Running as an independent when he doesn't win in the primaries, to syphon Republican votes and hand Hillary the Presidency.

(1) He already stated that he wouldn't run as an indpendent or 3rd party candidate

(2) If the GOP establishment and conservative elitists keep trashing and smearing Paul, his supporters are not going to support the GOP nominee in the general.

(3) If Paul "can't win" anyway, why are you nervous then if he does decide run as an independent?

These attacks on Ron Paul clearly show how far to the left the GOP has moved. Ron Paul will be on my ballot even if he is not the Republican candidate.

Hillary cannot win without a Ross Perot type of candidate in the race as an alternative for conservative voters and she knows it. In my opinion, the current dissatisfaction with the GOP sets the stage for an alternative party like Perot in the ‘90s.

Will it be Ron Paul? I don’t know. I wasn’t aware that he has stated he wouldn’t run 3rd party.

As to being nervous. Anything that increases Her Heinous Hillary’s chances of winning makes me very nervous indeed.
