I have long felt that Libertarians would vastly increase their political power if, instead of supporting candidates who cannot win, they would as a party primary select one of the real candidates whom they would support.
This would make them a key voting bloc up for grabs by both parties, rather than the oddball spoiler role they play with zero chance at having any influence in government.
The leaders of this movement are not interested in increasing the total power of the libtard movement .(which is different from true John Stossel style libertarians) - they want to be big fish in their small pond of pure irrelevance .
This is why no third party is the answer, because any party management attracts scum by definition .
