Do Libertarians Dislike Donald Trump?

So, Trump-o goes to the national Libertarian convention and gets booed by the crowd. This reception was quite unlike what happens whenever Trump shows up at an alt-Right event and of course the alt-Left media (a.k.a. Fake News) jumped all over this moment because they’ll do or say anything to make us believe that Trump is heading into an election where he has no chance.

Trump then pissed off the alt-Left echo chamber by putting out a statement on his Lie Social website in which he not only said his appearance was greeted by a cheering throng, but that he could have easily gotten the Libertarian nomination, but it doesn’t matter since he’ll get all their votes anyway later this year.

Again, Trump-o’s braggadocio got the alt-Left noisemakers up in (verbal) arms because everything Trump says has to be full of shit.

Except there’s only one little problem here, because what Trump said about getting all those Libertarian votes, at least when those votes counted in the 2016 election, happens to be true.

I have never seen any analysis of the 2016 election which I am going to share with you now, so much for how the so-called blue and red experts pay any attention at all to third-party votes. But in pre-election polls in states like Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, which together totaled 47 electoral votes…
