- Donald Trump at the Libertarian Convention: Things You Should Know About Trump’s Most Bold and Smart Campaign Tactic Yet
The Libertarians just had their political party convention.
They will be on the ballot in 37 states.
Approximately 10% to 23% of the American electorate identify as Libertarians, even more as libertarian conservatives.
However, Libertarian candidates get less than 5% of the vote… not enough to destroy Democrat or Republican candidates for Congress, Senate, or President.
But there are exceptions… in close races like the 2021 Senate race.
One of the reasons Georgia has two radical Democrat Senators today is because the Libertarian candidates took votes away from the Republicans in a predominately Republican state.
RFK and Trump both went to the Libertarian convention… Something never done before.
Never before have the Libertarians heard of another political party candidate asking for their endorsement.
But this time, RFK wanted to run on the Libertarian ticket.
And Donald Trump wanted to get their endorsement.
Yet the Libertarian party exists to run its own candidate to make an impact in American politics.
Both efforts were doomed for failure since even though the Libertarians can identify with RFK on his positions on anti-Covid lockdowns, Big Tech censorship, and several other issues, he’s basically a radical Democrat socialist.
Trump, on the other hand, has agreed with the Libertarians on many issues. Still, he has policies that Libertarians oppose, like tariffs, Trump’s refusal to change Social Security and Medicare, and saving our nation from bankruptcy. His defense of the COVID lockdowns and other issues also puts him at odds with the Libertarians.
- Swing States: Shift in Biden/Trump “Never Vote”
Among likely voters living in six key swing states, 51% say there’s “not really any chance” they’d vote for Biden, compared to just 46% saying the same about former President Donald Trump.
The voter’s refusal to even consider voting for Biden reverses the situation during the 2020 election when voters consistently reported that they would never vote for Trump at higher rates than they did for Biden.
Trump and Biden have “experienced” protest votes of around 20% despite running in virtually uncontested primaries.
- RFK Reform Party Nomination
RFK Jr. was endorsed by the Reform Party.
The Reform Party stands for ending “the two-party system” in the United States.
Reform Party Convention Secretary Richard Kasa said Mr. Kennedy “has more energy than Joe Biden and more maturity than Donald Trump,” the party stated.
RFK sought their nomination to gain ballot access in all 50 American states.
- Trump Boosting Ratings
The criminal trials of Donald Trump boosted cable news ratings. From April 15 to May 16, Fox News had a 14% increase year-over-year to an average of 1.46 million total viewers.
MSNBC rose 21% to hit 1.06 million viewers.
CNN saw a 27% lift to reach 563,000.
Note: Compare that with “American Idol.” They had 5.64 million viewers.
- Trump Versus Biden Debt
The Biden White House dishonestly blames the tax cuts under Donald Trump for “90% of the debt increase” of $34 trillion. But here are the facts.
- Under the Trump administration, the debt increased significantly because of the massive Covid spending. In Trump’s first three years, the debt rose by $3.3 trillion, something he should not have allowed to happen.
- But Biden’s debt in his first three years has been $6.25 trillion, and there has been no emergency to excuse Biden’s spending.
