4 Reasons Why The Never Trump Movement Needs to Rally Behind Libertarians

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
