I do believe Libertarians are going to fill in the gap. If it means Rand Paul, I could live with that, short term. For one reason, the Libertarians take some critical air supply out of both the R’s and the D’s, maybe even incinerating the establishment types of both parties.
Long term, Libertarians implode for housing an unruly mix.
Considering Rand Paul’s proven track record of “ethical flexibility” We might just as well keep Bhoner and Co. in an either or scenario.
