Libertarian national convention May 27–30 in Orlando (Official thread)

[Suzanimal]

Gary Johnson non answer on the minimum wage. Petersen gave a good answer in his dramatic reading voice.

 

[opal]

Johnson is delusional - nobody was going without healthcare before Obama.. delusional!

 

[opal]

Petersen gets cheers for "It's time to kill the bank" re the fed

 

[Krugminator2]

The free market bankrupted the coal industry?


Am I the only one watching this?

I am a political junkie and watching.

It is as if Johnson took a dare to see how much he get away with and still convince people to support him.

 

[eleganz]

I'm watching.. and I think Perry's killing it.
McAfee is doing his thing.. effectively
Johnson.. he lost me in 2012
Petersen - loud and obnoxious.. can't count to 30
Feldman.. makes good points.. charmless

Dr. Perry is definitely bringing something fresh to the old boring talking points of libertarians but he is a pretty quirky character and hard to take seriously from an electoral point of view.

McAfee's responses are always confident, consistent, calm, and reasonable. He would be a damn great nominee and leader.

Wtf is up with Petersen? He makes great points but the fake personality just kills his likability.

Sounds legit

is it just me or is everything Johnson says sounding kind of whiney?

 

[opal]

Daryl just corrected Peterson on the Iran deal.. and Petersen got cheers anyway

wft

I'm not sure what's up with the voice.

I agree with your other points.

In what universe is Gary Johnson the best libertarian to represent the party?

 

[opal]

Feldman has started his dance behind the podium.. I think he needs a stool..

 

[opal]

not mine

 

[Suzanimal]

Is it me or is Petersen starting every answer with a meme?

 

[andy2044]

I'm so disappointed in the party. By nominating Johnson, they'll be going against what Ron said just a few hours ago: Don't give up purity for votes.

Yet AP is young and just speaks in bumper sticker slogans that come off as fake.... and McAfee is in 4th place.

 

[opal]

It's going to be hard to call a winner on this one.. the libertarian party is winning though.

 

[andy2044]

That's my biggest problem with him. He doesn't answer questions, he gives a fake slogan of no substance that'll get applause for some reason.

 

[opal]

it's not just you

 

[younglibertarian]

Ap and McAfee winning in my opinion.

 

[younglibertarian]

McAfee making good points on foreign policy.

 

[andy2044]

Ap and McAfee winning in my opinion.

I agree, though there's something about AP that I don't like. And given McAfee's current numbers, I doubt he's got a shot.

 

[Suzanimal]

Johnson: Reduce the military by 20%
Perry: Let 'em get by on what they can raise in donations and bake sales
Peteresen: Audit the Pentagon.
