Trump carries

[HoneyBadger]

Careful, Trump might call a press conference in order to call you a "lying guy" for that and hire "very good lawyers" to sue you if you don't fix your act being a "totally unstable individual" for calling attention to his past statements....

This guy is seriously a child. There is long, recorded history of Trumps past political limp wrist. The guy has changed parties regularly, he is on record supporting the AWB, he is on record supporting MANY dems, he is on record saying he would create the best healthcare in the world and the government would pay for it...

But heaven forbid, if you point out his true history, he's going to scream liar, liar pants on fire and threaten to sue. What a juvenile douche.

This post made me laugh. It's funny - because it's true.

Oh how I am going to enjoy Trump's inauguration.
Hater's gonna hate - or some such nonsense I think I heard from the cherdrens.
Carry-on.

If Trump gets the presidency, can we expect an Omarosa nomination to the Supreme Court?

Cute. I'm not going to rehash your failed logic on this one. Everyone is sick of hearing it.

Yeah... Mine is the flawed logic. Guess I missed the part where the libertarian party is a major player. In anything. I'll keep looking, though.

You guys never get it. It's not that I don't like libertarians. It makes no difference what I like or dislike. It does make a difference that about 98% (made that up...but it should be close) of people vote R or D. And that's the bottom line. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times...I don't vote R because I'm in love with the party. And you know that. I vote R because they can win. And by winning they control at least a part of the government process. I also vote R because they most closely align with my beliefs and they can win.

Libertarians can't win, and therefore can't control, jack s**t.

Reality sucks.

Yes, please continue to tell me that I live in a fantasy world while ignoring the pile of empirical evidence I presented. Then ask yourself which one of us is refusing to accept reality. If this is your reality, it exists only because you allow it to. If you didn't continue to blindly support "the party" then the party would cease to exist. It really is that simple.

I don't think Bailey has that much clout. Guessing you're going to have to convince maybe another 65 million or so.
But I could be wrong.

The whole is comprised of many individuals.

There is something in the neighborhood of, maybe, 400,000 registered libertarians. (can't even get them to register). There are roughly 8000 US Senate, State Senate, US House, State House and Governorships combined with exactly ONE sitting Libertarian. Hopefully your vote will just be wasted and not something worse. Sorry, that my friend, is the reality.......unfortunately.

It is only "reality" because you - and people like you - continue to make it so. I wish that wasn't the case.

As a side note, the low number of registered Libertarians is probably because most of them are registered as Republicans (and many as Democrats too) to vote in the closed primaries. I am a registered Republican.

[jslo]

These are serious questions for you "hard libertarians" (Not meant to be a bad thing). Why do you register as republicans? Don't you think it would help the cause to get the number of registered libertarians a bigger percentage of a voting block, after all, you are voting libertarian in the general right? Libertarians need to get their numbers up to the 30 to 40% range before they'll have any shot. Why would a libertarian register republican if they're going to vote libertarian anyhow? If you're going to be principled, go all in. I'd love to see a viable libertarian party but until the numbers get up, again unfortunately, it's a vote for the progressives. Just the way it is.
