Sadly that appears to be the case. The losertarian response to this one has been generally self-contradictory so far. Mention that Thune lost by their vote margin and they'll likely respond by desparately trying to convince you that Thune lost due to everything BUT the libertarians. Seconds later you'll see the same losertarians declaring that maybe Thune would have won if he'd listen to their ideas, and citing his victory as a deserved consequence of not pandering to them - a virtual admission of exactly what they just claimed not to be the case. Some of these people are beyond help, and I say this as a libertarian-minded GOPer from the Ron Paul wing of the party.
