Chase Oliver won the Libertarian Party presidential nomination on Sunday after seven rounds of voting at the party’s convention in Washington, DC.

The 38-year-old, who has previously run for Congress multiple times in Georgia, focused his pitch on making Libertarian values palatable to a broader audience.

In an interview with CNN following his nomination, Oliver said he believes earning 2% of the vote nationally in November’s general election is a reasonable goal.

He believes that abortion should be legal nationwide, and he has said he would support legislation to make it so.

Nothing small government or constitutional about that.

There’s 10 or 15 votes Trump won’t get.

The American Conservative: "Donald Trump: The Most Libertarian President Since Silent Cal" (Calvin Coolidge)

The Libertarian Party polls higher than it actually performs in elections, by a significant margin.

I very much doubt that Oliver will win a lot of voters who would ever consider voting for Trump.

A waste of time for Trump, chasing that crowd.

On the ballot in all 50 states

Providing Deep State another place to stash switched Trump votes using those handy dandy electronic voting machines that Deep State loves so much.

From 2006, a preview of coming attractions...

Update: Is ‘vote flipping’ an e-voting problem or user error?

Pity we refused to pay attention.

Libertarians ruin libertarianism. It’s why I left 40 years ago.

Libertarians supposedly believe government can legitimately defend life and Liberty, but then they fail at square one by not defending the unborn. They are not serious people which is why they should not be taken seriously.

Libertarians have a good theory, but they misuse the theory and are inauthentic. They believe that they are immune from groupthink. They are not.

Conservatives on Free Republic made continuous and conscious efforts to drive Libertarians away.

Rational consideration is a no no.

I use to be able to tolerate Kat Timpf as a libertarian, until she admitted she has NEVER voted for a democrat OR REPUBLICAN.

She can take a hike.

There was intolerance for people signing up here to promote liberalism.

What does that mean?

You brought up that JR was hard on libertarians and I remined you of why, they were fighting for homosexual marriage, abortion, and other leftist agendas.

Your post sounded like a dig at conservatism.

“focused his pitch on making Libertarian values palatable to a broader audience”

by using better techniques of obfuscation and more believable lying?

“2%”?

that’s 50% less than what Trump said they would be happy with ... looks like they’re already lowering their expectations even more ...
