What if there was a U.S. right-wing third party that was as big as the Green Party?

I feel like the LP has become more and more of what you describe since Ron Paul's 2008 campaign and the Tea Party emergence

The thing is the Libertarian party’s independence from the Republican party is under threat. They’re withdrawing from even safe R races just because the Mises caucus hates democrats and selling their headquarters, they’re risking to become separated and divvied up to what the constitution party is now or what labor and the Vermont progressives are to the democrats. It’s sad what could have been is being strangled by the current leadership.

For sure, the party is slowly becoming more of a republican shell corporation than its own entity. I wouldn't be surprised if the constitution party emerged as the go to for libertarians in the next 10 to 20 years.

A significant amount of constitution voters have applied entryist tactics into the libertarian party, and Blankenship already kowtowed to trump.
