I disagree. Rand, in particular, doesn't have libertarian values. He has some positions that overlap with libertarian values, and other positions that are totally antithetical to libertarian values. He is a Republican who happens to be somewhat more libertarian than some other Republicans; particularly the evangelical wing of the party.

They drive libertarianism in this US, not Gary Johnson.
One group of people has consistently flown under the Republican banner, including the Kochs, who consistently support Republican candidates. Another group consistently self-identifies as libertarian. Yet you choose to see the former as the "real libertarians" and the latter as something else. I reiterate that you are confused.
