this last presidential election, the libertarian party broke the record for their share of the popular vote in the general election. And that was with a candidate who was by far the weakest candidate in their primary field.
Ive seen some libertarians advocate for going GOP and "change from within"---make the repub platform more libertarian. Rand Paul is doing this, with mixed results. Austin Petersen is also running for a seat under the GOP brand. Other libertarians are arguing that now is the time to capitalize on many right leaning voters aapprehensions about the trump admin and try to grow the party.
Fellow libertarians, what are your thoughts on this discussion, and also, what would you like to see the LP do to increase its viability as a national political organization.
