Well duh? Of course they are Progressives, and they make lucrative pacts with those on the Left.
But, IMNVHO, you "Libertarians" are sort of like post-Reformation Protestants, replacing the corrupt establishment church with a plethora of ideological POVs and smaller establishments that can tolerate no other, and just as oppressive as the original establishment, just more chaotic and disorganized, and with fewer resources.
Of course, it is much harder for those trying to reform the corrupt GOP from within, or replace it, when the defection of your votes are placing the forces of "Satan" in charge.
Best be careful we don't kill the Republic for your right to be right.

So they are like Protestant Christians, and will create the greatest, most free nation that has ever existed, and will even in modern times, vote against the democrat party and always vote republican? You might want to try another approach.
