    I like to post and read here to learn things where I can, challenge my beliefs, and occasionally share the maybe two useful things I know.

    This entire thread is clearly bald-faced lies. So why do you post it?

    The libertarian stance is open borders and pro immigration.

    Challenge your beliefs and learn couldn't be further from what say you are saying. To top your comment off, you shared nothing useful. Why did you bother yourself to post in this thread?

    Not the whole thing. It is true that he addressed the Libertarian convention, and that he was booed throughout his speech.

    Why the hell do you think I would want to hear Trump speak? I wouldn't walk across the street to hear his BS and lies. Besides that, I wouldn't want to associate with the people who were there. I know that any Trump speech, rally, or other toilet dump is history-making (just ask him), but I would prefer to be left out of history.

    Trump did no such thing which you would know if you read post 1 or watched the video. Trump's sense of humor carried the evening, not mockery. After all, he was invited to come address the convention.

    Trump asked for the nomination and failing that he asked for Libertarian votes to help defeat Joe Biden. Of course, this was the Libertarian Convention, so he was booed. It would not surprise me if someone at the convention nominates Trump. Of course, he wouldn't win, but to be nominated would be quite a thing for a rival party to do as was the invitation to come and address the convention.

    My thought is Trump won a lot of Libertarian votes. If you don't ask, you don't receive.

    I read posts like this and I am convinced that you are simply entertaining yourself by provoking people on a message board. The alternative is much less flattering and I choose not to believe that of you.

    So he didn't say this?

    “Only do that if you want to win,” he said of nominating him. “If you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your three percent every four years.”

    I'm glad you don't mind being associated with close minded to all things you don't agree with. You are an example of what Joe Biden meant by healing the divide yet failing miserably with his own party.

    Certainly, with Trump humor and no hint of derision. To open he used humor to question himself on why he came to the convention. He challenged the attendees but did not mock them. He also said don't waste the 3% of the vote you historically receive and to combine together to defeat Joe Biden. It was a good message not received near so badly as the lame stream media wants to have you believe.

    That sounds like projection to me. What can be more close-minded than a cult?

    Provoke is an unusual line of thought. If you don't like what is said, you think it provokes people. This isn't accurate.

    People through their close mindedness allow themselves to be provoked. Nobody can control being provoked except the individual allowing themselves to feel provoked, add angry, upset, hateful, and other choice words to the list. You control the emotions, not others.

    Do you have proof of this? Because all any of have seen is a video of him being booed loudly. What other source do you have?
