Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson seeks support from college students. Adam Schwartzman of the Student Free Press Association has the story:
“There’s an awareness right now that I’ve never seen in my lifetime across the country, and certainly in college campuses,” he said.
The Cato Institute and Tea Party activists are two other sources of support for Johnson, though he expressed reservations about the latter, calling them “a mixed bag.” To the extent that they prioritize economic issues, he agrees with them.
“Based on being about the check book and cutting spending and saving this country when it comes to financial collapse, I’m a Tea Partier,” he said.
Johnson is known for his stalwart advocacy of libertarian views similar to those of Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and is likely to run again.
“I would have endorsed him last go-round,” Johnson said.
Johnson isn’t concerned about running against a candidate with similar ideas. He is concerned about seeing these ideas grow within the Republican Party.
