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

[andy2044]

Proud of my state, Nebraska, not going with Johnson

 

[andy2044]

Thanks, New Mexico delegate. I had no idea GJ was from New Mexico

Watching this... what do Libertarians have against personal hygiene?

Like the well groomed young man speaking now? Or the well groomed young lady speaking after him. Or the well groomed older gentleman speaking after her? Or the well groomed man in a business suit speaking after him? Libertarians are diverse.

You must be watching something different than I am.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Looks like Johnson has it wrapped up.

 

[andy2044]

Let's hope they can block Weld... but doubt it.

I'm watching the CSPAn Libertarian convention. Perhaps you need to put your glasses on.

Perhaps your TV screen needs some hygiene too.

Just STFU already with your snide remarks.

I'm surprised that motion failed. It would have allowed for them to vote for Peterson or McAfee as VP if I'm not mistaken.

 

[opal]

It would have put more people in the running to defeat Weld.. not sure how that happened.. I think it might come up a second time with different wording
