I agree with JMart below that Libertarians are compelling and frustrating. Actually, a big bowl of whipped cream that looks good, but has no practical substance.
He says the ends don't justify the means, but he supports free trade with dictators. If he said capitalism with the rest of the liberal agenda of freedom, rule of law, enforcement of contracts, etc., he'd make a lot more sense. Buying Iranian oil to fund their proxies trying to eliminate Israel in no way makes us richer.
His moralistic stance on spending puts more power in the executive, not less. Presumably he and his mates could torpedo any legislation, which he will do if he sticks to his guns on voting against any such bill which increases the Federal debt, i.e., all of them. Trump then will have no choice but to attempt executive actions to implement his agenda. Not good. It also makes Paul an authoritarian as he is thwarting the will of the electorate which voted republican in this cycle to fulfill his own Quixotic adventures.
Such politicians are harmless when their party is out of power, but hell when that party is in power.
Late to the party on this one...
