Pending any postponements due to COVID 19, the Libertarian national convention is less than two months away. Over a thousand delegates will convene, either in Austin, Texas or over some sort of virtual method, at the end of May to choose the party’s presidential and vice presidential nominees. It has seemed to be mostly a…
Last week, the 2020 Libertarian presidential primary got a little spicy when Mark Whitney, a fairly new and at-the-time surging candidate, told our very own Gary Doan exactly what he thought of two of his competitors, Jacob Hornberger and Lincoln Chafee.
