I would’ve voted for Johnson if I was registered in California, but my second choice would’ve been Mr. Trump. Reason #1: He’s not Hillary. I would’ve loved to have seen Margaret Chase Smith take the Republican nomination at the Cow Palace in 1964.

“I think Trump being elected as president is — among other things that people don’t talk about — is a knock, a huge knock, against globalization and neo-liberalism, which, some would argue is just as evil, if not more, than Trump.

[Huge laugh] “Oh my god, this is the worst thing that has happened to this country, it’s a disgrace of what we stand for, or at least what I thought we stand for. At first I thought, “Maybe I should move back to Mexico, but I think with working here at Jammin’ and what we stand for? We’re still gonna spread the rainbows, the sparkles and the love.”
