Does not compute. Libertarian to a socialist? Wanna know how I know you're a moron? Couldn't be more opposite. Rand Paul himself would tell you you're a moron.

Rand's dad would disagree with you. LINK

Bernie Sanders' stances on corporate cronyism, the war on drugs, federal reserve transparency, and unnecessary foreign adventurism are not unlike Rand Paul's. However, his focus on certain aspects of "social justice" and his propensity toward higher taxes and additional government-provided services (healthcare, education, etc.) are certainly in opposition to Rand.

Point being, not everything is a dichotomy, dude. People treating politics like some kind of football game between Rs and Ds where one side is always right, every time, about everything, is why we are where we are right now. The real morons are those who assume libertarian-leaning Paul supporters should just blindly hop on board the Republican train without contemplating the relative merits of all the other candidates' ideological stances.

Likely Gary Johnson voter, by the way.

Nothing in that link said he disagreed. Did you actually watch the video with Paul talking? He said you won't find anybody in the election that's close to a libertarian (now that Rand is out). The part the said he favored Sanders was inaccurate and speculation. The interviewer said no way in hell would libertarians would move to Sanders and Paul said well he actually does have some libertarian views (which he does) but in no way would Paul side with Sanders. And Ron Paul isn't the end all be all when it comes to lbertarianism anyways. I actually like Rand better than his dad.

To switch from Paul to Sanders is moronic.
