Actual ideological Libertarians have never been more than 1-2% of the electorate. Most of Ron Paul's support wasn't coming from Libertarians but from malcontents and idealists from all bents. Ron Paul 2012 was the "f**k you Mom and Dad, I'm my own man" of campaigns.
The young idealistic Paul supporters who needed a cranky, eccentric old white man as a surrogate father figure are out there Feeling The Bern because it was never about Libertarianism or Socialism to them.
