Libertarian Party presidential debates and forums, 2016

Last updated

The Libertarian presidential debates were a series of political debates between the Libertarian candidates for president in the 2016 presidential election.

United States presidential election type of election in the United States

The election of president and vice president of the United States is an indirect election in which citizens of the United States who are registered to vote in one of the 50 U.S. states or in Washington, D.C. cast ballots not directly for those offices, but instead for members of the U.S. Electoral College, known as electors. These electors then in turn cast direct votes, known as electoral votes, for president, and for vice president. The candidate who receives an absolute majority of electoral votes is then elected to that office. If no candidate receives an absolute majority of the votes for President, the House of Representatives chooses the winner; if no one receives an absolute majority of the votes for Vice President, then the Senate chooses the winner.

On May 16, the three leading Libertarian candidates (Johnson, Petersen and McAfee) participated in a debate held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Longtime Libertarian and entertainer Penn Jillette hosted the debate, which was aired by TheBlaze cable channel on May 20. The candidates were asked questions by other celebrities, including comedians Drew Carey, Carrot Top, Jeff Ross as well as Dee Snider of Twisted Sister and The Five co-host Greg Gutfeld. [32] The debate focused on corporate greed, the War on Drugs and the government’s use of force, both at home and abroad. “The government is, by definition, force, and there are certain things you need to do. You need to do defense, you need to do courts, you need to do police. But beyond that, I don’t know if we have to use a lot of force to decide how people make their lawns look,” Jillette said. On the issues Johnson said, “The fact that we have the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world, the War on Drugs is really about Black Lives Matter. With regard to our military interventions, I think that they have the unintended consequence of making things worse, not better,” Johnson said. “They’re probably fine human beings, but the two-party system takes the soul of a man or woman,” McAfee said. “That has to change. It is why we, as Americans, are so dissatisfied. Where will they turn? There’s only us.” [33]
