Exactly, he'd be a lame duck President on inauguration day forward. Getting rid of the Fed, eliminating Federal Education $, etc. are horrible ideas and would garner no support regardless of party affiliation.

I have a severe problem with Anarchists pretending to be Libertarians.

Libertarians are NOT against regulations to create a fair marketplace and to limit one's impediment on another. One of the first cases by the Supreme Court (appointed by Washington himself), was the rule on water usage. One is allowed to damn a river on his property (for milling and textile use) ONLY when it does not prevent the free flow of water to the people who own property down river. It set in the earliest (purest) precedents the right of the local, state, and federal governments to regulate industry to prevent damage to another individual's property, industry, etc.
