And how many Libertarian candidates have won a presidential election in US history? None. None have ever come close. Is there any reason to believe one who could not even win his congressional primary could do it? Of course not. The idea is absurd.
If he were on that hypothetical stage righ those extremely hypothetical candidates (Ted Cruz is not going to run again), the worst who could do is help the fascist or commie win (like TR in 1912 or Perot in 1992). He still would lose. And by helping the ultra-radical Left gain power hd would solidify his position as one of the greatest traitors in American history.
Ted Cruz (or whichever hypothetical Republican you prefer) would be the one helping the left win in that scenario. He should step aside for a true conservative like Massie.
Very few conservatives agree with your perspective. Labeling Massie a "true conservative" is comical. He's more of a lone ranger mostly interested in himself and increasingly making bizarre public statements designed to alienate the voters. If that's not his purpose then he's a moron. Either way, his appeal is extremely narrow which takes me back to my previous conclusion: he is not a serious presidential contender.
Limited government, reduced spending, and a humble foreign policy sound pretty conservative to me. They sounded conservative to most people here when Trump was advocating them back in 2016. That was before he went full autocrat and MAGA turned into a personality cult. Very few self-proclaimed conservatives have any real principles.
OK, reverse that from the
DNC meaning twister and see the truth here:
Limited government by getting rid of unneeded bureaucrats and career political activists, reduced spending by eliminating fraud and waste, and only taking action in foreign policy where American interests are at stake were all hallmarks of the first Trump term.
Democrats like Sam, horrified by both these concepts and their popularity with regular Americans, have doubled efforts to demonize these ideas by twisting them to claim they are 'autocracy' and a 'cult'.
But almost no conservatives have fallen for the Leftists lies, even as MSM media and career politicians build their hopes on such bilge.
But career politicians, especially the Left, have long ago thrown away principle.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
