EP96: Should Libertarians 'Party' With Donald Trump? - Gracearchy with Jim Babka
Donald Trump, the Republican nominee-in-waiting, is slated to speak at the Libertarian National Convention in a few weeks. Is this a terrible strategy? ...real opportunity? ...enemies in the tent? ...a moment of grace?
In this provocative episode of Gracearchy, Jim Babka convenes a riveting panel discussion on whether the Libertarian Party should keep this engagement with Donald Trump. Former Libertarian Party national directors Dan Fishman and Perry Willis dive into the strategic implications and ethical considerations of Trump's involvement.
There are moments of laughter, insight, and intensity. You'll hear contrasting views on the potential impact on the party's future, the complexities of political alliances, and what Trump's participation might signal for libertarian values.
Don't miss the part where Dan and Jim make a public bet about the presidential balloting.
Tune in to explore the intersection of politics, principle, and the pursuit of liberty in this interesting moment for the Libertarian Party.
