    Why was trump invited to speak there? Its unprecedented to let the presumptive nominee of another party speak at a convention, because it is a very bad and unpopular idea.

    The article discusses all those who were against this, but doesn’t mention how or why the party decided to invite him.

      Because libertarians are essentially just conservatives who want to be able to smoke weed?

      I can ask around locally. I’m not sure who went to the convention, but they might’ve returned with information.

      I know a lot of people were incredibly pissed.
