Seems that Libertarians are really LINO's - Libertarians In Name Only.
Watch the video starting at 30 sec. mark - and be amazed at the LINO's view of the 2nd Amendment. The "choice" is now between a dictator/socialist Trump, a Marxist moron Bernie, a member of the shitiest family in America - still un-convicted Hillary, and "I just want to be President" Johnson. There is a common threat between all of them, though - no philosophy or morals of any kind, among any of the prime flotsam in America.
Seems like all roads lead back to Hillary…. Heil Hillary, our next and last President!

Had to deal with two separate unions since the locations were across the Hudson from each other. It took some "creative" financing to provide the appropriate "motivation" for the unions, and even the building inspectors, so this could be delivered on time.
NetApp has been on hold in Colorado for the past 6 months on their building because their Program Managers do not know how to "motivate" the local zoning board to approve the "zoning changes" that came up halfway through the already approved project.
So it is easy to say Trump did all those things you indicated, but to succeed is not limited only to Trump, and EVERY business that wants to succeed in certain places either plays the game and succeeds, or they do not and either end up wearing cement shoes with a view of the ocean floor, or they are just pummeled into financial oblivion.

If Trump actually gets rid of the EPA, Dept of Ed and a few others, for good measure, I, for one, will publicly applaud him. We shall remain hopeful.
Now, as to Trump's understanding of economics. Certainly, he built an amazing empire. But was it built on free market principles or on socialist graft? Remember, Trump was a big donor to the Clintons - why? and to other powerful socialists in both parties. If you know anything about construction business in NY, then you must know that pretty much all of it is built on graft. (First-hand knowledge here...). So, yes, he did build a $10B business, using similar methods to Putin's $100B business. And, btw, except for Greece, countries don't really have bankruptcy protection, so going bankrupt a couple of times and re-bounding is really not a good option.
All of the above still leaves him preferable to the certified moron and an about to be certified (finally) criminal, but is this really the best out of 330 million people? (would have been 350M, but I subtracted the 20 million undocumented ones).
I do not understand how one can mistake a nationalist/conservative with a socialist/communist; is our educational system that bad that we do not understand the definitions of these words?
I understand the gov't run educational system is using miseducation tactics to dumb down and control the populous, but really people SELF EDUCATE, STUDY, LEARN and TEACH those around you.
I was a Rand Paul supporter, then looked at and researched Rafael Edward (Ted) Cruz. Ted looked good going by FoxNews, but he isn't a natural-born-citizen of the U.S.; How do I know this? Simple, He has a Candian citizen Birth Certificate, He admitted to being a Canadian citizen and in 1970 any child born in Canada as a Canadian Citizen could only be Candian NO DUAL CITIZENSHIP ALLOWED!
Canadian immigration law from 1946 until 1977 made it impossible to be born in Canada with dual citizenship status.
From there I moved to Donald Trump, every bit of research [NOT SOUNDBITE NEWS] shows Donald J. Trump to be a true blue American citizen, he helps the poor, steps in to save a person being mugged, hires the best person for the position (hire a woman to lead the building of Trump Tower in 1981), sent his Jet to fly home service men and women when they no way to get home to see their families for the holidays, sends his jet to fly impoverished individuals that can not afford much-needed healthcare to the hospital for treatment [even Jewish children].
He pays his people fair, and more then 98% of his employee's and former employee's trust and love the man; yet people that seem to not study this all important choice make senseless comments about him, why is that?
All of all those running I gladly pick and side with Donald J Trump
You say Trump has a lack of economic understanding, I would reply that is a blatantly false claim based on his net worth, hit companies success, and the 10+ billion dollars in assets globally, with only 500 million in debt. I do not think you can support a claim of economic ignorance based on that 40+ year track record and his companies current state of liquidity.
I know two people who worked for the Trump organization one for over 20 years, she left New York and works at Home Depot. She keeps telling me Trump is about meritocracy. Be productive or "You're Fired" that does not sound socialist to me.
Next Venezuela is a very poor example in your comparison as is Hitler in every way.
When I refer to Regan, I do so in comparison to Jimmy Carter, and I apologize for not providing that context.
Trump has indicated numerous times that he wants to get rid of Dept. of Education and EPA ASAP. Sounds like smaller Government to me. Also, the States have their own EPA and Dept. of Education no need at all for Federal versions.
I will not belabor the arguements for or against states controlling these things and regulating them as they do because personally I would like to see the vast majority of it all go away.
However, we are faced with reality, and we do have to play the hand we are dealt. Our hand will consist of Hillary, Trump, Johnson. Johnson's choice for VP blew him out, and I was not really much for him in the first place. Johnson has spent too long in politics for my taste.
Where are the "Galt's Gulch" presidential candidates? Lots of talk but not many actually stepping up and running for office.
Oh, as to Ronal Reagan, since you brought it up - aside from helping the Soviet Union bankrupt itself (no small achievement; full credit for that!), look through all the laws that Reagan signed and you will find that all of them were against liberty (gun ban, for ex.) and to increase the size of the government (new agencies, new regulations, ...). Reagan was very much a socialist, as evidenced by his actions, not his rhetoric.
Dr. Phil always said many times that past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.
But how about the viewpoint of people who actually work for Trump and have for years. I prefer paying attention to people with first hand knowledge of Trump.

Following injecting her, she has awakened, and knowing he would eventually come for her in his Vendetta, he has injected the sleeping doctor who was responsible for the mass murders in which he too was intended to have been a victim. Shortly before the results of the injection have manifested, whereupon she will cease to exist, she is explaining to him that her intentions were but the most "wonderful" and beneficial to all. He calmly replies, "I have not killed you for what you had intended, only for what you have done."
Hear hear!
Mein Kampf (German: [maɪ̯n kampf], "My Struggle") is an autobiography by the National Socialist leader Adolf Hitler, in which he outlines his political ideology and future plans for Germany. Volume 1 of Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and Volume 2 in 1926.
Hitler came to power in 1933. So if you wanted to KNOW Hitlers intentions all you needed to do was READ his book. Hitler spelled it all out. This makes your comparison also invalid.
Show me your "socialist" agenda evidence instead of what I see as nothing more than empty talking points.

Good old Edward Estlin Cummings got it 90 or so years ago. The problem in life's roller-coaster, just like the ones at Busch Gardens is that you can't get off until the ride ends.
You-all going back to the Utopia question? Look at every candidate, no - Better still, look at every politician. The Democrats are all DINOs, The Republicans are RINOs, the Libertarians are LINOs. Pretty soon I expect to find HINOS, (Humans In Name Only.) None of them are really who they say they are, but in the past they were able to conceal that. Today, possibly because of a contribution of social media, they can't seem to hide who they really are. Your choice is between a Marxist who never held a real job, a felon, a philosophy-free ethically challenged businessman, or a false Libertarian. Hoowee! What a choice. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. And yet, the best choice is?
Now that shotgun is loaded with triple-aught buck and kept within quick reach of my bed.
I don't care to buy the pickup I'd need for deer hunting. No, I also don't care for dents in my car's roof, thank you very much.
Nothing in my support is emotional, only empirical.
One thing to consider is the old, "What's in it for me." thinking. so I have to ask myself what does Trump get out of this? I cannot think of one thing he gets from this other than trying to fix a seriously broken system for his grand kids.
If he is elected, by law he has to put his entire Global enterprise into a blind trust and his kids will have 100% control. He has to give up his 757 which is bigger, and nicer than AF1. He has to give up his Helicopter which is much nicer than Marine 1. He has to move out of his 100 million dollar gold plate penthouse to live in the Whitehouse that was infested with Obama's for 8 years. Trump has to give up for at least 4 years all his personal freedom and is placing himself, and his entire family at physical risk.
If someone tells me it is about his ego, then I reply fine. Then if that is the reason, I am betting he will work like a fiend to make sure he proves everyone wrong, if for nothing than the sake of his ego.
In my neighborhood, we have 20 families, and there are only 4 that are not Trump supporters, and we have one black family and one interracial family. So based on my middle-class neighborhood, those polls are not accurate showing over 58% would prefer someone other than Trump or Clinton.
Poll: 58 Percent Of Voters Considering Someone Other Than Trump or Clinton

495px-Donald_Trump_by_Gage_SkidmoreHillary_Clinton_Testimony_to_House_Select_Committee_on_BenghaziWe have been discussing the bizarre situation of the two major parties nominating the two candidates with not just the highest, but unprecedented, negative numbers with voters. The presumptive nomination of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have renewed calls for reforms to challenge the control of a duopoly of power in the country. This week there are new polls showing not only that Trump and Clinton are roughly equal in the high rejection of the majority of the voters, but 58 percent say that they are considering voting for someone other than Trump and Clinton. That could be a huge boast to the Libertarian and Green candidates this election. It also may reflect the dangerous gamble of the establishment in the Democratic party in securing the nomination for Clinton.

I do not rest my case....In this election anything is possible and nothing should be discarded under the shop worn meaningless mantras of the left about couldn't possibly win or don't flush your vote. The only flushing to be done is the present rejected single party two faced system and they should be flushed straight away with five back up plunges to put the fairly in the sewer system.
I had to laugh at Sanders saying picking between Clinton and Trump was choosing the lesser of two evils. His point of view is by far the greatest evil facing this country .
But let's say half of those negatives split their votes. 19.5 going to the libs 16 is 35% becomes the winning percentage with the rest in the 20's.
Presuming the Rinos don't dump trump which they still can do and easily. Challenging the stolen winner take all votes is stil an unsettled issue and that rule already in place is still on the books for this convention.
The numbers can't be easily disputed. It's the other two parties polls that provided them.
Democrats at the start of this were given 29% of the availavle to vote people.
Republicans were given 24% of the eligbile voter pool.
That's 53%
Libertarians an point to about 10% that's 63%
But they are also looking at 16% plus in practical terms or 67%.
That leaves 37% remarkably close to the amount that aren't registered.
The left is offering three candidates until the Libs got on the ballot in all fifty states there was no opposition. The left in one guise or the other had Trump and Hillary and Sanders
Do you think the left really cares which one wins? No evidence of that.
Half of the extreme left the 'international socialist'; camp say they will not vote for the other half. 29 divded by two is 14.5. Suppose half of that was actually true. and Hillary was able to keep 7.25. Trump getting 7.25. wow 21.75. versus 31.25 except some would suddnly say.. hmmm I'd rather not vote at all and
the same applies to Trump's 24% In the end the numbers get very very close. between Trump and Clinton. about 26.5 each.if every registered voter votes and there are other opportunities;.
remember the lost 1/'3rd of the available pool? maybe ten percent would get excited and say wow we finally have represntation. Libs now are at 26%
Whose going to be the two or is it three major party after the fateful day'?
78% voter turnout? it could happen with this one.
if the toilet flushers back their words with deeds.
Point is in THIS electiojn season we've already seen weird and have at least three weirdos running as if they were the only ones.
Don't look over your shoulders Bernie, Hilly, and Donny, and if you do whatcha going to do when the public comes for you????
Now if we could only just get along and act objectively instead of like Plato the 531st or taking terms flip flopping.
Not a skeptic but just MA the cynical realist or realistic cynic.
The foregoing was a political comment based at least in part on objectivism with a bit of wishful thinking thrown in. What if they gave an election and no one took the day off to visit Mexico or Canada?
And i approved it. for sure it's in the realm of possibility except for the skeptics and socialist roaders
