The Honorable Alternative

In the extraordinary election of 2016, "regular" Republicans and normal conservatives have found themselves looking for a lifeboat option -- an alternative to two major-party candidates who don't reflect their values. In a rare event, a third party (the Libertarian Party) has nominated a ticket of two highly qualified former state governors, Gary Johnson and William Weld, both of whom served as Republicans. This extraordinary turn of events has created an honorable alternative for mainstream conservatives as well as moderates who are looking for something better than what the major parties have served up.
