o, The Wall Street Journal editorial board think the Gary Johnson/Bill Weld Libertarian ticket is an “honorable alternative" for the anti-Trump and anti-Clinton voters, but the only legitimate third party option this election year (regarding ballot access) may cater more to supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders than those who are staunchly Never Trump. The former New Mexico governor said that he agrees with Sanders 73 percent of the time.
Johnson admitted this on C-Span’s May 31 broadcast of Washington Journal, where Claudia calling on the Democratic line from Arkansas brought up Johnson’s past governing New Mexico as a member of the Republican Party. Johnson noted that he was always a libertarian Republican, but now a Libertarian presidential candidate.
Claudia suggested that Johnson should join forces with Sanders, or at least adopt much of his platform, since she says a lot of people want to see the disheveled self-described Democratic socialist become the Democratic nominee (which isn’t going to happen). She added that Johnson could “take home the prize” if this alliance were formed. The whole call was pretty much a show of support for a third party alternative, but this time it came from someone of the left. Johnson responded by telling Claudia to go to ISideWith.com and take a quiz to see whom she best matches up with concerning the remaining 2016 candidates. Johnson appears to have taken it since he knows that he pretty much aligns with the Sanders camp on a whole host of issues:

Well this is very hard for me to say something about since I don´t follow it.
