Sort of a libertarian neocon with some socially conservative views, so I voted.

I picked "Other" because I support Rubio, but out of these, Cruz, followed by Paul and then Johnson.

libertarian neocon....those things are kind of mutually exclusive...
How so? I'm a libertarian at home and a neocon abroad because both support freedom and democracy.

Neocons are fairly socially liberal.
Yep. I'm opposed to the death penalty, support greater immigration, and think that gay marriage should be legal, so that makes me fairly socially liberal for a Republican.

He's more likely to win and less isolationist.
Sure, but the thing that is supposed to unify most libertarians is at least a vague/moderate interpretation of the non-aggression principle. Neoconservatism sometimes supports overthrowing democracies and planting military all over the world and keeping them there until deemed 'safe'. Nothing about that is libertarian or non-aggressive. I'm a moderate myself, and very much think libertarians have to accept the moderates and all forms of libertarians, but I would say you have to at least be skeptical of interventionist foreign policy to be considered one, otherwise its not consistent.
That's not neoconservatism. That's realpolitik. Neoconservatism always supports democracy, and is an inherently idealistic ideology.
Yea same on the first 2 issues but I still consider myself relatively socially conservative with other issues involved like states rights, abortion, drugs, anti discrimination provisions.
Overall, I'm socially conservative, but relative to the Republican Party, I'm somewhat liberal.
Left-libertariancommunist, right libertariancommunist, I don't give a damn.  The only GOOD libertariancommunist is a DEAD one!
