The technical difficulties, the awkward pauses, the ridiculous requests from delegates, this whole thing is cringey and embarrassing.

Jorgensen is like generic L but she reminds me of Amy Klobuchar with regards to her (lack of) charisma. She will not be a remarkable candidate, but Horberger is not only unremarkable but also unnecessarily divisive.

Kokesh, Monds, or Supreme; or I'm voting for Trump.

Anyone else have any favorites?

If you're not watching, you missed Atlas Forum alum Darryl Perry.

Atlas alum! Well I learn something new here every day. No licenses for making toast in my own damn toaster.

Basically no one here wants him back. He was a real asshole.

I ended up being unsure if Mikado was joking that DARRYL PERRY used to post here and after some searching WOAH WELL HE WAS QUITE A COLORFUL PERSON I SEE. I feel like my new knowledge of this is some sort of Atlas rite of passage.

Supreme is my big favorite. Monds is a pretty good orator just from what I heard today. I want Sharpe as VP. Even if somehow magically there was a Supreme/Sharpe ticket (that'd be some clashing philosophy) I probably would not support it.

Hornberger and Jorgensen just seem boring from all I've heard. I think the only way third parties can do well (well being 5%) is having really good speakers. Think Nader. Not random party swappers. Vermin's eccentricity would unironically get a lot of media attention.

Dr. Mary Ruwart (noted medical conspiracy theorist) has endorsed Hornberger.

Yeah, I couldn't imagine having to do Sarwark's job for 15 mins. Christ, some of these delegates have been insufferable.

And yeah, is it really that difficult for the Libertarian Party to match their video streaming quality to that of a teenager on Twitch? Seriously, this is pathetic quality.

I'm all in supporting Gray's rapidly dying campaign.

I remember him for having said that he'd want to have an affair with either Kirsten Gillibrand or Mary Landrieu (!):

That's a strategic move to stop Vermin.

Hornberger being overly-offensive Hornberger as usual.

But of course Spike had endorsed Vermin. Weird dynamic.

The possibilities appear to be:

Kokesh/Sharpe

Kokesh has endorsed Sharpe to be the VP nominee but I can't see Sharpe actually agreeing to be Kokesh's running mate.

If the Libertarian Party wants to ever be taken seriously, they cannot nominate Vermin Supreme.

The Gov. Johnson endorsement breathes a little bit of hope into Gray's campaign.

This is going to be an interesting night.

Not a surprise, Gray has been touting the GJ doobie of approval since Amash dropped out and GJ stopped being unable to decide between Amash and Gray.

Johnson's endorsement was no surprise, of course, as it had already happened, but this appearance in & of itself wasn't previously announced.

"...abolish this, that, everything..."

Well, no sh**t, Jim. Some Libertarians are AnCaps/Voluntaryists. It's almost as if you're actually just a Republican.

Eh, not really. The endorsement has been well-known for a little while now, so I wouldn't expect it to somehow magically resuscitate Gray's campaign considering it already looked dead even post-endorsement.
