So IMO it seems the best possible performance for a third party would be a celebrity running on the Libertarian Party, combining the Libertarian Party's ruthless efficiency with ballot access and logistics with the publicity a celebrity candidate can get.

IMO the absolute pinnacle would be Mark Cuban, a libertarian-minded billionaire who can self fund and has been on TV for years.

Do you all agree that that'd be the best possible set up for a third party candidate to actually break through to a mainstream audience?

IMO too many celebrity/self funder candidates envision an Independent run, which is basically adding huge logistical hurdles for yourself, when using fame and money to subvert and capture the Libertarian Party would be way more cost effective.
