Unfortunately it may be that Donald Trump would be best for libertarians in the long-run, even though he isn't much of a libertarian. By cleaning out the deep state and crushing the credibility of the MSM and establishment, we may find a much more clear path to political power in the future.
But I'm certainly open to other options.

I tend to agree here. Trump is quietly doing some things that are very libertarian. He may well be there by 2020.

I would first need a list of people willing to run before I could give an opinion.

If they're any good they should run as Republicans.

John Boehner is pro-marijuana. He is a shoe-in for Libertarian POTUS candidate.

It's William Weld's turn. He's waited paitiently. And he's the "Original Libertarian" ...
Boehner can be VP. (Or maybe Paul Ryan, since he's free now.)

Ron Paul if he was 20 years younger.

Larry Sharpe should have been the VP candidate last time. He's one of the few competent people involved with "the party".

Dr No certainly has lost a step but would put the party over the 5% mark needed for consistent ballot access and maybe even 15% to be in the debates. But I don't think he ran in 2016 partly because he didn't want to hurt Rand's chances.
Very well spoken and has military service so his cutting military stance has umpf. Not a household name but would do well in media interviews.

I think Ron Paul was on his knees praying every night thanking the Lord that Rand ran in 2016 taking the pressure off him to put himself through that shit again.
yep, Kokesh for the LP ticket in 2020 has my vote - because the LP needs a firebrand rather than the milquetoast they've been nominating... if a miracle of miracles happens and the LP candidate debates Trump in 2020, only a firebrand like Kokesh will be able to articulate a coherent libertarian message when faced with a barrage of nonsense.

I take it you aren't aware that Petersen is running for the Senate as a Republican as I type this sentence. Not only is he connected, he joined the syndicate itself!

Nobody is not only electable, but he/she/whateveryourpreferedpronoun actually won the last election.
I wouldn't mind seeing that naked guy from the LP convention run. I'm curious about the face tattooed on his thigh. It kinds looks like Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice but I'm not sure.

I like Ron Paul at any age. If Ron would be will to run, he'd be a slam dunk nominee.
As far as Trump, I see issues with NAP and National Debt that would ever allow him to be the LP candidate. You can't be a LP candidate and promise a $1 trillion per year defense budget.
Oh, and "Take the guns first."
