Libertarians: GOP 2.0?

It's now well-known that many prominent Republicans are lining up to back Her over The Donald "Nuke 'Em" Drumpf. This linked list -about the latest I can find- doesn't include former New Jersey Governor Christie Todd Whitman, who recently announced that she supports Her as well.

This isn't good news for the Republicans, but all is not rosy for the Democrats. Politico is running a post declaring that the two major corporatist parties are losing Millennials to the Libertarians and the Greens. In most polls, Hillary loses more than The Donald does while still maintaining the plurality, but the margin of victory grows small enough for it to be gamed in the vote tallies.

I sent this article to my Millennial son, who reported back that CNN broadcast a Libertarian Town Hall event and advertised it heavily.

To me, this indicates that the corporatist media is under orders to advance the Libertarians as a probable replacement for the Republican Party should Drumpf complete its destruction with a disastrous showing in the election. It won't repair the damage to the GOP brand this year, but could prove to be sufficient to pose trouble to Her in 2020.

Thoughts?

I can't tell if it is an attack or just that the MSM needs horse races "like a needle needs a vein" (as Bono so vividly put it)

of the Libertarian foreign policy ideas. It's their domestic policies that make my shake my head.

He was behind the privatization of the prison system in New Mexico and needless to say it didn't end well for anyone, but especially the prisoners.

Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.

Guerrilla Liberalism won't liberate the US or the world from the iron fist of capital.
