FROM MID DOUBLE-DIGITS TO HIGH DOUBLE-DIGITS: Libertarian Party membership applications double after Trump becomes GOP nominee.

And no, that’s not me being snarky: “Between 7 p.m. Tuesday evening and noon on Wednesday, the Libertarian Party received 99 new memberships. For the same time period a day earlier, the LP received only 46 new memberships.” I used to belong to the Libertarian Party, but I concluded that it wasn’t having the hoped-for impact, and in fact rather than dragging the other parties in a more libertarian direction may well have done the opposite.
