The Libertarian Party is often used by Democrats to siphon votes away from Republican candidates. Republicans and Libertarians differ on many issues, but both tend to share concerns about privacy, limiting government, and individual responsibility. They often fight for the same freedoms that Democrats want to take away.
Montana’s Libertarian candidate for Senator, Rick Breckenridge, dropped out of the race and endorsed Republican Matt Rosendale following a campaign mailer that went out touting the Libertarian as the “true conservative” in the race. The mailer was not claimed by any group and did not have a return address.
Jon Tester, the Democratic incumbent in the race, claims to have no knowledge of the mailer. But a similar tactic was used on his behalf six years ago.
Breckenridge does not agree with some of Rosendale’s beliefs, but they share a distaste for “dark money” influencing elections. The use of dark money on his behalf to derail the Republican candidate was the last straw that prompted him to endorse Rosendale.
Libertarian Candidate Drops Out of Montana Senate Race, Backs Rosendale
Libertarian Rick Breckenridge has virtually no chance of winning. But his participation has threatened to peel away votes that might otherwise go toward the Republican and boost Tester’s chances next week.
The mailer comes two days before President Donald Trump plans to hold a campaign rally in Bozeman supporting Rosendale — the president’s fourth visit to the state and an indication of how much the White House wants to unseat Tester. Trump has blamed the Democrat for derailing the nomination of his first choice to head the Veterans Affairs department.
My Take
There’s a desperate need for a valid third party in the United States. It appears unlikely the Libertarian Party can do it after failing for so many decades. Is it time for a new one to arise?

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
