Remember the 2012 libertarian force in Iowa?

Ted Cruz's Quiet Coup in Iowa

They were there on Iowa Caucus night for Ted Cruz.

That article gives the history. Very good read.

There’s all that former Paul Trump support Ted’s followers were speaking about last night when Trump was winning the after debate polls 65-85% to 10-20%.

Sweet. I'm really looking forward to Carson dropping out.

It looks to me like this race is going to go all the way to the convention.

Paul’s people are anti establishment types and are going for Trump.

I hear from people in Trumpville that Paul people are volunteering for Trump. Paul doesn’t like Cruz all that much, and I suppose with a snake like Millhouse Cruz the have no use for Cruz.

Welcome Ladies and Gents of Paulville, Trump will make America great again.

Libertarians won't support a narcissistic blowhard authoritarian.

Those six backing Paul may be the reason his poll numbers were so low.

Rand Paul has been trashing Trump consistently since the very first debate. He doesn’t like big-government statists.

Cruz deserves and will get the lion’s share of Rand’s supporters in the primary.

Establishment types never supported Rand Paul.

You should look at every politician’s record before you bash them all with one brushstroke as “establishment.”

“...Pretty sad when you need to assert a pack of GOPe politicians endorsing you is a positive thing...”

Well, considering that NH’ers elect either socialist dems or gop-e rinos (ie - pickings are slim), any endorsement is likely better than no endorsement to the NH voters.
