My favorite part is that after the Libertarians uproariously boo’ed him he still had to talk for 20 minutes. I bet he hated every second of it but even he knew he had to stay up there and talk or he would look like a big dumbass.

End result…he still looks like a big dumbass. One that wasted a day of campaigning to get effectively zero support.

Well lucky for the libertarians, the market will decide who wins the presidency.

Almost every libertarian I know is just a republican who has lost their trust in the republican party - and thinks regulation is always bad, yet relies on it for their daily lives.

But what it really boils down to, is they just don't like corruption. And Trump is basically the most corrupt person (if elected)

Libertarians are teenagers that think their parents are idiots and they could totally live independently without any help

They take an insane amount of help for granted while clutching their guns and bragging about how they're going it alone
