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.

Well I live in the south, (Virginia) and I have been a Conservative since I voted for Reagan in 1980. I'm curious as to what you think my beliefs are? Socially that is.
