To be clear - I am NOT claiming that Trump himself is some sort of neo-Libertarian or is now following some deeper principles. Simply that he now seems to be more influenced from certain Libertarians (or maybe has some loose alliance there). I'm convinced there is something there, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
So I see this somewhat differently - more of a newer Libertarian twist than any influence from a bygone Dem party. You actually hit exactly on such a case why it matters - I fear Trump may end up pardoning Snowden or something reckless like that.

Pardoning Snowden would be a blip on the radar compared to some of the things he's done so far....
Possibly; but it's also true that "traitor" ranks pretty high.
