Bernie Sanders is looking like the man to beat so far. A libertarian doesn't stand a chance in today's political climate. For better or worse.

Sure. Part of that is because so many libertarians in the past have been socially conservative. But that's not a feature of the ideology...it's rather counter to the ideology in many cases.
Rand Paul is a great example of that phenomenon.
But a huge number of people actually fit the libertarian or "classical liberal" description without even knowing it.
