This would have to be an organic, ground-level takeover. Every four years the LP makes a big deal out of running a National presidential ticket, but at a more local level, it’s largely the Wild West of political candidates. I’ve lived in seven states and in every one of them, the local LP was usually just grateful to have someone listening to them. So the opening is definitely there for a large influx of motivated, politically active, civic-minded individuals to come in a begin to take the reigns of the whole cart over. It wouldn’t even be a hostile takeover but rather an “energy infusion” to a legitimate third party contender for those Patriots who are completely disgusted by the Dems and the GOP. Think Gary Johnson, except we actually know where Aleppo is and why it matters. Again, this would not be a cakewalk and it certainly wouldn’t get the sort of instant gratification results that some people are looking for. But it offers a long term, realistic path to begin the process of actually getting our hat in the ring and our name in the fight.

Also, I'm feeling in the mood for writing out the planks of a proper America First Patriot Libertarian Party, based largely around the principles of the Declaration of Independence.
