Libertarian Presidential nomination (5/21-5/24)

[Ferguson97]

What % of the NPV will the Hornberger get if he's the nominee? I can't imagine he'll get anywhere close to Johnson's numbers.

[Ferguson97]

Any bets as to who wins? My gut says Jim Gray.

The whole thing? Hornberger.

[Ferguson97]

I see none of these people doing better than Johnson/Weld.

I think 2016 was the best third-party performance we'll see for a while

[Ferguson97]

Hot take: Vermin Supreme would do the best in the general election.

Cold take. He's funny and memey enough that people would vote for him.

[Ferguson97]

Where is everyone watching this? Link.

[Ferguson97]

Is there any real chance they let Vermin have the nomination? Ironically, he'd probably get the highest PV %, but he'd make the party look like even more of a meme than it already is.

[Ferguson97]

My money is still on Hornberger

[Ferguson97]

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.

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

If I was to pick a female congressman to have an affair with it would be
Mary Landrieu


or
Kirsten Gillibrand

Is it confirmed this was really him lol that's hilarious

[Ferguson97]

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

[Ferguson97]

Is the nominee being decided today?

[Ferguson97]

Hornberg/Gray ticket

[Ferguson97]

Looks like it'll be Jorgensen unless something crazy happens.

Any idea on the running mate?

[Ferguson97]

LP discussing how Jo and Spike can't be on the ticket together because they're both from SC and the Electoral College can't vote for them both due to the constitution.

Uh, I don't think they'll run into that issue.

[Ferguson97]

General Takeaway -

Jorgensen likely to become the nominee tonight in Round 3 or 4, given a miracle by Hornberger or Vermin.

Many are concerned that Spike Cohen (also being from South Carolina), could not serve as Jo's running mate within the South Carolina electoral college.

If so, and the LP does vote Cohen as Jo's VP - it seems as if the LP of South Carolina is exploring the idea of nominating Ken Armstrong as Jo's VP; only within SC's Presidential Election; which would be a historic occurrence within US history and questionably legal.

They can't seriously believe they're going to win the state, so they might as well just go with Spike.

Honestly, nominating two people from the same state and running into this "discrepancy" might end up getting them some free media.

"Point of order, a hot dog is not a sandwich."

The Libertarian Party is a very serious organization.

[Ferguson97]

Imagine going from nominating two former Governors to this.

Good for her
