Notice the "media" never refer to the likes of Obama or Sanders as "progressive darlings?"
Although Ted’s not a libertarian, he’s the next-most-libertarian to Rand, so I suspect the bulk of Rand’s people (those whoa aren’t crazy Libertarian rushing to Gary Johnwson) will settle on Ted.
Ted Cruz has the advantage of being everybody’s second choice.
He’ll probably endorse Cruz because Paul hates Trump. So Mr. Snarky, I’m the world’s smartest man, gets out of the race. Let’s see if he blames Trump. My guess he will.
Ted expressly appealed to libertarians to be part of his coalition on Monday night.
I do think that Cruz will benefit from Paul dropping out. But if his NH tally doesn’t show a gain then he will take a beating from the analysts.
Because nothing says “I’m for keeping government out of your life” than a creepy mailer showing your voting record and that of your neighbors.
NH has a large libertarian contingent. Ron Paul got 23% there last time. If Cruz hits Trump hard on the issues of eminent domain and NSA warrantless data collection, he could get a lot of support from the libertarians, especially with Paul out of the race. He can also tout his sponsorship of the USA Freedom act, his defense of the 2nd Amendment before the Supreme Court and his staunch defense of federalism and the 10th Amendment.
Rand Paul supporters = Libertarian = heavily against organized religion = They ain’t voting for Cruz.
Probably the most important election in American history comes down to a conservative nose-holder against a couple of islamist and commie lightweights.
God help us all.
Should benefit from Santorum’s dropping out too. Because no true conservative could feel comfortable about voting for Trump.
A Fundamentalist is libertarian? That’s funny...
Nothing says Libertarian as A Fundamentalist that believes he’s the Seventh King.
