Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. can’t find a political party that will allow him to carry their flag. After leaving the Democratic Party, RFK Jr. tried to latch on to the so-far leaderless Libertarian Party, which roundly rejected the potential courtship of the Tempramental Tangerine Donald Trump on Saturday. Kennedy was booted in the first round of nominations.
If you’re interested in watching the boredom, the Libertarian Party National Convention is being broadcast live, and it’s as exciting as you’d think it would be. In the sixth round of voting, Chase Oliver got 49.53% of the vote, while challenger Michael Rectenwald got 44.73% of the delegate vote. Donald Trump, Robert Kennedy, football analyst Dan Marino, and two other also-rans each got one vote. Given that they did not get to 50% for any candidate, they’re still trying to figure things out.
