Third Party Candidates

Monday night’s debate was the most watched in U.S. history. The nominees of the two major political parties took to the stage to duke it out in an iconic battle of words. But Hillary and Donald are not the only ones running for president. What about the third-party Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson? Do people even know who Gary Johnson is? Does he really even matter in the scope of the election? For this article, I’d like to find that out.

Joseph Re is a recent high school graduate who is known in a small town of Trump supporters as an avid Johnson advocate. He believes Johnson is the most honest of all the candidates, and is the best man for the job of president of the United States. I’d like to profile Joseph and probe him in order to find out what attracts people to third-party candidates, and what makes their support significant. This article will really question the value of a vote, and the value in voting for someone in whom you really believe.
