Quote:Nah, still too early to call. The Libertarian ticket will pull away more Clinton voters than Trump voters, and that could be huge. For all the noise Republicans have made about Trump hijacking the party and staying from its ideals, we're already seeing establishment Republicans cozying up to him in a "Donald is better than Hillary" move. This could be the modern day 1848 election, dividing and killing one party by virtue of their winning with a disastrous candidate, and opening the door for a new party to fill the void.


Anything that gets us a centrist third party is good in my book, even if that means four years of Trump.

Is the libertarian a centrist party? I always viewed them as a consistent party but does that make them centrist? They have a few common themes, decentralized government across the board socially and economically, non-intervention foreign policy, and a strong support for protected constitutional rights. Those three to me are more extreme positions than either republicans or Democrats. I guess if you look at it as a party that has some Democrat and some Republican ideologies it would be centrist?
