Washington (CNN)Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson and his running mate, Bill Weld, on Wednesday pledged a less polarized political process if they were elected.
"If either (Donald) Trump or (Hillary) Clinton are elected, things will be more polarized than ever," Johnson said at a CNN town hall, adding that his role was "calling out both sides."
The event, moderated by Anderson Cooper, comes as both major party conventions have wrapped up and Republican nominee Trump has become embroiled in yet another interparty fight -- this time over his criticism of the family of a slain US Muslim soldier.

Trump: 'A screw loose'
Johnson and Weld have never been shy about attacking Trump and the opening minutes of the town hall were no exception.
"He's a showman. He's a pied piper. He's the music man," Weld said of Trump. "More recently, it's gotten more serious and the noun that comes to my mind is 'a screw loose.' "http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/03/politics/gary-johnson-bill-weld-libertarian-town-hall/index.html
I would go further and argue Trump's supporters have a screw loos too.
