Leader of the Mises Caucus, paid by the LNC, Michael Heise has announced that he will be voting for Donald Trump. He did this on an obscure media site. National Chair Angela McArdle then forwarded Heise’s endorsement … to her decidedly not obscure X.com account.
Behold the disgraceful conduct of the National Committee, sending endorsements of the Republican candidate to all and sundry.
A petition calling for McArdle’s removal has been created by Liberty Sentries. (I do not know anything more about this group).

Unfortunately, this is a stupidly written and ineffective petition.
For the sake of argument, let’s say that they get enough signatures. They are petitioning the LNC, which is completely controlled by the chair, to appoint an ad hoc committee to investigate the chair.
My guess is that there is a slightly greater chance that if Trump is reelected, he will demand that the justice department investigate him and try him for all of his crimes. That isn’t going to happen.
Let’s say they do appoint the committee. There’s no timeline. The committee could report back in,,, say a year? And the report will be a glowing and eloquent summary of all the wonderful things the chair has done. They will of course, make the report public as the petition requests.
This petition has no teeth.
Has anyone totaled how much the Libertarian Party has paid Michael Heise so far?
If it is more than “3 fiddy” then he was overpaid.
Trump is really racking up the Mises endorsements. Here are the links, if anyone wants to read them:

Colorado state Chair Hannah Goodman endorsed Trump back in July. McArdle “endorsed” Oliver while wearing a clown nose for blue states only. Has New Hampshire done it, yet?
And if we had Libertarians runni g the party he would be out on his ear. But since Angela basically endorsed trump and the mises caucus seems to think gwtting trump elected is the goal I doubt it’ll matter. Hell he’ll probably get more money now.
“You will be hard pressed to find many people with as much stake in the Libertarian Party as I have.”
Yup. That big one driven through the center of the corpse’s chest has his fingerprints all over it.
Well played! Unfortunately, you need a lot more than just a stake to deal with the vampires like Heise.
What a shame! I would have to believe David Nolan (and probably Davod Boaz) are spinning in their graves!
So what happens in 2 weeks when caucus leaders paid by Steve Bannon no longer have use for controlling this organization?
They will skim the rest of the cash out of the party and head for the hills.
