How can any NeverTrumper support this if they care about social issues

[Indy Texas]

None of the four "major"/"main minor" candidates this year are pro-life. Trump is paying really cheap lip service. Clinton, Johnson and Stein are pro-choice.

So you can either vote for Trump or you can stay home.

That is a good point. I couldn't care less about the abortion issue as I'm not female and don't want children. But for those it matters, makes you wish Ron or Rand Paul was in there.

Also: I want Andrew Napolitano in there for Scalia's spot.  I want a strict Constitutionalist.

God, this is a terrible post.

Why would you not care about abortion because you aren't female and don't want kids? That's like saying you don't mind slavery because you aren't Black and don't own a farm.

Also, both Pauls are pro-life.

You should be ashamed.

You call a man who would bring back Lochner as natural law a "strict Constitutionalist"? Scalia is rolling in his grave.

[ElectionsGuy]

It was Weld who said that. Again, bad VP choice.

[OwlRhetoric]

Johnson isn't appointing any justices with a 5-7% national ceiling.

[Maxwell]

Johnson's getting pretty liberal lately! I like it!

They don't.

It's the neo-libertarian way. Self-centered ideology.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Johnson is getting tiresome. I wanted him to win the LP nomination when I assumed he would run as the Gary Johnson of 2012 and not this new "fiscally conservative, socially liberal " candidate.

[cMac36]

It's funny it does seem that much of Johnson's vote is disaffected Bernie supporters rather than disgruntled conservatives except in Utah area.  Probably a pander.  Kind of Goofy.  Has Breyer been Libertarian-friendly on Commerce Clause??  That is what they care about most not social issues

It's just not an issue that's important to me.  Gun rights/control aren't important to some people. Same difference.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Johnson is the closest to the type of libertarian I am, I just wish he was more eloquent in his campaigning and less awkward. The Paul's are too religious and conservative on social issues for me, I am pro-choice and believe the decision should be left to the mother.

[cMac36]

Do the Pauls support Federal regulation of abortion or just repeal of Roe v Wade, and then state-by-state laws?

Not sure what exactly you're referring to here? The case or the Era? The case seems to still hold today because I knew plenty of IBMers working 70 hours a week.

So Trump has suggested more libertarian Supreme Court nominees than the Libertarian candidate for President?

Yeah

It's the neo-libertarian way. Self-centered ideology.

Individualist ideology.  I don't like central planning, groupthink, etc.  "A person is smart; people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."

For abortion: I rather not kill a fetus if necessary, because non-aggression principle.  But there are some extenuating circumstances that mitigate that. I'm not a part of that conversation because it doesn't affect me personally.

Well I mean man what is politics but to take positions on issues that affect the society?

Hillary already broke one glass ceiling, let's break another.

OK, but you have issues that are more important to you, right? Issues that affect you or people in your life directly? Sure you do, and you're lying if you say you don't.  Abortion is just way down the totem pole for me.

Yeah but I don't draw a straight line with the impacts me is therefore important.  I guess that's because I have enough money to live etc obviously if I was poor pensioner I would be fixated on Social Security.  The way you wrote it is, not effect you you don't care which isn't the case for most people who would have these convos on their free time.  Whether you care about abortion or not is something only you can answer obviously.  I don't care about guns for example/

[Kingpoleon]

Breyer, Garland and Kennedy: a SCOTUS of three!

Sooo... Libertarian then, as that's the definition of the ideology.
