Джонсон - либертарианец. Так же как скажем Rand Paul. У него формулировка - fiscally conservative, socially inclusive. Хорошее словечко - inclusive. В переводе на понятный язык, это означает что каждый должен стараться строить свою жизнь сам, не надеясь что государство ему поможет. Ничего общего с демагогией демократов.
If Donald Trump nominates John Bolton or some other regime-change preaching hyper-hawk to a top State Department post, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul will have a word for the president-elect and his pick: “No.”
Asked on ABC’s This Week about how he would respond to Trump’s selection of the former ambassador to the United Nations to serve as the number-two authority in the State Department, the Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee declared himself to be “an automatic no on Bolton”—arguing that “he should get nowhere close to the State Department.”
The 2016 Republican presidential contender is unwilling to defer to the president-elect when it comes to nominations that could define how the United States responds to questions of war and peace.

Paul’s critique extends beyond the potential Bolton nomination. The Kentuckian says he is “going to reserve judgment” on Rex Tillerson, the CEO of ExxonMobil, who is coming to be seen as Trump’s most likely pick for secretary of state. But Paul promised in the ABC interview that he would as a Foreign Relations Committee member press Tillerson on questions of war and peace, military adventurism, and regime change. “I’ll ask him the same question I’ve asked the others: Do you understand the historic lesson that the Iraq war was a failure, a strategic mistake?” the senator said.
