That's because libertarians and their ideas are retarded and nobody likes them. How many people like Trump and his ideas which were already tried and tested? Saddling yourself with the GOP, whose entire purpose is to lose, isn't just starting out behind the 8-ball but remaining behind it forever. Trump already did the heavy lifting with breaking people out of that trap, we have the numbers, all that'd be left is to organize things. Then all the retarded establishment theater like the "debates" become as irrelevant as Biden's ghost-town rallies.
