The LP is not going for the Ross Perot model of winning elections, in which
one takes the top office but nothing else. The LP is working for change at
all levels.
Therefore if a Libertarian gets elected president, it stands to reason that
the party will be strong enough to also elect a great many congressmen and
senators. Perhaps not a majority, but enough to get significant work done.
So I guess I'd say that I disagree with your statement, as it wasn't very
well thought out.
