I HOPE so.

Lots of liberal ideals in the libertarian party
The only thing I don't know is where the DNC will fall. If they don't move left, they'll lose the party. If they DO move left, they'll lose moderates/swings. MAYBE we get to a 3 party system, which IMO would be the best thing to come out of a Trump presidency.

Whether the left walks and Democrats become centrist or the party moves left and the middle join with socially liberal conservatives (my hope) is what I don't know

This would be ideal. For moderates like myself, I just can't vote for a lot of which GOP candidates in south stand for socially and I can't get behind the dems on fiscal issues. Trump is an a$$hole, but he is the best candidate to come out of the GOP in a long time and it really should not have been a surprise how the last election turned out. People that vote on principle rather than party were never going to vote for HRC even if they voted for Obama. I think the DNC underestimated how many of those Obama voters fell into this class. It would be wonderful if we had 3 parties. The prog nutcases, the ultra conservatives, and a party for the rest of the logical people in this country.

Someone said it on here before but I can't remember who. A party that campaigned on the policy of the government needs to stay out of my bedroom and my wallet would win landslide victories in this country.

so let's quickly review....

you have the executive branch that is 3rd party simply due to having to run as ®....let's not forget he threatened to run (I)

and you think a 3rd party will make a difference????

LMMFAO.......

you're simply begging to get run over by the dem-dumptruck-dixie-dumpsters......

have fun with that ideology......

this is why I gave 'da finga' to my political and econ profs..........

IMO, it simply doesn't make a lick of sensei......
