What would happen if the GOP goes Libertarian?

[War on Want]

You need to specify what you mean by Libertarian. That could mean one out of ten things, all of them very different. Anyways the GOP should moderate itself not go Libetarian. Right wing economics still isn't that popular and of course being conservative on social issues is a losing battle. Basically they need to be more like Crist.

Duke's right, but I like maps so I made one about where the GOP would gain and lose ground were it to start moving libertarian (assuming those moves aren't drastic).

here's my map but this is assuming the GOP stays far to the right on economics:

my map is more optimistic for the Republicans.

[War on Want]

2016:

Mark Kirk/Huntsman vs. Joe Sestak/Mike Capuano

2020:

Joe Sestak/Mike Capuano vs. Ryan Frazier/Kay Bailey Hutchinson

2024:

Ryan Frazier/Justin Reynolds(pm of +6,+2 from New Hampshire, Representative) vs. Populist Bro/Leftist Guy

This could happen but for this scenario to work I made some odd things happen. In an oil crisis Sestak pledges to use synthetic oil to relieve the crisis. Kirk opposes this in an odd twist and this is when the GOP starts attracting more young moderates along with Kirk's moderate image. Frazier becomes an environmentalist(for a Republican) and barely wins the nomination on the strength of the youth. He doesn't do well among blacks but barely wins due to the stagnant nature of the tech industry with so many subsidies going to the Rust Belt.
Yeah this is really unrealistic.
