No, the majority are not Libertarian. Only an immature child thinks an entity the size and level of technological advancement of the United States could return to Wild West Frontier type America and make that work.

You clearly don't understand. Being Libertarian has nothing to do with suggesting that the US return to the Frontier Days.
Michael Medved put it very well a couple of weeks ago on his show. A majority are apathetic. I would add that a majority are ignorant. More people can name the 3 stooges than the 3 branches of government. That is the real majority.
That said, I've always thought that a lot of Americans now tend towards economic conservatism/social liberalism, filtered thru a prism of pragmatism. A 3rd party built around that could draw a lot of votes, IMO, but perhaps would have trouble raising much money. What special interest group or rent seeker would want anything to do with such a party?
Minorities will survive by having the will to survive without a government handout.
First off, no one is forcing "minorities" to take a government handout.
Secondly, "minorities" are not a monolithic or homogenous group, and there are many, many millions of minorities who are productive and successful. Broken down into racial categories, well less than half of each race lives at or below the poverty line.
Third, about half of all Americans who live in poverty by raw numbers and not percentages, are white.
If majority were libertarians pot would be legal as would many other "sins"
