For Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, the money will roll right in from former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic.
"I just gave the maximum contribution to @GovGaryJohnson presidential campaign," Novoselic tweeted Tuesday. The maximum individual contribution permitted under federal law is $2,700.
According to public records, Novoselic previously donated to a series of predominantly Democratic candidates and organizations. He also gave to Virginia Libertarian congressional candidate William Redpath in 2010 and independent Pennsylvania candidate Nicholas Troiano in 2014. He also donated to Ron Paul in 2007 as the then-Texas congressman with libertarian leanings ramped up his bid for the Republican nomination.
Novoselic then tweeted a link to a blog post written last Thursday in which he laid out his thoughts on the landmark 2010 Citizens United case and the history of campaign finance law in general.
"The best one can do to serve democracy is to understand and study issues," he wrote in the nearly 3,700-word treatise. "Don’t believe the hype about Citizens United. It was a good ruling that protected the right of people to hear informationwithout the government picking and choosing who could speak."

I'd like to see an over/under posted on what the Libertarians get this cycle. Johnson is routinely getting about 10% poll numbers, and that's without any real ink or campaigning, but simply because he is the best known non Hillary or Drumpf, because they are 2 horrifically bad candidates. If he is ever pulls 15% and is able to get on the debate stage with those 2, he will come off looking great.
Things I trust more than I trust Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump:
Mexican tap water.
Farting when I have diarrhea.
Having a drink offered by Bill Cosby.
Michael Jackson's doctor.
Prince's pharmacist.
Half-price gas station Sushi.
A Nazi plumber fixing my shower.
Prayers for peace from Al Sharpton.
Playing Russian Roulette with a semi-automatic pistol.
An investment email from a Nigerian prince.
A Ford Pinto with twenty extra jugs of gasoline in the back seat.
And finally - Bill Clinton at a Girl Scout convention.

funny stuff, I love that list
how about "Obama telling me I could keep my health insurance if I like it"?
He is getting a lot of media coverage for a libertarian.
Not the best communicator unfortunately. Every interview he does is more of an introductory interview with the same generic question like "What are libertarians?"
Never really allowed to get into specific examples as to what he would do.

This is the interview you've been looking for then. It gets into a lot of things. It's long but if you got the time listen to it. i listened to it today while doing laundry. Plus Penn Jillette has a way of keeping things entertaining all the while getting into depth. By far my favorite interview of Gary so far. The stories of some of the things he did as Governor are pretty awesome.
