  • Hillary Would Be Better For Liberty Than Trump… Here’s Why. [PODCAST]
    Former Libertarian Party presidential candidate Austin Petersen offers his hot take on why liberty in the United States would be better served with a Hillary presidency rather than Trump.

    Putting historical analysis in a modern context, Petersen invokes Alexander Hamilton's strategy to champion the Federalist cause, and how it applies to the 2016 presidential race. Drawing from the Cato Institute's research, Petersen shows why the growth of government is the real issue at stake in this election.
