If GOP had it's head screwed on right William Weld ideal nominee for President

David Brooks "The Unity Illusion"

The G.O.P. has in its unthinking denial of anything good of the Obama administration left untended its optimistic free market Milton Friedman’s “Free to Choose” economic philosophy that Ronald Reagan used to ride into office. The party has been negative for so long that it forgot what it’s about and so it’s establishment lost contact with the base and let the brat in the room take over to destroy the party’s conservative ideology. On the other hand the Libertarian Party candidates, former two term Republican Governors  Gary Johnson of New Mexico and William Weld of Massachusetts are the conservatives that Brook’s describes. Weld would have been an ideal Republican nominee for President if the party had its head screwed on right. It’s important that in this election conservatives establish the Libertarian Party because the G.O.P. may never recover from its loss of bone structure on which to hold political muscle.
