“The Libertarian Party’s platform calls for significantly reducing the scope of the federal government by getting rid of regulations and cutting spending.”
I’m open… which regulations? Which spending?
How do Libertarians do again?

Edit Yes, you read that right. In 2004, one faithless elector cast an electoral college ballot for John Edwards. It’s commonly believed this was an error, but it counted anyway. Meaning a mistaken EC vote has counted more than all Libertarian and Green candidates combined in the past 1/4 century.
