Libertarian Candidate Johnson Blasts Trump Comments

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson is denouncing lewd comments made by Donald Trump, saying the remarks disqualify him from being president. Johnson told reporters before a scheduled rally in Albuquerque on Saturday that he has never used language like that to describe women in his entire life. The former New Mexico governor says that Trump has said around 150 things that should have ended his campaign but "maybe this is the one that puts him over the top." Johnson told The Associated Press that he and vice-presidential nominee Bill Weld are "an honorable alternative" to Republicans who can no longer support Trump. Polls show Johnson has the highest percentage of support in his home state. Campaign representatives say he could win the state's five electoral votes.
