Contributing sentiments towards policy:
55% : Billy Hunt, a Libertarian Party delegate from Rhode Island, said that while he appreciated the gesture from Trump, it wouldn't change his vote.43% : Ulbricht's case was one of the top issues that libertarians asked Trump to address before the convention -- and it won Trump his biggest applause of the night.
43% : In another olive branch to the third-party, Trump said he would put a Libertarian in his cabinet if elected, and would also place Libertarians in "senior posts" in his administration.
39% : Ulbricht has been imprisoned since 2013, and some libertarians say his case is an example of government overreach and the need for criminal justice reforms.
30% : But despite those promises, Trump received sustained boos and jeers from the crowd throughout his speech, suggesting the pledge to pardon Ulbricht may not be enough.
18% : Donald Trump promised to commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the online illegal drug marketplace Silk Road, in a raucous speech before the Libertarian National Convention on Saturday night.
