They ought to be in jail for these things . ” While it ’s understandable that a libertarian would n’t want to vote for a war hawk and crony capitalist like Clinton , Paul emphasized the importance of voting for Donald Trump instead of Gary Johnson . Paul said he signed a document giving his word that he ’d support the Republican nominee , and urgedcontact.commandorder.meetother voters to support the candidate they agree with the most , even if he ’s not their first choice .
