Those Never Trump Folks

Not a great speaker, but as of today he likely will get my vote. I know people say this is throwing away your vote. But this is the perfect year to do that. We have a year where the Dem make me want to throw up, and the Republican makes me want to barf.
 
Actually, this will be the first election Libertarians will pull more from Democratic voters than Republican voters. More and more liberals are starting to realize their party is not about individual civil liberties any more, but special interest group rights.

What about the Republicans that don't like Trump. Who are they going to vote for?
BTW, a State of the Union speech with Trump would be amazing. Need to make Boehner speaker again if he gets elected

Oh, Johnson will pull from them as well, even more than in prior years.

Traditionally it's 3:1 registered Republicans : Democrats vote Libertarian. That's no longer the case. 2016 might be the first time it's more Democratic voters.

Many believe the Clintons will only destroy more civil liberties.

I honestly don't know Trump's policies, just that he's not the media's version. But traditionally he's been a Clintonesque Progressive, domestically -- including Pro-Eminent Domain, and non-interference Libertarian foreign policy.
 
This will be a banner year for the libertarian movement, they have to be thrilled at what has happened in the GOP
And the DNC. There are a lot of Democractic voters that are honestly scared of their own party on civil liberties after this administration, and even late during the W. administration.

They haven't forgotten they also threw a reporter in jail, and in the end, they didn't even get the right guy. I.e., Armitage admitted he was the leak, not Libby, and it finally brought the whole issue to a close (Libby was only found guilty of lying to a grand jury, like Clinton, never leaking any name).

Then add in the AP tapping and other moves that have chilled anonymous sources, plus the "moral authority" argument on drones (fearing what another President might do), the Gitmo non-sense (now arguing for endless detainment, just not at Gitmo), and lobbyists only getting more money ... with Clinton being an even bigger, special interest mover than the President.

It's going to be interesting for Johnson, and even more interesting to see if registered Democratic voters feel Libertarians are their solution as much as Republicans.
