Wow, I guess there is really no hope for the liberty movement. I come into this thread and recommend one of the best written books on marketing of all time, and this is the response I get from the "experts" that have never gotten anyone elected and probably have never had any experience actually...
Because the "innovators" and "early adopters" are always a very small segment in any market. There just aren't enough of them. The early and late majority account for something like 66% of the market.

And yet you completely ignore the reasons I stated as to why they failed; Trump, and idiot libertarians too stupid to see what he was trying to do, who refused to donate money to allow him to get his message out. Carry on. I look forward to your candidacy so you can teach Rand Paul how to get...
