I voted for Gary Johnson. But I do understand the votes for Trump.

However, you might want to reconsider in the future. Not voting for the libertarian candidate because you believe they "have no chance of winning" is not really helping the cause btw.

I.E., if no one votes for the third party for fear of losing, then a negative feedback loop is constantly reinforced every 4 years and thus the Libertarian party's chances of winning will never grow, because their percentage of overall votes will never grow.

Despite this behavior, though, the Lib party's percentage of votes is growing. The near term goal is to gain enough % of the votes to where the Lib party can no longer be ignored by the establishment.

Torque: how can any libertarian support a candidate who supports forced vaccination of children? https://www.oathkeepers.org/mike-adams-libertarian-presidential-candidate-favors-forced-vaccines/

He clarified that position:

Also, please don't make me have to go dig up at least 5-6 stances on things held by either Trump or Hillary that would make the average person want to vomit themselves. These party candidates are not 'perfect' in all their views, far from it. If you are waiting around for that 'perfect libertarian candidate', you're gonna be waiting a long time. Possibly forever.

Ok, at the risk of being reprimanded for going off-topic, I'm a full blooded Alex Jones Info-warrier and I am proud of it, and I don't agree with anyone 100%, but with Alex it's probably the high nineties, and his information which is usually accurate: https://www.infowars.com/alex-jones-exposes-pro-amnesty-libertarian-gary-johnson/ Gary Johnson was Anti-Gun, Pro-TPP, Pro-Amnesty. Now Pro-Amnesty I understand you may be against national borders if you are maybe an anarchist, but I believe in national sovierenty as a practical necessity and we can agree to disagree. I believe we do ourselves a great dis-service when we vote by political party. Just the fact that Trump is most vehimently hated by the rest of the establishment republicans clearly indicates he has the right people as his enemies! Supporting any candidate just to advance a particular party, I think that is a mistake.

I have a locked room test. If I was locked in a room with person X, how well would I sleep?

Alex Jones is like an angry bulldog. I would sleep extremely well with someone like that watching over me.

Hillary would knife me in my sleep.
