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

[torchbearer]

An independent with an opinion? Or is having an opinion anti-libertarian?

It just makes you a bitch. Because you had no way to influence the outcome, nor have any chance to change the process- yet think your opinion on a forum is worth the bits to transfer.

 

[silverhandorder]

It would be best if you listened to everything your candidate has said over the last year.

So still will not answer. Keep evading.

 

[torchbearer]

but I have zero interest in that. lol

Still waiting for the answer to my original question first-
What are trump's policies? and please be quick about it, or you may be off on his current position.

just trying to help a comrade find trumps true positions:

Trump will build a wall. Renegotiate deals. Bring back jobs.

I may not agree with everything but don't tell me he changed on those. Each of those he goes into great detail talking about it at every rally.

So today I learned "winning" is more important than principles.

I learned that here shortly after the 2012 election was over.

My opinion is my opinion, I don't care what you or anyone else thinks it is worth. See unlike you I don't need to insult others because of a difference of opinion. I'm happy for you that you got who you wanted, congrats. I voted for Gary Johnson in 2012, I will not vote for him in 2016.

He's a moderate libertarian. Several people who have already stated that they don't want the LP do do well (and who are voting for Trump) have thrown a fit because Weld isn't a "hardcore libertarian" enough to be a fugitive running from Belize (as if that would do well in the political arena). They clearly want the LP to remain fringe.

But the fact of the matter is, Weld ran on the LP in New York as early as 2006, well before any of these folks were registered on RPF, and long before many of them had heard of the LP. He risked his own political future for the Libertarian Party, and of course paid the price, because the LP has difficulty getting anyone elected.

Here's how he ranks overall:

There already is one.

Where does Weld co-chairing the CFR task force to create a North American Union fit in your pretty picture?

Let's see where Donald fits in that pretty picture

lololololol

 

[RJ Liberty]

Let's see where Donald fits in that pretty picture

lololololol

LOL!

I'd laugh harder, but Trump has a good chance to win this election. And there are actually folks at RPF attempting to make that happen.

Surprisingly, not the most embarrassing thing to come out of the convention.

 

[The Rebel Poet]

By stripping?

It represents the federal agencies he would like to strip away?

 

[The Rebel Poet]

Darrell Castle 2016!

This!

 

[William Tell]

So today I learned "winning" is more important than principles.

Winning would be one thing, but it is not even about winning. Its about trying to get 5 freaking percent. You could get over 5 percent in a house primary sitting on your butt.

 

[The Rebel Poet]

Torch, don't ask anyone to try to sort that out. By the time the research is done, and the post made, Trump's position will have changed, rendering the post useless.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to RJ Liberty again.

 

[younglibertarian]

Who wants to start a write in campaign for this guy?

 

[69360]

It's like a significant faction in the LP wants to lose and never be taken seriously.

This fat guy has every right to strip at the convention. Doesn't mean he should have.
