Libertarian Voting Republican?

I was speaking to the mayor of Red Bank, TN recently. He is a great guy personally and also a pretty conservative fellow, politically. We've known each other about 5 years, and thoroughly enjoy speaking to each other about politics.

He asked me:
"Are you going to vote in the Republican Primary next year? For whom? Would you vote for a Republican in the main election?"

Great questions. And I had this post written already, so it was easy to amend before it posted to include his question.

As of Wednesday, July 8, 2015, the announced candidates for the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination include:
Jeb Bush
Ben Carson
Chris Christie
Ted Cruz
Carly Fiorina
Lindsey Graham
Mike Huckabee
Bobby Jindal
George Pataki
Rand Paul
Rick Perry
Marco Rubio
Rick Santorum
Donald Trump
Scott Walker (expected to run)

My thoughts on each category, and on each person and why:

Will not vote for them in the primary, and will not vote for them in the general election:
Jeb Bush - is an explanation necessary?
Chris Christie - Liberal Statist (LS)
Mike Huckabee - LS
George Pataki - LS

Will not vote for them in the primary, but might vote for them in the general election:
Ted Cruz
Carly Fiorina
Lindsey Graham
Rick Perry
Marco Rubio - could get bumped to the worst category. 
Rick Santorum - could get bumped to the worst category. 

Might vote for them in the primary, and would vote for them in the general election:
If my most preferred is no longer in the primary, and in this order...
Ben Carson
Bobby Jindal
Donald Trump

Would vote for them in the primary, and would vote for them in the general election:
And in this order...
Rand Paul
Scott Walker (expected to run)
