Dearn better not have put Weld over the top

TMOT talking now after dropping

Bet he's going to endorse Sharpe

On edit: yup, that's what he did.

Prediction: Sharpe wins second ballot

Dearn better not have put Weld over the top

She did, and her reasoning is terrible

 

[younglibertarian]

Who is the gentlemen at the moment he is killing it!

 

[younglibertarian]

Greyson was fantastic

 

[LibertyEagle]

Why did TMOT say he dropped out?

 

[Rudeman]

TMOT drops out to support Sharpe.

 

[andy2044]

Why did TMOT say he dropped out?

To coalesce around Sharpe and block Weld.

 

[andy2044]

Right now it's Sharpe v. Weld.

Every other candidate except Dearn endorsed Sharpe. Dearn endorsed Weld because Trump is saying mean things about us.

 

[LibertyEagle]

But, he said more than that. Was his standing in the Libertarian Party successfully challenged?

 

[LibertyEagle]

Dude up there now is an idiot for supporting Weld.

 

[andy2044]

No, they proved he's a member. He only got 5% so he dropped out to back the only person with a chance of beating Weld.

Ah. Ok, thanks. He seemed upset about something is why I asked.

 

[younglibertarian]

I hope Weld fails just so he can see the symbolic middle finger.

It might be a reference to trump calling Weld a drunk. I can't find the reference at the moment, but it was on somebody's Twitter feed yesterday.

 

[andy2044]

He was upset about Weld's record and the mistake we'd be making by nominating him.

 

[opal]

I just had a friend that was NPA for 34 years.. swapped to Lib last year .. if Weld gets the nomination.. she's back to NPA

[younglibertarian]
