"I say emphatically yes to the idea of molding the GOP back to its little-l libertarian roots,..."
The GOP doesn't have any "little-l libertarian roots!" From its founding with Abraham Lincoln, the GOP has ALWAYS been a party of Big Government. (And don't give me any
cr@p about Ronald Reagan being a "little-l libertarian." He was a Big Government conservative.)

Funny. The new HTML architecture saw your "cr@p" and assumed it to be an Email address, helpfully providing you with an Outlook Email link therefrom.
Probably better to just write "crap". ;-) It's a pretty minor curse word by any measure.

Reagan represented a "step in the right direction" and a thorough repudiation of the impotent weakness of 1980's alternative, Jimmy Carter.
As I commented earlier in the thread, the socialists have a very effective model in their patient incrementalism. It's taken them a few decades, but inch-by-inch they've achieved just about every vision in the socio-fascist dream.
We pro-liberty/Constitution-respecting voters are wise to adopt a similar stepwise approach, ratcheting the nation back towards the Constitution stepwise as we can and by leaps when circumstances allow. The RLC is the fulcrum which can make this happen--hell, is making this happen--by attracting disaffected non-voters to a Party which at least nominally stands for small government and individual liberty.
We aim to make that a reality. And in this thread we have presented numerous examples of how that is proving out in the real world, with RLC-supported candidates getting nominated and earning election across the nation. There's more where that came from.
