      Because she is a former Ron Paul activist that somehow makes her less credible as a source to describe feeling conflicted about supporting Trump? That makes no sense.

      The fact that she is a committed right-wing activist seems relevant to assessing her claims of conflictedness or persuadability. Would you quote a local GOP county chair for a story like this without disclosing?

      You obviously don’t understand Republicans very well. “Right-wing” is lazy shorthand and totally misses how different Ron Paul and Donald Trump are.

      ??? Among libertarian intellectuals there has been a lot of angst about how Rothbard-Rockwell-Rand-Paul-Ron-Paul tradition has been gateway to alt-right & Trumpism. Worth reading @willwilkinson on this.

          Vast majority of grassroots "libertarians" have always really been social reactionaries who didn't like that the federal government was preventing them from oppressing and exploiting their local minorities as they always had. Nicely explains their connections to neo-Confederacy.

          Libertarian rhetoric was just really convenient for attacking the feds and defending states' rights, etc. The real forerunner of today's "libertarians" was John C Calhoun.

          A lot of people who are libertarians are looking to blow up the system and are not fans of traditional politicians. Hence the Trump attraction. Libertarians are almost always conspiracy theorists to some degree. Trump is the ultimate conspiracy theorist so it’s not surprising.
