lass=”” >Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson is gaining momentum in the polls as American voters seek alternatives to the current frontrunners, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. “People are hungry to vote for somebody as opposed to the lesser of two evils and wasting your vote,” he told Kitco News at this year’s Freedom Fest. Johnson also commented on gold and the idea of a gold standard, which he says wouldn’t be a bad idea. “I would love to have commodity-based currency so I would support legislation to have competing currency,” he told Daniela Cambone. “Obviously it’s very complicated but I would like to have a segment of my assets in a commodity-based currency.”
