​So the answer is yes, libertarians like this guy. And that means I've been
wrong all these years and I'm ​not a libertarian after all because unlike
Donald I'm not a big fan of censorship or torture or murdering children
because you don't like their father or putting your political opponent in
prison because she said things about you in a campaign speech you don't
like. And far more important than any libertarian philosophy, at least in
my humble opinion, I'm not a big fan of a madman getting his hands on the
nuclear launch codes of the USA.
