Libertarianism is one of the stupidest and most impractical ideologies of the modern world and I include Scientology in that category

Can't say I voted for him.  He's kinda the Bernie Sanders of the Republicans.  The leader of a kooky fringe ideology who tried to infiltrate a major party's primary.  Kinda the same trajectory too.  Young, obnoxious supporters that made it seem like he was more popular than he was.  Though Bernie obviously came closer to winning.  I kinda thought that Rand do better in 2016, but he didn't have the crackpot appeal of his father, and Trump pretty much took over the outsider mantle.

Oh, and Paul had zero compunction against working the system to snipe delegates.

Don't even go there. Bernie Sanders isn't the leader for some cooly fringe ideology, he is the leader of an ideology that is the most effective and best working in the world right now and that every developed country has adopted. It's the best ideology humanity has right now. The most practical and the most humane. Libertarianism is next to impossible to even implement, democratic Socialism and social democracy are the ideologies of the greatest nations on Earth right now. In times of crises, even Americans are beginning to understand that. Capitalism is old and outdated and didn't work for most humans. Bernie cares about humanity, not profits for a few, which is what capitalism is about. I'd even say capitalism as in the US is a dying ideology while Bernie's ideology is becoming the mainstream in every nation as the best ideology. Comparing libertarianism to democratic socialism is like comparing scientology to Islam in terms of popularity.
