This is an impossibility.
Though people in the middle can be swayed a little to the left or right depending on the circumstances and candidate, you can't sway either that far away from center as it gets more to how people process moral questions.
More than anything and libertarians place an inordinately high value on what is described as freedom from oppression and liberty... and gives little to zero value to those other moral questions which left/right value to different degrees.
For example, I like Robbie but he's the only example I can think of. He'll argue that all drugs should be legal but ignore completely the massive societal costs and harm done. Not because he doesn't "care" per se, but because it's not factored into his thinking. Or for example Rand Paul can say things like "we need to abolish the department of education" and no libertarian bats an eye and asks "what do we replace it with" or "how exactly is that going to work?" because the mental processing stops more or less at "get rid of government organization. A Liberal or Conservative would be thinking "we need to improve this department" and having different ideas on how as they also see the problem slightly differently. But neither would ever get to "abolish it and forget about it".
Just as a Conservative places a high value on loyalty to the group (patriotism, symbolism, group rules etc) and Liberals burn flags, mock these behaviors etc and a Libertarian will have little opinion on the behavior of either sides views since its not a factor in their own world view.
This is neither good or bad. It's how we all view things, its why the arguments exist and the arguments define the center. These different ways of seeing things are the product of group selection and evolutionary biology.
