means for the party.
The Republican.
Well what what I think -- what I think it -- -- have been saying mr.
out I think the majority of Americans are fully responsible.
And socially -- and I think there'd be a Republican.
Really don't -- going when it comes to dollars and cents and they really don't have it going when it comes up such social -- -- that.
And when you when you wouldn't you combine those two the Republican Party it's just not all that appealing to the majority of America.
And -- think -- wise enough to make some changes and you left the party basically because -- you -- given a fair shake.
Do you see that party changing or do you think maybe more people move over to libertarian is a more or some other third party is -- -- -- for third parties to make a difference.
Well that that's always been my -- always been my belief but like that I I would like to a spot -- you know I I think that's perpetrated or regardless of where that boat ended up on election night that what I would witnessing with a huge amount of momentum.
Out what I'm witnessing and what -- huge amount of momentum looks like get a -- a one per cent level.
-- art computers went down overlap.
What -- it because it.
Just the activity.
You know the interest that has been generated to catch everything has been doubling like Florida over the every three days and have been doubling -- Just.
More more expectation -- -- -- like what are you need to do now.
I'm gonna you have become not but I'm not sure yet but one other thing in my -- that make my -- work and bit do.
But that -- a really big part of my -- so.
In another month but it will be ultra fit -- And we -- the season on the campaign -- not work well yeah yeah.
-- but not ultra -- didn't like Dana -- that makes it feel really good enough.
66 year old ultra fit that athlete at the -- oxy moron.

I think world.
Why they were all really iron over that don't.
