I think you’re spot on, dear nm!
I mentioned, upthread, that these folks were LUCKY to be seated at such a brilliant master class.
Also, another reason he went into the belly of the beast was because of this ... taken from the Deroy Murdock (a libertarian) article, he referenced several times, during his speech ...
... Election data from 2020 confirm the dangers of Libertarian spoilers.
As the nearby chart illustrates, Libertarian nominee Jo Jorgensen’s votes in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin exceeded Biden’s margin of victory. In Pennsylvania, Jorgensen’s 79,380 votes trail Biden’s 80,555-ballot margin by just 1,175 — a deficit that just a bit more GOP campaigning could erase....
It’s a good article....

Do you remember R J Ringer?
Back in the early 1980’s. He wrote a number of books, was a member on FR before my time. (I was a lurker for a long time before I set up an account.)
He wrote
How You Can Find Happiness During the Collapse of Western Civilization
https://www.amazon.com/Happiness-During-Collapse-Western-Civilization/dp/0068596065
I have a copy in my library that I bought right after it was published. And have another book he wrote, but the title escapes me at this moment.
He was on the right, not like the hippies who migrated to Libertarianism over legalizing pot.
But that is all lost in the fiasco of trotting out Fauci and letting him and his gang (he clearly didn’t do this alone), corrupt the CDC (maybe to hide his involvement in and the US role in, and the Chinese responsibility for COVID in the first place).
What do you think Libertarians will do today? Will they nominate a candidate or pass this year, directly or indirectly endorsing Trump? Who ever they nominate will lead a failing campaign. And not get 3% this year. If they put a candidate on the ballot after yesterday, I bet half that this year. Who would want their name on that?
I agree.
Whomever thought this was a good idea, Trump should fire.
As an optic, this looked like complete pandering and it plays right into the hands of the drive by media.
Good morning, dear Jane,
You’re so welcome. Glad I finally came up with Murdock’s brilliant article. Had to go to Yahoo because it wasn’t available in Google.
Hope you & your family and all our FRiends have a wonderful Memorial Day.🇺🇸
We’re having a gorgeous Sunday but with some strong to severe storms forecast for tomorrow.
Trump is at the Coca-Cola 600 today in North Carolina, anyone hear anything about him speaking at the race?
“And of course they booed about closing the border.”
naturally: open borders, i.e., NO borders, and NO restrictions on flow of people, money or goods between countries, that is, NO countries, is in their official platform ...
And that is why I mostly can’t stand libertarians. They always, always, always default left.
But the open borders things pisses me off most. That will end up in dictatorship and violence, not liberty.
“He expedited the push for a vaccine but never mandated it.”
“Expedited” = spent billions on it and gave tort liability immunity to the manufacturers. And encouraged his followers to take it.
You’re welcome. I put that together and posted on another platform. I got sick of liberals saying he mishandled covid.
