In 2016 I voted libertarian. I liked Trump but wasn’t 100% sold and didn’t have confidence in the establishment Republicans. Looking at the vote totals most states had Gary Johnson at 3%. In MN, for example, it was 3.8%.

Trump has been the most libertarian president we’ve had. That being said, I’m assuming most libertarians would switch to Trump for 2020, I certainly am. If that’s the case he’d pick up a few extra states while holding onto the ones he flipped. That mixed with the massive amount of people walking away from the dems we may be looking at a landslide victory.

I haven’t heard any commentators, or anybody, speak to this point. Is it just me? What do you all think?

Am libertarian. Trump 2020.

Trump isnt certainly the most libertarian. Doesnt tick every box but ticks a lot of important ones. The not so important ones he is not against and I can see him doing something.

Eg Important ticks

  1. The biggest reduction in regulations in the history of any president.
  2. Lower tax
  3. Exiting Wars
  4. Working on turning back Obamacare
  5. Fighting the elite

Not so important but he hasnt moved on much but could do something in the 2nd term especially with the house

  1. Marijuana prohibition
  2. Gov out of abortions
  3. Reduce spending (he has done a bit of that but not nearly enough to get libertarians psyched)

On the other side the dems are so non-libertarian its insane. Kamala supports rent control which from a libertarian point of view proves stupidity even Krugman admits its stupid.

Jojo isnt as good as Gary.

If he pardoned Assange Id say he would get easily 50% of libertarian voters.

Yes, this. I hope he comes out in support of Assange.
