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

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
