‘Keep Getting Your 3%’: Trump Mocks Libertarians In Bid To Win Their Votes
HuffPost
Amid boos, the GOP presidential hopeful urged the skeptical group of conservatives to give him “lots and lots of libertarian votes.”
WASHINGTON – In a speech that began and ended with overwhelming boos, Donald Trump on Saturday tried to court libertarian voters at their party’s national convention by telling them to support him or keep being losers.
“You should nominate me or at least vote for me,” the Republican presidential hopeful told the crowd of libertarian delegates, to boos.
“Only do that if you want to win,” he continued. “If you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your three percent every four years.”
The twice-impeached former president was jeered at almost every turn.

Kennedy Jr. to debate him at the libertarian gathering.
There were pockets of Trump supporters at the event, and they tried to drown out all the boos with “We want Trump!” chants.
