So the electoral college defeated hildebeast of all things ! I was surprised and encouraged the clintons are done. We get a bit of a reprieve from some really bad stuff for a few years. I will not waste the time

Nevada is falling in line with the California statistics- much different from the Wild West Nevada of the 1990s when I left California to come here.

Even though they took several very unlibertarian positions and ran a less than flawless campaign, Johnson and Weld still accomplished quite a bit. They tripled the LP’s previous presidential vote totals. They were a key factor in Trump’s victory, drawing some votes from Hillary and, more importantly, acting as a “safety valve” for #NeverTrump Republicans and independents by drawing votes from them that would otherwise have gone to Hillary. Over the election season Johnson polled as high as 12%, revealing a large group of voters who are fed up with both major parties and willing to seriously consider third-party candidates who are more in line with their views. These voters will at least consider Libertarian candidates in future elections. And the LP received unprecedented media coverage this year, including endorsements by half a dozen major newspapers. Not all the coverage was positive or sympathetic, but the same certainly also holds true for the major parties.

The bottom line is that even though the Johnson/Weld campaign was far from 100% libertarian and far from 100% perfect, it was powerful enough to decisively break through the 1% ceiling and lay a foundation for the LP’s continued growth.
