*That makes no sense,** by definition the Democratic vote are the people
that voted for the Democratic candidate, and the Republic vote are the
people that voted for the Republic candidate. *

*YES! If members of the Libertarian Party had voted for the Democratic
candidate then the most anti-libertarian man in American history would
never have become president, but they did not do so; and I can only think
of two reasons why they did not do so. *

*1) They were too stupid to figure that out. *
*2) They were being hypocritical when they claimed to value true
libertarian (small l) ideas like free trade and a free press. *

*I don't know if Hillary Clinton would've been a good president, she might
very well have been a lousy president, but she wouldn't have been an
apocalyptically dreadful president. She wouldn't have imposed
astronomically huge tariffs on everybody (except Russia) including
countries that have been our loyal allies for centuries, she wouldn't have
sued newspapers, book publishers, TV networks and individuals for saying
things about her that she didn't like. She wouldn't have accepted a half a
billion dollar bribe from the royal family of Qatar. And she wouldn't have
staged a coup d'etat!*
