Can a third party candidate win?

You act as though libertarians will suddenly remove all laws.  How many times to I have to say libertarianism is not anarchism.  Did you not read the part where I said he puts each law through a cost benefit analysis before he decides to veto it or not? Why don't you actually look at their results before you make judgement call?  NM and MA were very happy with both terms that Gary Johnson and Bill Weld served and they are very blue states, so I don't think you have too much to worry about.

As far as collusion of business goes. Yes. I acknowledge that can happen in the absence of government. Even Randians believe that one of the few roles governments should take in the free market should be to break up trusts. Adam Smith said this in "Wealth of Nations". But monopolies and oligopolies cannot become nearly as powerful in a truly free market if there's no big government lobby or central bank to bail it out or to pass laws giving them leverage over the little guy. Do you really think Hillary Clinton, given her sponsors, will stand up to corporatists and break up trusts? Of course not! The reason why there hasn't been a trust busting president since TR is because the big corporations haven't just been colluding with themselves, they've been colluding WITH government.
