Libertarian Rise?

This article discusses how two of the best known (and most disliked) candidates, Clinton and Trump, have made the Libertarian Party relevant. Anthony Fisher mentions how candidates are required to be polling at least 15 percent nationally to make it to the main stage, and how the Green and Libertarian Parties fought this with a lawsuit. One of the most interesting things Fisher talks about is that while 2016 could be an interesting year for the LP, it's hard to determine what success looks like.

Fisher writes:

"Is the goal the White House, or just altering the national conversation by getting on the main debate stage? The LP knows voters want an alternative, but the party continues to struggle with its sales pitch and structural realities of a two-party system that marginalizes alternative choices."
