Yeah Hancock might be the best guy to represent the movement, but unfortunately he is a life long Libertarian and therefore will never get nominated by Republicans. That's the truth.
I was just saying that if not only being a Libertarian briefly, but even representing their party on a national ticket isn't enough for him to lose the GOP nomination when he wasn't the incumbent, I don't think it would be as much of a factor as you claim it will be. Then again, I'm probably just being way too optimistic here.
