Dear Bill Weld: Here are 5 Reasons Johnson is More Qualified than Clinton

5. Gary Johnson climbed Mt. Everest

I wouldn’t say that every presidential hopeful must be a mountain climber, but the fact that Johnson is tells us something about him: he has tremendous courage. Climbing the 29,000-foot ascent requires not only incredible physical fitness, but a large cache of bravery. 280 people have died trying to climb Mt. Everest over the past few decades.

Tremendous courage will come in handy when facing the onslaught of Washington lobbyists, two factious houses of congress, the leaders of a bloated and wasteful military, and a combative and ideologically compromised main stream press.

Clinton does not possess tremendous courage. She shirks away from press conferences and becomes angry when challenged. She hides behind gender politics and her husband’s legacy at the same time.

So, Governor Weld, as you get back out on the campaign trail, you might want to use a few of these talking points.
