Could this be the Libertarians' moment?

OK, so assuming the GOP elite flameout in their attempt to either rig the nomination or form an independent bid. Could this be the moment for Gary Johnson to finally achieve. say, the mid-single-digits? I mean, he's not ideal, but certainly better than most normal third party nominees (a popular executive, from New Mexico and isn't a crook). He could actually make a dual pitch to expand his base (doctinaire libertarians will whine, but who gives a crap)

- Sanders supporters that are angry they've been denied the chance to have an anti-establishment figure in office. The Sanders coalition id ideologically heterodox and can be peeled away by a targeted campaign and emphasising to a lesser degree, err, certain aspects of the libertarian agenda.

- A Bayrou-esque appeal towards the moderate centre alarmed by TRUMPISM and wanting a fairly experienced hand.

I mean the problem with thirs parties is they are full of loons, but I can easily manage a somewhat credible Libertarian platform drawing from parties like the Free Democratic Party, the Lib Dems and the Icelandic Pirate Party. You would have to ouster the Ancaps, the racists, the paleos etc. though.
