Summary
I have a lot of concerns about Hillary Clinton, and I am not going to support her. If the Libertarian ticket were reversed with Governor Bill Weld, former governor of Massachusetts, leading that ticket, then I would vote for the Libertarian ticket, because I know Bill Weld well and I respect him a great deal … I may well end up writing in a name for president, something I’ve never done before.
