The "Media Row" section of the RNC has been busy -- even more so with advocates who are competing with Republicans and the Trump message. Today was Gary Johnson's turn; he's the Libertarian Party candidate for President. Johnson is the former Governor of New Mexico; his running mate is former Massachussets Governor Bill Weld. They need to reach nearly 15% in the polls to secure a spot in the Presidential Debates.

It was a quick "media scrum" directly in front of 1590 WAKR's position in the CBS area of Media Row, in the Quicken Loans Arena East Garage. Johnson said he didn't buy the "Make America Great Again" slogan because he thinks America is already great, and the Libertarian Party has a more positive viewpoint to express to voters. Johnson said if he had to choose a word to describe Democrat Hillary Clinton it would be "beholden"; for Republican Donald Trump, he was more diplomatic and noted he was at the Republican National Convention and would just offer congratulations to Trump on securing the nomination.
