Best candidates for Libertarian Party 2020

[PierzStyx]

you also consistently defend leftists who want to increase the size, scope and power of government.

What are you talking about? I'm not defending you in anyway.


As to everything else, ad hominem attacks are the kind of logical fallacies people start throwing out when they've reached the intellectual limits of their arguments and know there is no response but their pride won't let them "lose" so they turn to Plan B hoping no one will notice they failed.

So I guess we really are done for today.

Peter Schiff is a possibility. He's a good speaker, says that the Fed is printing out of control, loves gold, has authored 5+ books.

Peter Schiff is a possibility. He's a good speaker, says that the Fed is printing out of control, loves gold, has authored 5+ books.

And people have heard Adam Schiff's name just often enough. So, they'll be confused enough to look him up, and then they'll actually remember his name.

 

[Anti Federalist]

You want someone to put a gun to my head and force me to obey your will and wear your shackles or be beaten, caged, or killed. I don't care if the list of things you want to do that to me on is big or small, you're all the same. You petty dictators are the problem, not the solution. Free men do not need to be governed.

You enable and embolden the tyrants that wish to rob me, beat me and put me in a cage, if not outright exterminate me.

You petty Quislings are all the same, the problem, not the solution.

Free men do not need petty collaborators and apologists.

Mike Rowe.

 

[CaptUSA]

Mike Rowe.

Yeah, he’ll never do politics. And I doubt he could stomach being in a “party”. But if it were to ever happen, I’d support him regardless of banner.

 

[Occam's Banana]

That applies to all the best answers to this particular question ... (Ron Paul being the proverbial rule-testing exception ...)

I owe you rep.

Give us your thoughts on who would be the best for libertarians to run for president in 2020 and why.

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.)

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

Adam Kokesh 2020

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 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."

Still waiting for that Libertarian wave. Ron did well at using his role as a podium from which to espouse libertarian values from. But that neither he nor anyone even close to his positions has won is telling I think. Amash is probably the closest, but he is far from as public or famous a figure as Ron.

I like Ron at any age too but he'll be in his mid 80s by the time the next election comes around. I much prefer a Ron where I don't have to worry about him dying in office.

How about Ron/Rand ticket. Rand is no Ron, but there is a good chance Ron could be very productive into his 90s. Heck, Jimmie Carter is still kicking it around these days.

Penn Jillette

Three ideas! WELD/RYAN or JILLETTE/KOKESH or PAUL/PAUL ???

Again... depending on what message one wants or needs? Weld/Ryan cuts inroads into GOP and banks on the tax cut as it ignores the bigger national debt. RAND PAUL for POTUS has his own father being part of the loop in terms of security clearances when needing him for advice. Penn Jillette is level headed, Adam Kokesh is energetic and sincere.

Paul/Paul is my first choice, but probably 0% they would do it. After that I like Jillette/Kokesh or Jillette/X. Weld/Ryan has some issues. Ryan has talked of limited spending but it looks like he has been a puppet of the GOP spending machine all his career. Jillette is a name I'm most excited about. I don't know if he has any interest,

Weld/Ryan would never get my vote, Jillette/Kokesh I don't know enough about but I would consider giving them my vote depending on who was running against them, Paul/Paul would get my vote for sure.

Newt 2020

 

[Sammy]

Tom Woods & Dave Smith should run...

 

[messana]

Second for Dave Smith.

The office of the presidency is a joke. An actual comedian would make a good fit.

 

[AZJoe]

 

[Superfluous Man]

Atheist which could rally votes and wake the sheeple up.

Uhhhh, what?

DAVE SMITH

 

[USAFCapt]

DAVE SMITH

He's a great speaker and would do well in debates. Woods/Smith is sounding good. Here is Dave Smith on Ari Shaffir's podcast:
