Libertarian Party is as Libertarian Party does

Oliver won the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination in dramatic fashion Sunday night, prevailing on the seventh round of balloting after running second in each of the first five rounds. Oliver received 60.6 percent of the vote in the final round, finally clearing the 50 percent threshold for victory against "none of the above," the only alternative that remained on the ballot after Oliver narrowly won a sixth-round showdown with professor-turned-podcaster Michael Rectenwald, who had led the count in each of the first five rounds.

Oliver's victory on Sunday night was a blow to the Mises Caucus, the right-leaning faction that took control of the Libertarian Party at the 2022 convention and that had orchestrated Trump's appearance at the convention. That faction's preferred candidate was Rectenwald.

For much of Sunday's lengthy balloting process, it seemed like Rectenwald might narrowly prevail—even after giving a rambling, somewhat incoherent speech on Saturday night, after which he admitted that he'd been high on an edible.

IMHO, that's a good thing because it means that many in the party will have little alternative but to vote for Trump.

Meanwhile at the same time, RFK jr is siphoning votes from the Bidet.

I'm kinda liking how this election looks to be turning out.

“As you know, Donald Trump addressed the Libertarian National Convention last weekend.

As you also know, the delegates rewarded Trump the best way they knew how: by nominating a pro-BLM, pro-masking, pro-trans-the-kids cultural leftist who won't divert a single vote away from Trump. Congratulations, delegates!” -Tom Woods
