And "federal funding" is a drop in the bucket.  That's not the hurdle or catalyst that's going to make the Libertarian party relevant.  It's not going to happen at the Presidential level - you have to start electing Libertarians to Congress, and at the state level...and for that to happen, Libertarians have to actually RUN in those elections.

I'm a Libertarian, but I'm realistic.  If I was in a contested state, I'd be voting for Hillary....because a vote for Johnson won't help keep the ******* from winning.

Well hell if you live in say CA, you are basically throwing your vote away if you vote Republican.  Or voting Dem in one of the square states.  Maybe people whose party has no chance of winning a state can vote 3rd party, and up their percentages.
