Republicans are not going to win over the non-aligned by screaming “spoiler” and calling us juveniles or idiots if we don’t obey your orders to shut up and vote for your ticket. Ask our parents if that worked on us as children; rebels don’t turn into sheep just because we added a few decades of rings to our tree.

If the GOP convention adopts some libertarian-friendly platform planks that don’t conflict with conservative goals – audit the Fed is a no-brainer - the GOP can attract all the votes it needs to win without resorting to name-calling or bullying. Libertarians oppose force and fraud on principle; try a little persuasion or (gasp) compromise. A great point there.........repubs in general, (myself included), scream about repubs working with the dims..........I mean if the repubs must back off a stance....why not work with the libertarians instead of the dims?
