Commentary

Both Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Donald Trump addressed the national convention of the Libertarian Party (LP) this weekend. It brought the party vastly more attention than it has enjoyed in its entire history since 1971. All credit goes to LP chair Angela McArdle for issuing the invitations (Joe Biden didn’t answer) and for shepherding the machinery toward achieving this, against a tremendous amount of internal resistance.
