If the crooked duopoly of the Democrat & Republican parties and their main stream media pimps had an ounce of honesty and fairness about them, Any candidate for, and who’s name will appear on enough ballots to possibly capture enough electoral votes to win the election should be automatically included in any and all media sponsored national debate for the Presidency.
The libertarian ticket for the Presidency will appear on all 50 ballots for the Presidency. The duopoly’s rules to be included in the national debate is a candidate must poll 15 %. By what authority do the duopoly party’s get to set the rules for the national debate and particularly such a draconian requirement as the 15% rule which is controlled by the fact that to reach 15% a candidate must get media exposure and the main stream media is controlled by the DNC/RNC racketeers. How much media coverage do you suppose will be allowed to the libertarian ticket and the fact that they will qualify for, and be on all 50 ballots? By what means do you recommend that non-duopoly candidates garner the required 15% to join the national debate? Do you even care that your only choice to observe the national debate belongs to the duopoly’s Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, two known felons?
Yeah, because 15 % is such a high bar....
Here is a suggestion: if you want your party included in the debate, maybe you should try and make your party appeal to people. Until then, it is libertarians own fault they are not included at the big boy events.
My suggestion for someone trying to run a third-party candidate is to have a platform that isn't as childish as libertarianism.

Libertarianism is fundamentally socially liberal and economically conservative.
Any fool can make accusations. Presenting a rational case to back up accusations is another animal.
I'll look forward to your extensive presentation of evidence revealing the "childish" political positions of libertarianism. I won't hold my breath!

Libertarianism takes a sixth grader's level of economic knowledge and applies it blindly and stubbornly. It's taking the first couple weeks of econ 101 and deciding you understand how an economy functions. This is like taking Physics 101 and deciding you can be an engineer now. it's not that physics 101 is wrong, it's that it leaves you in a world of frictionless planes in a vacuum and instantaneous forces applied to perfectly rigid points of mass. It's inadequate to really describe the complexities of the world.
Libertarian is a wide range of ideas about exactly how small a government "should" be, but inevitably the ideology takes precedence of practicality. There's some strange underlying assumption that the "invisible hand" knows what's best, and that the market will sort out its own issues when there are uncountable numbers of historical precedents to the contrary.
Worse. When you say stuff like that last sentence, libertarians seem to translate this as "liberals think the government knows best/is the answer to everything"
A libertarian president will not do much of anything in DC. Both the Dem's & Repub's will bloody him mercilessly for 4 years.
i think that we'd be better off without any political parties. run on your ideas, not your team.
George Washington and I had, have those same sentiments.
Fair enough.
I think we'd have to revamp the 'winner take all' aspect of our national election. For example, what if a Libertarian candidate took enough electoral votes to deny anyone a majority of the Electoral College votes?
Then the House decides, and no one wants that.
