Not possible.
Libertarians have no organization; no structure; no plans; no strategy; no coordination; and no leadership.
You need only to look around to see that. What they do have, is lots and lots and lots of talk. Yeah, we know they can talk the talk, but they can't walk the walk. The Libertarians failed for the same reason the Social Party, and the Socialist Worker's Party and the Communist Party and all other 3rd Parties fail.
If was a political consultant to the Libertarian Party -- and I'm qualified to do that, the Libertarians would control 30%-40% of all school boards in the US; 30%-40% of all incorporated and unincorporated townships; 25%-30% of all counties; 40%-60% of all municipalities under 500,000 people if not through mayor-ship or voting block, then through both; members on all major cities over 500,000 if not at least 10%-15% out-right mayor-ships; 15%-20% of all State legislatures; one to three governorships; and 10%-20% of Congress;.....and then they'd be in a position to gain to the presidency.
The fact that Libertarians have not or cannot do that, speaks volumes about them.
Voters today are not really that much more sophisticated than voters in the 18th or 19th Centuries, but they are sophisticated and worldly in other ways, and the nature of the majority of people is that they need to see to believe.
And the end of the day, most reasonable people are from Missouri, so what have Libertarians shown people?
Nothing.
If Libertarians can't even run a damn school board, then they aren't even remotely worthy of sitting on the presidential toilet.

Heston was a model Conservative, a great person, and wonderful actor. When I was in the MDW, I got to see him a couple of times, but never got a chance to meet him in person. I would like to have done that.

Welfare leeches are inconvenient, hated and nobody wants them around, so can we abort them?
Conveniently...
