The election was between the current Democratic President Jimmy Carter and the governor of California, and former movie star, Ronald Reagan. And the race to the Whitehouse would be filled with lots of talking but little debating, ending in one of the lowest voter turnouts in history, but one of the largest margins of victory in the electoral college.

Very rarely do third party candidates poll more than 10 percent but Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, is doing just that (Russonello). The Libertarian party as a whole has seen a recent rise in recent elections with Gary Johnson being the first third party candidate to be on the ballot in all 50 states in 20 years (Tau). Despite the general public confusion on them their ideology is quite simple. The general idea is that Libertarians are fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

He faced three important opponents for this nomination—Senator Robert Dole, Pat Robertson, and Representative Jack Kemp. Bush expressed his service as vice president in the Reagan administration, his government experiences, and his commitment to progression. Bush lost badly, finishing third over Kemp yet behind Dole and Robertson. After losing, Bush came back strong and hit his opponents hard in running once more for the campaign. Clinching the nomination for his second run, Bush began to consider his choice for vice president. After a while, he chose Dan Quayle, the junior senator from Indiana.

As the air becomes crisp and leaves begin to change their color, every American knows November 8th will be soon upon them. Americans are given the daunting opportunity to change their lives and the lives of three hundred million others. Most of age voters will flock to the polls to elect who they believe, is the most capable candidate, and therefore leader, to run the United States of America. The next president needs to be the quintessential and iconic figure of leadership. The two front runners are Donald Trump representing the republican party, and Hillary Clinton of the democratic party, who both continue to battle it out and push their political agendas aggressively to earn the vote of the public. However, there is a third political party which is on the rise, that combines the ideas of both mainstream parties but in the process reshapes and defines them. Gary Johnson of the libertarian party, is the candidate to do such a task. Libertarianism takes the fundamental “small government” idea from republicans and combines it with the more liberal stances from the democrats, such as abortion, women’s rights, freedom of choice, and individual judgement.
