This has been updated again.
Position scores now range from 0-3 to allow for more nuance.
Category updates:
"Iraq War opposition 2003-2016" -- Consolidated into one category. Trump gets a perfect score for his longtime opposition; Johnson gets one point out of three for opposing since 2011.
"Global warming hoax" -- Johnson sinks from 1/2 to 0/3 now that he has gone all in with this obscene lie.
"Mandatory poison injections." -- New category. Johnson gets a 0/3 for advocating a federal mandate to inject Americans with poisons. Trump's rhetoric remains good but could be better. 2/3 for Trump.
"Hillary for Prison" -- Trump has regained a perfect score after flirting with softer language. Johnson has been a bit more willing to discuss Hillary's crime lately, but still says she won't be prosecuted. Johnson moves up from 0/2 to 1/3.
"Gun rights" -- Johnson's co-President Weld continues to vocally back gun control laws and gungrabbing judges despite Johnson's positive rhetorical history on this issue. Johnson slips from 1/2 to 1/3.
New total Liberty scores:
Trump 33/36
Johnson 8/36

OLD UPDATE - OLD UPDATE FOLLOWS:
This has been revised. Trump's score on "Hillary for Prison" has dropped one point since he's been getting too soft.
Johnson's score on "weed" has been dropped from "for" to "mixed" because I had forgotten and now remembered that he pardoned zero people for cannabis possession as governor.
Johnson gun rights score has been dropped from "for" to "mixed", now that Weld says they will appoint hardcore gungrabbers to the SCOTUS. If Johnson doesn't do anything to get gungrabber Weld in line, that score may drop from 1 to 0 points in the future.
There's a new category called "Bush Crime Family." Trump gets two points there, Johnson 0.
There are some new categories on the Iraq war also. Special thanks to that guy with Mormon Beehive avatar who on a different thread did research confirming that Johnson said nothing against the Iraq War for eight years.
New total Liberty Scores:
Trump 25/28 --------------------- Johnson 10/28
