Due to the staggering incompetence of Donald Trump, the Republican Party base falls apart.
Meanwhile the Democrats respond by doubling down on Hiliary Clinton thinking this time she's got him. Destroying their base too. But instead of not voting or holding their nose and voting for the least worthy candidate, a successful social media campaign leads to 50 million people flocking to vote 3rd party. As a result Libertarians win the presidency in the most shocking upset since Henry Edward Duke, 1st Baron Merrivale in 1911 when he won an election by a single vote. How do you react? --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

My reaction would be fair, next.
That's how the process is supposed to work. Get the required electoral votes and you get the nice office in that cool-looking house. Maybe I wouldn't be a big fan of the Pres, but there's always the next election to look forward to, and I certainly wouldn't be crying about it. --- ... ... Copied to Clipboard!

The only way a Libertarian wins in 2020 is if they run independent. I doubt the Libertarian party will be nominating an actual Libertarian anytime soon.

if the Dems start seriously pushing Clinton again, they deserve to lose
also I feel like a genuine right-libertarian would have a hard time getting any policies through Congress unless they all got voted out too, especially social ones. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also it'd be interesting to see what the Libertarian candidates EC vote share is.
Also depending on which party controls the senate and congress things might get interesting. If the GOP controls both of em the Lib Prez would govern like a standard Republican --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.

I don't see it happening in 2020. But I do think Trump and to some extent Bernie paved the way for a 3rd party winner down the line. I doubt it will be Libertarian though. As much as I agree with that philosophy, their party is shit, the community is pretty shit, and they keep running Gary Johnson who is a joke. Is that really the best they can do?

There might be some outrage at first, but then people would realize that being extreme and acting like toddlers is the reason a Libertarian is in the big chair in the first place. The political climate would change, politics would be taken seriously again and more rational thinking and behavior will result. The Libertarian will not do much if any damage to the country in the four years they are in office, and a sensible, patriotic Democrat or Republican would take office in 2028. Civil War would not be a serious topic of discussion for at least a decade after that. --- This signature only exists because my post would be eccentric without it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

what would probably happen is the administration would push a hardcore conservative economic agenda, and compromise with the social conservatives in Congress to get shit done
