Agreed Mystic, she's a socialist and she'd be a disaster. But she is a Democrat. I don't like the direction the Democratic Party is moving. I don't like the effect Trump's had on the Republican Party either. You may have to cast your lot with WTF and me and vote for the Libertarian.

Agree.
The Dim political strategy folks are so easy to pick apart it's like they are cloned yes men, or dim leadership is ignoring them. Either way they're setting themselves up for zombie apocalypse.

If you think WTF is a Libertarian you’re dumber than I thought and don’t know what a Libertarian is. But by all means, vote Libertarian.

Trump knows where it is. Any POTUS should.

Ask him. I believe he voted for Johnson and Weld in the last election. He’s got good Libertarian instincts on social issues. He hasn’t quite come around on economic issues. I’m working on a full fledged conversion. Right now he’s a three quarters Libertarian.

Thank you, Waco. One too many margaritas down here in San Antonio.

No, he would be for freedoms. The right to do what one pursues. They don’t want high taxes, gun control, what car you drive or what you eat. They don’t like frivolous wars. If that’s the case, vote for trump. Even Bill Weld dumped the Libertarian party. Their best candidate was Ron Paul. His son would be a good Libertarian.

Damn Bambino, you've upped your game, honestly. Kick out the parts about WTF and Weld and that might be the best post arguing for the election of Trump in this forum, ever. It's short and sweet, something you could put in a campaign speech.

WTF believes in a lot of Libertarian positions, the right to do what an individual wants to pursue as you put it. Actually he believes in one or two that I don't believe in. Anyway, my recollection is that WTF does not believe in frivolous wars or wasteful military spending. Make that wasteful spending period. He doesn't like big deficits or eminent domain. He doesn't believe you should tell people they can't eat Big Macs or smoke, although he wouldn't allow government to subsidize their health insurance if they did. He would legalize prostitution and marijuana, and make borders more open than they are now. Women would be free to choose whether to have an abortion during the early part of their pregnancies.

He'd fit right in at the Cato Institute if you could keep him away from Social Security and taxes. You also might want to keep him about 100 feet away from Cato's big benefactors, like Charles Koch. And David Koch, may he rest in peace.

In the toilet is an exaggeration - he still raised $15 million last quarter, compared to $25 million each for Warren and Sanders.

I want the American people to know wtf they want cost money and to pay for it.

If they want a stupid war....pay for it. If they want the largest military in the world , pay for it.

If they want SS and Medicare , pay for it. Oh wait they already do do that. They pay for SS and Medicare.

I want taxes to equal what we want and seeing how those are the three biggest expenses and two are fully funded....I'd like taxes to go up or military spending to go down.

It is very simple but people tend to twist simple when it does not fit their narrative.
