I saw that from Weld, and it nearly caused me to switch my vote to Trump. In the end I voted for Johnson in the hope of getting the LP into the 2020 debates. He finished with 3% nationwide, so that probably failed.

Getting rid of ObamaCare is huge. My thinking is he will put the best people in the right jobs instead of just finding work for political friends. I am hopeful...

Trump is no Objectivist. However he is closer to our philosophy than the wicked witch. After all when Julian Assuange was asked why no leaked emails on Trump, his reply was there was no corruption by Trump.

On the other hand , My Cat would be a superior President , over Odipshit...

One already said they were just joking. What a let down.

And that was 50some years ago! All the while we as a nation have been sleep-walking to oblivion!

yes, and not so ill-informed on the issues!

Wouldn't that be great!?

. . . who in turn was an improvement over Dubya. Donald Trump will be the best President to take office this century, but then again so would Donald Duck.

Unfortunately, Gary Johnson was the worst possible candidate the Libertarian party could have put forward. A wasted vote even though cast with "integrity" is still a wasted vote and the alternative (Hillary) would have been the final nail in the coffin and a blow to the Constitution of which there would be no recovery. So! There you have it......"The Ugly Truth"!

I felt the same way! There really was no alternative and that the best we could do is what we got. Now we will see if he is capable of being great, a caretaker or a tyrant hellbent on destroying the country. The "lesser of two evils" now has the con...let's see what he is truly made of!

I think that truly only a vote FOR Hillary would have been anti-Objectivist. Because voting is all really about what you think that politician is going to do in the future. We knew from Hillary's past behavior and current attitudes that there was a better than 99.999% chance she would act as President in a way that would further erode basic rights. We hoped that Donald Trump would be a change in the right direction, but because of a lack of real history, we left a lot to chance.

Well, I voted for Gary Johnson because he was the candidate that best reflected my values. I feel frustrated towards those who voted for Trump to prevent Hillary from winning. Part of the reason why we are presented with poor choices is because we accept them. No one I know could defend either Hillary or Trump as a solid choice. It was always about the "Not Hillary" or "Not Trump". It time to consider the idea that we vote for candidate instead of against. Anyway those are my two cents.

Yes Trump is no John Galt, but any thing is an improvement over "The Bama"

She couldn't have voted for Hillary. Rand warned about the direction we were going and we didn't listen. A lot of work needs to be done but I am a little more optimistic now.

absolutely not. however, Ayn Rand probably would not have voted for him or anyone else.
I did!!!!!!!!!!

It seems to always be some awkward stoner - haha. There's more to Libertarianism than weed. Good lord...

I read he appointed a climate change skeptic to his transition team. Encouraging sign.

The support for her and Bernie Sanders was frightening. I do hope the Donald does a good job.

Absolutely.

Talk about a poor vetting process. This was definitely an election the Libertarians could have gained some credibility. People were hungry for another option. They really blew it.

LOL. Might just show how irrelevant they really are.

It will be interesting to see what he does to the "climate change" treaties. Environmentalists are probably turning green as we speak.

I suspect the LP will be fielding two new candidates in 2020.

Yeah. You'd think they'd at least be Libertarian.
