What is a Libertarian? | DW News

While Clinton & Trump fight the nastiest election in memory, Libertarian Gary Johnson says he’s the positive alternative. But what is Libertarianism all about? DW goes to a very special farm to find out.

Unpopular Trump? Maybe DW needs to profile one of his rallies and interview the 1000s of people there. These Trump numbers vs Hillary's scattering of 100s that go to her rallies are a good indication who is unpopular despite mainstream media polls.

Where would you suggest as the best place to live in the USA for a Libertarian? Freest state, county etc? I hear a lot about North Idaho. Any thoughts?

It is unfortunate that Johnson and Weld only want to cut military spending by %20.  While better than the current situation, the military should be slashed by at least %50 or more.  Closing most - or maybe all - of our foreign bases would help.  We should end the huge amount of money on weapons spending (many of which are sold to foreign governments like Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, Egypt etc. etc. which often have horrible human rights violations.  This is in violation of the Leahy amendment, but no one seems to care . . . According to CNN, the US is the top arms exporter/seller in the world - no "gun control" there!).Particularly strange in regard to those who often say they want gun control -- most of the Democrats (such as Obama, Clinton etc.) love selling arms to foreign malefactors.  Then there's the World Bank and IMF, the DEA and NSA and CIA -- all should be immediately closed.

New Hampshire is NOT libertarian. It's very progressive, just like other New England states.

the only thing i hate about libertarianism is its open border policy, worse than the far left.
