Was Robert Taft a Libertarian?

Robert Taft was the leader of the Conservatives, before Barry Goldwater. Didn’t get the Republican nomination. Came closest in 1952. Was a non-interventionist. He was not a Libertarian.

Not all isolationists are Libertarians.

However, all Libertarians are isolationists. It’s a defining characteristic of Libertarianism.

No, I don’t have any reason to believe Taft was a Libertarian.
