Drew Carey Wants Libertarian Gary Johnson As President
The Daily Beast ^ | 07.24.16 1:29 AM ET | Matt Wilstein

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson went all-out Hollywood on Saturday night with a fundraiser at Drew Carey’s house.

Even the invitation for the Drew Carey-hosted fundraiser for Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson was a bit unconventional. The dress code was listed as “Libertarian Comfortable, i.e., whatever you’re comfy in,” and there were plenty of jeans and sneakers on display. While the host did offer complimentary valet parking, he suggested that “Uber-ing” might be easier.

Guests began to assemble around 5 p.m. Saturday evening, the sky prematurely darkening not with the threat of rain but from nearby wildfires that created a haze overhead. “I looked at the sky today and thought, ‘Trump’s about to give a speech,’” Carey joked in an interview with The Daily Beast before the event got underway. “I don’t know what America he’s living in,” he added of Trump, “but he’s crazy.” When Johnson addressed the crowd later, he echoed Carey’s sentiments by asking, “What country is he talking about?”

The former New Mexico governor arrived early, wandering into the backyard wearing jeans, Nike sneakers, a seersucker jacket and a white t-shirt that appeared to have a food truck on it. He told us that Carey is one of several celebrities who have expressed their support for him, even if many are not yet willing to do so publicly.

Scott Adams has endorsed Hillary Clinton for his safety and says such on his blog. And he says his speaking fees essentially dried up after he started writing about Trump’s great persuasive technique - not supporting Trump, but anything positive about Trump was considered unacceptable.
If Drew Carey really can’t stand Hillary, saying libertarian is all he could say and keep his work.

As much chance as winning $50,000 three times in a row on Plinko.

What a self-important pud! It tickles me that actors and actresses actually think that their take on life is important to share with the rest of us, Not!

Well, I want Drew Carey’s house and bank account. More likely to happen than Burnie being elected.

Johnson takes more votes from Hillary than Trump.

No worries.

From the look on Gary's face, I think you're right!

The main speaker wore seersucker.

I did not even think they made that anymore. Pretty sure they haven’t for awhile.

Nah. Glenn Beck wants Ted Cruz. In fact, he’s already
sworn him in; didn’t you hear?
