    Jo Jorgenson, the Libertarian candidate, also running as a write in, was an actual factor taking 38,491 votes most likely away from Trump.

    I wonder if history will repeat itself with the Libertarian candidate. The current libertarian candidate seems to be a much stronger candidate than Jorgenson was.

      Not sure, TBH, I haven’t really been following the Libertarian side of things. You would think the Republicans who defected from their party would have ended up in the Libertarians, and that didn’t happen.

      Also Walz’s message of “Mind your own damn business!” could be a Libertarian bumper sticker.

        Based on what I’ve seen in real life with the Republicans I’ve known, when they don’t like their candidate, they don’t usually defect. They just sit out the election.

        I live near the birthplace of the Libertarian party, and most Libertarians around here do not like Trump at all.

          Oh, I’m not talking RECENTLY. The Republican party has been bleeding membership for 20 years now.

          The weird thing is they’re registering as “Independent” over Libertarian.
