I'm reasonably certain you've mixed up stereotypes. The staunchest defenders of the free market are keeping busy retreating back to the Democratic Party because it serves their interests more than the Republican Party does. They did the reverse in the 80s (hence "neoconservative") for the same reasons.
Oh that's a good point, I had just autocapitalized "Free Market™" (and tacked on that ™ symbol) in my brain reading the comment. I forgot that the words have actual meaning too. Yeah probably those guys are mostly holding their nose and backing Gary Johnson. :)
