You think Johnson isn't a career politician? He was a two-term governor and this is his second time running for president.
Actually, no, let me explain. As opposed to compromising some of his more "out of touch" positions, he sacrificed his chances to ever win on a national level by staying consistent with his values. In New Mexico, he was perhaps one of the most fiscally hawkish governors, something that should've cost him all of his popularity in a populist blue state. It just happened not to.
Compare this to Hillary who has spent her whole career in politics, not just in politics, but knees deep in the slimy shit and corruption. She compromises on what she calls her core values as often as Trump, and her track record simply doesn't compare to Johnsons.
Johnson may not be the most experienced or intelligent, but hes competent and has some good ideas. I'd vote for him.
