What difference does it make to get matching funds if the Libertarian Party isn't libertarian? They're not going to compete just by the nature of matching funds, that hasn't happened in the past and it won't in 2020. Johnson and Weld have given me absolutely zero reason to vote for them.
You're all voting for Johnson so the LP gets matching funds, right?

To become a major party, the LP is going to have to keep bringing forward candidates with positive name recognition and as much governing experience as possible. It would be great if one of these also believed in every plank of the platform, but not likely.
I really hope there can someday be enough liberty congressmen that an Amash or Massie can afford to shave off and run for pres on the LP ticket.

If I were the guy pulling switches, I would establish "The American [or State] Party for the Constitutional Republic" and in general speech refer to as "Constitutional Republicans." Gather every American that just wants a government to obey the Constitution. Start explicitly from the bottom up, run School Board, Municipal Board, County Commission. Elect enough of those for noise to be made and then run Mayors and Sheriffs. Elect enough of those for noise to be made and then run State Legislators and Senators. Elect enough of those to have an impact and then run Governor and Congress. Elect enough of those to have an impact and then run President. Guaranteed 30-year total victory for a constitution oriented Party, but when you are making your own luck this way sometimes things can happen very fast.
The American Party for the Constitutional Republic
The North Carolina Party for the Constitutional Republic
Bottom up. No Presidential rock star is going to come along and save the day.
We could totally do it and we could totally win, but is anybody really willing to start electing the school boards and then work their way up step by step stacking the bottom with Constitutional Republicans before moving up the food chain?
