- Nicholas Sarwark, chairman of the Libertarian Party, on Sunday said the party is now looking to make inroads into the class of donors that usually bankrolls Republican candidates, including billionaires David and Charles Koch. “There’s backchannel communications to suggest to the Koch brothers that the return on their political investment would be a lot higher in the Libertarian Party, and we align better with their values than the Republican Party,” Mr. Sarwark said.

definitely interesting to see what the republican party would look like without donors of that size.

More interesting is what American politics might look like if the Libertarians manage to displace the Republicans. Without being distracted by "petty cruelty against people who have it hard enough already: yay or nay?" the conflict that matters is the economic one, and I don't think the Koch brother will fare well.
