If Donald Trump came to the Libertarian National Convention to make peace on Saturday, it could hardly have gone worse.

“What’s the purpose of the Libertarian Party of getting 3 percent?” Trump asked the crowd, which proceeded to pelt him with jeers. “You should nominate Trump for president only if you want to win.”
