(I know a few of you have)
He was nearly Johnson's running mate, for the 2016 presidential election.
This gentleman, to me, totally gets it and is the catalyst to expanding the base of the Libertarian Party.
The man just exudes common sense, with the ability to present Libertarian ideas to people, without scaring them off.
He is also accessible.
Although extremely brief, he's taken time for a small interaction with a chump like me.
Larry is currently launching an exploratory committee to become governor of NY.
Here is one of his latest convention speeches, let me know what you think.

I'll also add his bio story...

Bio feedback:
Sounded a little like the Obama bio at first - is he a secret Kenyan Moose Lamb?
Interesting take on why he joined the Marine Corps - looking for positive male role models. I have never heard a man say that is why he joined the military...
I was a little confused when he talked about his businesses that he never mentioned what they were...
The overriding theme seems to be why we need universal health care, although he never says that, and it is antithetical to libertarian "free market" rhetoric.
What is "the system?" He almost sounds like Bannon railing against "the administrative state" at the end - which is not music to my ears.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
