Watch: Trump Booed, Heckled, Cheered At Rowdy Libertarian Convention...

Between that dynamic and the fact that Trump's resume is full of items that are repulsive to libertarians, the party's invitation was deeply controversial...as evidenced by this delegate's motion on Friday:
Trump claps back at the Libertarian Convention.

"The Libertarian party should nominate Trump for President of the United States…only if you wanna win…maybe you don't wanna win. Only do that if you want to win. If you wanna lose don't do that. Keep getting your 3% every 4 yrs". pic.twitter.com/G0YDJY7aUo
