Yes, you read that right.  And no, I have not gone off the deep end.

I am not supporting, endorsing, or voting for Hillary Clinton.  In fact, I think she is among the worst human beings on this planet.  She is a career criminal who should be locked up in a cell for the rest of her pitiful life.

So why would I even suggest a libertarian case for Hillary Clinton?

To be sure, I am not at all cheering for Hillary Clinton.  In fact, I am somewhat cheering for Donald Trump.  He is far from being a libertarian.  Trump is terrible on economic issues, especially dealing with trade.

However, I do appreciate the fact that Donald Trump has stared down political correctness and the entire rotten establishment.  If both the Bushes and Clintons despise Trump, then he must not be all bad.  He also said that the Iraq War was based on lies, yet still managed to get the Republican nomination.  I am not sure if anyone but Trump could have accomplished that feat.

Trump is a wildcard and we don’t know what we will get if he becomes president.  He could be the one chance for a major shift in foreign policy.  On the other hand, he does seem to have something of an authoritarian streak in him, which can be dangerous for liberty.

This had me thinking about the consequences of a Hillary Clinton presidency.  I think the worst aspect is just knowing that there are that many American voters willing to support her.

But if voter turnout is low for a presidential election, and third-party candidates get several percentage points of the vote, then it may not be such a great mandate for her.  Her husband (or should I say business partner) won the election in 1992 with just 43% of the vote.

There is no question that Hillary Clinton is a serial liar and a criminal.  She will be as corrupt as they come in the White House.  But the occupants of the White House have been corrupt for a long time now.

She scares me on foreign policy, which is the one major reason I hesitate in making any kind of case for her.  Still, I don’t think she will intentionally start any major wars (China or Russia), even though she is poking her stick at Putin in Russia.  I am not sure that even the military-industrial complex would want to see such a war.  She would likely continue with conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Aside from foreign policy, just imagine how inept and impotent Hillary would be as president.  She has ongoing scandals.  I see conservative sites running articles about the Clinton body count, which is all of the people associated with the Clintons who have mysteriously died.  You could take a survey of Americans, and it wouldn’t surprise me if nearly a quarter of the adult population thought she was involved in murdering people (foreign policy aside).

Imagine the constant investigations and inquiries with her as president, even with the establishment media mostly on her side.  Between classified emails and the Clinton Foundation, she would be under constant attack.  There are always new scandals appearing with the Clintons.

The majority of Americans would have little respect for the president, which I think is a good thing from a liberty perspective.  It means she would not have a mandate.

If the Republicans still control the House (which is likely), then she would not get through any major domestic items (like we saw with Obamacare).  To be sure, the government would still be spending and wasting trillions of dollars per year, but that would happen under a Trump presidency too.

Libertarians talk about withdrawing consent.  The only way to scale back big government is for the populace to withdraw their consent.  If Americans see the president as a liar and criminal, what better way is there to have a withdrawal of consent?

In addition, it is likely that we will see an economic downturn, if not soon, then almost certainly in the next 4 years.  Hillary Clinton can take the blame for this, or maybe try to blame Obama.  It gets a lot more difficult to blame the Republicans, even with a Republican majority in the Congress.  Americans tend to blame the party in the White House.

As an added bonus, if Hillary Clinton is president, then the investigations on her will continue.  We may actually get to see the day where she walks in chains to a jail cell.

Overall, a Hillary presidency would be a train wreck, which could actually be somewhat positive for our liberty.  She does not have the charm that Bill possessed.  She doesn’t have a likability factor at all.

In conclusion, there are no reasons for any libertarian to consider supporting Hillary Clinton in any way.  But if she is elected president, it may not be as bad for liberty as many think.  If her bad health doesn’t stop her, then American public opinion should.  More and more Americans view her (correctly) as a liar and a criminal.  This is a benefit to the cause of liberty.
