Gary Johnson still hanging around. He's one big Hildabeast email dump away from big momentum:

Not all college students are FS. The race / gender merchants on the Left are seeing their movement begin to eat itself through absurdity:

    I might not mind libertarians so much if they weren't so intertwined with the Tea Party movement and didn't have such hard boners for Ayn Rand books.

    You gotta get out more, read some more, and open your mind. Just as the left has tacked harder left and Trump is having his way with the Republicans, Libertarians have become more pragmatic.

    William Weld is a Romney-demublican, establishment clone placed with Johnson as insurance just in case Hillary can't stay healthy enough to make it to the finish line in November.

    I've already read all of Ayn Rand's stuff (in high school). Now that she's dead, I don't think she is producing any more material. And she was the only original writer and thinker in the movement.

    Wait, conservative principals were taught in high school? I thought schools were run by liberals?

    At my conservative high school we were taught the difference between principals (the administrator who ran the school) and principles (the fundamental tenets or beliefs).

    Actually, her fiction books were on a reading list we had in 11th grade English Lit, so I read all 4. I read her non-fiction stuff after that. At the time, I didn't view it as conservative, I viewed it as atheist, so I really liked it.
