A lot of people have asked me who I will vote for in November. I will tell you right now I would not vote for Hillary Clinton.

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, is a possibility. I have voted Libertarian for the president in the past. He’s a guy who has been on my show, I like him a lot. I think he would be a great president but he doesn’t have a chance either. A third party Libertarian candidate has no shot.

Then it comes down to: are things going to be competitive in Washington state? If they’re not, if Hillary is 60-40 or more then Johnson probably has my vote. If I thought it was going to be close in our state, I still think Trump would be better than Hillary. And that’s not saying much about Hillary because I think Trump doesn’t have much depth.

But there’s a part of me that is still fascinated by a non-politician as president because I have become so cynical of politicians.
