I supported him in the last election, but not this time around. He’s just not that good of a public speaker, and as Denninger pointed out, has problems with his actual actions not matching the libertarian ideas he espouses. May as well support Rand, who has a better chance than Gary.

WTF? Vote for someone I never heard of before this and sounds like a hippie, not. As for being a Trump Lover, I don’t have to love somebody to vote for them: re Clinton vs Bush, Gore vs Bush, Kerry vs Bush, McCain vs Obama, Romney vs Obama etc. Given the two parties totally dominated by the Elite PTB, most working Americans that vote have to pick the least worse Oligarch puppet.

Voted for him last time since writing in RP doesn’t even get counted in my state. Don’t really believe in voting, at least on the national level. Probably won’t vote for anyone at all. Only reason I may vote is because they usually stick some kind of school tax hike “for the children” on the ballot, and I like to show up and vote against it, since thats about the only tax hike that might actually get defeated. GJ isn’t much of a libertarian, IMO

Trump is one of us.
The average working and taxpaying American.
He’s giving voice to all those things that we wish we could say and be listened to (and not charged with something or exorcised for saying it).
He’s one of us even if he does have lots of money and fancy suits, he even carries a gun with a CC permit and takes responsibility for his own safety instead of relying on the State for protection.
Same as I do.
So, yes, if he gets the nomination I will vote for him over either Hillary or Sanders in spite of my penchant for voting third party in protest of Republicans and Democrats.
But to be honest in what I think, if the election were held today I think Hillary would probably win. Not by much and mostly because of all the people who don’t vote because they insist it makes no absolutely difference if Hillary or Trump or Sanders or anyone else who might end up running wins.
So I really don’t expect my probable Trump vote to do much, I expect the current anti American leftist agenda to remain in place and at an accelerating pace.

Anon says “Trump is one of us”. Normally I just ignore any comment posted by an Anon, but really, this is just too funny to pass up!
For quite a few years now I have had a strict policy against voting for the lesser of the D/R evils. They’re all evil, so that means voting for evil. So I have mostly been voting for the libertarian because there’s no “none of the above” and the libertarian votes may actually show up in the results where not voting or writing in Mickey Mouse will not. If I continue this this year I will vote for Gary Johnson, not as a vote in favor of Gary Johnson but a vote against the D/R paradigm. If the D/R paradigm comes down to Trump vs Clinton I might just vote for Trump, because in this case I think there are orders of magnitude in the level of evil between the two.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. The libertarian critique is useful and often very correct. But like all ideologies, it’s supposed to match reality, not twist reality to match itself. The idea that people should be allowed to do what they like provided that what the do doesn’t violate others’ rights by aggression or fraud is a good, basic idea. But when it’s applied to the real world, right away a reasonable person realizes that it’s very difficult to determine what really constitutes aggression, and even more difficult to agree on what fraud entails.
And of course, as the quibcag suggests, one needs a critical mass of libertarians to have a libertarian society, and for these libertarians to exist, they have to be brought up with the proper characteristics. And unless you already have a libertarian society, it’s virtually impossible to bring them up that way with society at large teaching them otherwise…”
I voted Johnson last time, but if Trump wins the nomination (highly unlikely) and if I vote, I’ll vote Trump.

Glen Beck on Rubio: (disclaimer, I’m not a beck follower, just found it) I think Cruz is his #1.
“I will tell you, not only could I vote for him, he’s one of my two now — a strong No. 2”
I hate to play this card, but I think he’s genuine enough to where we disagree on things, … but at least he’s honest, that he says what he means and means what he says.
He will crush Hillary Clinton — crush her. Rubio is a “Hispanic Barack Obama” and will make Clinton look ancient.
According to Beck, when up against Rubio on issues like income inequality, immigration and raising a family, the Democratic front-runner will look “1,000 years old.”
Gary Johnson has no, nada, zero chance of wining! Gary Johnson as a Presidential candidate is an example of irrelevance in the first degree!

My thoughts exactly. Johnson is a nothing…waste of time driving to the polls to pull for that loser. If Trump actually makes it on the R ticket I’ll vote for him only because he’s an outsider (of the political parties) and not afraid to say what he thinks, whatever I might think of that or not.
Trump is a modern version of Perot, if anyone remembers 1992.
Aquapura My thoughts exactly. I just hope Trump runs third party if he gets screwed over by the GOP!

Trump’s trying to pull a slave revolt against the GOP establishment masters. It takes 1236 committed delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot. If Trump comes up ONE delegate short, it’ll be a brokered convention and the establishment will hand the nomination to Bush or Rubio. A vote for anyone other than Trump is a vote to have Bush or Rubio be the Republican nominee. So, no, I won’t be voting for Gary freaking Johnson. He probably got a pot of money from Karl Rove to run as a Libertarian. They just want to peel off a few Trump votes so they can hand it to Bush or Rubio.
