Every four years some Libertarians look for the lesser of evils.

That makes absolutely no sense. Libertarians are libertarians because they claim to have deep, pure ideological reasons to not be Republicans or Democrats. If they go with the lesser of two evils as you put it, they are nothing but LINO types -- not true libertarians. They may as well join one of the two major parties, where they could at least have some influence, no matter how small.

To some the issue is not so crystal clear
:
The Lesser of Two Evils

The choice before Americans is not, as a rule, between good and evil but between two evils. You can let the Democrats rule the world; that is evil; or you can overthrow them by voting in the Republicans, which is also evil. There is no other choice before you.

The lesser-of-two-evils crowd admits that both options are evil, but maintain, like Orwell did, that one is less evil than the other. Orwell was a clever chap, and it is my suspicion that the majority of readers would agree with his logic, which could readily be applied to voting; they might say something about the "real world" and the impracticalities or hypocrisies of pacifism and anarchism and personalism and all other forms of "utopian" thinking that promote the conquering of evil with something other than evil, and I can forgive Orwell his pragmatism and compromise with the world because he was certainly an ambiguous and lukewarm Christian, if he was a Christian at all, and while he may have considered himself a member of the Church of England and believed in a certain Judeo-Christian moral code, he did not, it has been suggested by scholars, believe in an afterlife or in the eternity of the soul.

Well Cruz has gone full blown establishment so I guess this move makes sense for libertarians.
