We are about to have the chance to get another liberty candidate into the U.S. Senate.   Austin Petersen is going to run for a Missouri Senate seat.  Check out  Austin Petersen's Freedom Ninja Army on Face Book.  #RiseofLiberty

If he had won the nomination for the Libertarian Party, I probably would have voted LP this past election.

I hear this all of the time.  I was a Petersen volunteer and it drives me nuts.

The LP went with the name instead of the best candidate.  They also failed to see the opportunity to grab dissatisfied social conservatives from the GOP this election cycle in choosing Johnson.  They essentially hemmed themselves in on both sides.  Johnson was too moderate to liberal on social/cultural issues to sway enough GOP voters.  But there was no way he was going to snag enough Democrat voters to make up that lack with someone as crazy as Trump on the other side.

Perfect analysis.
