    A plan that depends on everyone spontaneously deciding to do what you think is best is no plan at all.

      I just think that most people would like to have Government out of their wallet and personal lives. If those people all voted for a candidate who wanted the same, then change could happen.

        Most people aren’t libertarians.

        And there’s little to no historical precedent for people spontaneously uniting around a third party candidate. There is, OTOH, precedent for the spoiler effect causing an unpopular candidate to win.
