The libertarian party represent true libertarians, the smarter libertarians want to take over the GOP and make it a part of the liberal DNC, except with conservative economics.
We can expect to see more Romneys, and rinos in the future.
You are a kooky conspiracy theorist when it comes to libertarians.
Looks to me like the GOP has been turned into part of the DNC without the libertarians having much to do with it. The “conservative economics” don’t appear to be represented anywhere. Romney as libertarian is absurd. He has never identified as such, and is not embraced in any way by libertarians of any party.
