Was it really only this July when magician and professional bullshit-detector Penn Jillette told Nick Gillespie that “I will be supporting Gary Johnson all the way“? Which itself came just two months after the libertarian hero moderated a Libertarian Party presidential debate?
Why, yes it was. Which makes the headline confession here downright shocking: Penn Jillette admits to voting for Hillary Clinton, “who I do not agree with on anything”!
And yet in typically disarming and transparent fashion, on his great “Sunday School” broadcast, Jillette explains his conflicted self: He lives in super-contested Nevada, had a bunch of friends prevail upon him that Clinton “is not as apt to blow us to kingdom come with nuclear weapons as Trump” while reminding him “I have personal experience with Trump and don’t want him to be president,” and furthermore he was able to convince “about 11 or 12 people” in safely blue states like Massachusetts, New York, and California to vote for Johnson, thus inching the party closer to that all-important 5 percent threshold. Still, he volunteers, “I felt pretty shitty. It was not a joyous day.”
Bondurant ” . . . I’d bet most of those vote swappers will not uphold their end of the bargain. . . .”
Why so cynical?
Bondurant Again: ” . . . . . crucial error is the assumption that Hillary supporters are any more trustworthy than their candidate . . . .”
If you can’t see a stark and clear difference in dangerousness and preparedness between those two . . . more cynicism.
Bondurant> I’d bet most of those vote swappers will not uphold their end of the bargain.
That always has been a large factor in my never finding appeal in any swap system.
Well, it looks like somebody was stupid enough to follow Weld’s advice.
Jillette’s first and crucial error is the assumption that Hillary supporters are any more trustworthy than their candidate. I’d bet most of those vote swappers will not uphold their end of the bargain.
