Dont you know we libertarians always win fake polls?
I'd rather have a good person who is interested in doing what is best for America than a person who only cares about himself and doing what is best for himself.
To me, "umpf" doesn't mean much, being a good person and a good president does. We don't have a good person and we don't have a good president right now, we have a selfish, immature, self-centered child as president right now.
I'd take John Kasich over Donald Trump in a heartbeat.
Rand Paul.
The only things I disagree with him on are his stances on Abortion, and Education.

Nonsense, Trump is trying to do what is best for him. Inflaming a war over the NFL, claiming white supremacist marchers are "good people", tweeting endlessly about Muslims murdering but staying quiet about white men doing it is NOT what is best for the country. Trying to repeal Obamacare by taking away desired benefits and replacing with a system which costs the country more money is not what is good for America. Undermining news organizations which report on his own words and actions, just because he doesn't like the fact they are pointing out how terrible his words and actions are is not what is good for America. He is intentionally divisive, sometimes even instigating situations, just to fan the flames of his own dedicated voter base.Trump is trying to do what he thinks is best for the country. Look passed his rhetoric.
I'm most definitely not a Trump supporter, but I found John Kasich to be the person I was most interested in. He seemed fairly moderate in the ways I want a President to be moderate, but most importantly, he was running a campaign about doing what was best for other people, not what was best for himself. You couldn't say that about either Trump or Clinton.
I know there would have been several issues on policy I probably would have disagreed with him, but at least our country would not have been embarrassed by him as President.
Neither was a childish imbecile, like our current President.
It's always amusing how so many simple minded people confuse courage and idiocy.
And I will criticize Trump for his own actions, and not blame the left or Democrats or Clinton or Bush or anyone for his irresponsible, ignorant, crude, callous, and unPresidential behavior.
That's what people who believe in personal responsibility actually do.

Trump is not doing what is best for America, he is doing what is best for himself.
It's an awkward question. Rand Paul was my #1 pick. Once he dropped out Trump was my GOP pick but Bernie was my preferred overall. I would easily have voted for Bernie Sanders but he didn't make it. Thanks to the Dems engaging in Sabotage my vote for Trump was easy because there's no way in hell I'd ever vote for Hillary.
Tangent: Despite my libertarian leanings, Johnson was out of the question. It wasn't his "what is Aleppo" that killed it for me...it was his blind and hardcore support of "FREE TRADE", which is not free trade at all.
Honestly? I have to question what people are smoking, to not be able to see this. It's not fake news. It's not rabid liberal bias. It's right there, as clear as the nose on your face, yet people are saying it's not true. I just don't get it.

It's not that they don't get it, it's that it is their team which is doing it. Too many people care far more about their team winning than they do about good government. They'd cut their conservative nose off just to spite their liberal face.Honestly? I have to question what people are smoking, to not be able to see this. It's not fake news.

Q for Trump supporters: If Trump had not been elected...
...in 2016, who would you have preferred win and become President? Of the people who actually ran. Either as Plan A or as Plan B, doesn't matter.
Guess you should have added, Bernie Sanders to the poll. :lamo I mean, are Trump supporters really this uninformed? How is Bernie Sanders the next logical step after Trump? I don't get it.
And there are plenty of people who were so disgusted with Hillary and the DNC that they would gladly take Trump, warts and all, over liberals overtly and outright cheating.And I will criticize Trump for his own actions, and not blame the left or Democrats or Clinton or Bush or anyone for his irresponsible, ignorant, crude, callous, and unPresidential behavior.

Voted for Cruz in the primary.

Lol "Free Trade" and free trade are completely different things, and I didn't say I hate free trade. Did you miss the part where I said Rand Paul was my #1 pick? Yeah, and of course, as a leftists you immediately went with the "misogyny" to justify Hillary being a garbage candidate to justify your vapid comment. For "the least libertarian candidate" don't you think its amazing that Sanders and Rand were on the same side when it comes to free trade?This might be the least intellectually consistent post I've ever seen in my entire life. A Libertarian, who hates free trade, and fully supported the least libertarian candidate, in the field, but settled for the second least libertarian in the field despite him being on the complete opposite of the spectrum from the first.
I'm going to go with misogyny as the driving factor behind your vote.
