Libertarians and Socialist Conservatives?
The 1969 YAF national convention ended with the expulsion of some
libertarian and anarchist members--but by then, many of the more radical students had already connected with each other.
Libertarians and other third-party candidates have never won state elections in Texas and rarely make a meaningful difference in election results, with one big exception: As spoilers.
