My guess is that you don't hear much from the libertarians because they
sound like a "fringe" party, way out there.


If they were so fringe, why did Harry Browne scare them so badly, they
shut him out of the debates after that? Of course some of it was Perot
too. He also asked questions about the economy that they were not
prepared to answer. They just want to read talking points from their
stump speech without any real questions.
BTW did you see the Stossel report on the elections? I know you would
not normally watch Stossel or Fox but it was a pretty good show. He
had Beckel and Rollins talking about how campaigns are really run.
They dissected various campaigns from Nixon on. They talk about how
the campaign keeps the candidate on message and how the whole thing is
more about image than substance. It was actually taped around 2012 so
Trump is not in it. It is worth a look if for nothing else, Beckel and
Rollins.
