On RT America: https://alibertarianfuture.com/2016-libertarian-party-nomination/second-nationally-televised-libertarian-party-debate-details-rt-america/

Johnson, McAfee, and Petersen were all invited, although McAfee has declined per his Facebook page.

In McAfee's place, make room for D.W. PERRY: http://darrylwperry.com/darryl-w-perry-to-participate-in-televised-debate/

So the Libertarians are actually debating on Russia's propaganda network? good stuff.

Not a good network, no, but interesting moderators. One will be Jesse Ventura's son, Tyrel Ventura. Apparently he co-hosts a program on RT America called Watching the Hawks, has anybody seen it before?

Johnson out, Feldman in: https://www.rt.com/usa/342090-3rd-party-primary-debates-preview/

No word yet on why Johnson declined. McAfee basically said that it was because he was tired of being the only candidate to not say the same thing every time in every debate.

So it will be Petersen, Perry, and Feldman. Pretty much 3rd, 4th, and 5th place candidates; a bit of a step down from the Stossel debate. I'll probably watch it anyway.

Also, there will be a Green Party debate as well, if anybody is interested. Details are in the same link in my last post.

And, just like that, there will be a third nationally televised Libertarian debate: https://www.facebook.com/events/1574687906161937/

This one will be hosted by Penn Jillette and the Libertarian Party of Nevada, and televised on TheBlaze (Glenn Beck's station). The lineup will be the same as the Stossel debate (Johnson, McAfee, Petersen). The event will be on May 16, but no indication yet whether or not it will be televised live.

Looks like Petersen decided to ditch the RT America debate. In his place, meet Kevin McCormick. The only debate McCormick has been in so far was the California one, where he did better than most of the other also-rans.

Live commentary:

Feldman is a bit nervous. McCormick is very nervous. Perry is more shameless than the others and has a shiny jacket.

Ventura after McCormick nervously says, "I should be the Libertarian nomination": "Powerful statements. Powerful statements!"

End live commentary.

DW Perry just snuck in "the tyrant Lincoln" to refer to Abraham Lincoln.

Look at us! We're a serious party!
