    "The Libertarian candidate in Montana's U.S. Senate race has thrown his support behind Republican Matt Rosendale in response to an election mailer from an unknown group that appears aimed at undermining Rosendale's support among conservatives.

    Rick Breckenridge said Wednesday that he doesn't know the source of the mailer promoting him as a "true conservative" and claiming Rosendale supports using drones to spy on private citizens.

    In my opinion, President Trump is far closer to basic Libertarian principles than the Democrats tend to be.

    Now I admit that I could be wrong.... but I have the feeling that President Trump wants to go down as one of the most "Libertarian" Presidents in USA history....... right up there with Lincoln and Kennedy?


    Did going bankrupt in '91 prepare Mr. Trump for the Presidency?

    This should not be a shocker.......
    President Trump or at least his administration are getting a lot of credit from some leading Libertarians:

    Hey Trucker..... I'm Canadian..... and i admit that i am certainly no expert
    on USA politics but........
    I have gotten the impression that President Donald J. Trump may just be far, far, far, far more "Libertarian" than many of his friends and supporters in the Evangelical Christian Movement might tend to imagine him to be?

    What do you think?


    Is President Trump quite "Libertarian?"

    Is President Trump more Libertarian than most Democrats?

    I would like to think that I, DennisTate, am somewhat more so "Libertarian" than he is....... but then again...... I could be wrong...... I often am??!!

    I dont know, but if Montana has early voting it may be too little, too late because the 1%er waited too long and many votes have already been cast

    While anything is possible, the only truly reliable poll is the one conducted on election day. All others are mere window dressing.
