Who considers themselves part of the Never Trump movement? I do and I've articulated my views before in numerous pieces. But with the exit of Ted Cruz and John Kasich, there is nobody for the Never Trump movement to rally behind. Or is there? There is a party that the Never Trump movement needs to support. And it isn't Hillary Clinton, like many Republicans are starting to look towards. Here are three reasons why the Never Trump Movement needs to support the Libertarian Party.
1. Ballot Access
Say you like the Constitution Party. Or the Green Party. But alas, they're only appearing in less than twenty-five states. The Libertarian Party presidential nominee, however, will be appearing on the ballot in all fifty states as the only other candidate besides the Republican and Democratic nominee. You want an actual candidate who can stop both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump? The Libertarian Party presidential nominee is that candidate.
2. Fiscally Conservative
Republicans love smaller government and fiscally conservative ideas. With the national debt doubling from $10 trillion to $20 trillion under President Obama, there is a greater need to reign in the government's spending. As the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen explained about the national debt," Actually the way I said it was — and I still believe this — that it’s the single biggest threat to our national security." Unfortunately for Republicans, Donald Trump's plan is going to add at least $10 trillion to the debt as he refuses to cut spending.
3. We Actually Have Decent Candidates
A former two-term governor. A software genius. A social media magnet. We have excellent candidates for you to choose from. Don't like Gary Johnson's stance on abortion? Rally behind Austin Petersen as he is the only pro-life candidate running in the Libertarian Party. Don't like Austin Petersen's plan for ISIS? Rally behind John McAfee and his plan to upgrade our cybersecurity capabilities. No matter what, we actually have pretty good candidates who you can be proud to support.
4. Not Hillary Clinton
Self-explanatory to Republicans and sane Democrats.
In the end, who are you going to support? Donald Trump will not be contested. Hillary Clinton will clinch the Democratic nomination. We have the opportunity of a life-time to make an impact on the presidential race and politics for decades to come. Don't waste it.
