Well then it also means not only does Obama win re-election but likely does so with ease, which would equal him claiming a mandate. And if the democrats ever gained back the House with him claiming a mandate, then forget it. We’re all cooked.
If that were the case, those two would be nothing more than prostitutes for Obama, because even the self-worshipping Trump and the psychotic Paul know it hands him four+ more years.
The only question is, what will Obama have given them in return?
Don’t think so bro. Paul is a nut job but not that nutty.
A Romney nomination mean Obama wins reelection regardless of the tricks used to get him there weather its Trump or somebody else. Why do you think so many Obama supporters are voting for Romney?
Even Idaho and Utah would be squeakers in this scenario.
I think it’s going to happen.
The establishment needs to be taught a lesson. We will never take the country back otherwise. If we are unsuccessful in taking over the Republican party, we must DESTROY it. No matter the pain.
Trump’s an idiot so who cares?
I would be surprised if Paul doesn’t 3rd Party. He would, indeed, get some votes.
Unlike ‘92, these 2 guys might drain more votes from disaffected Obama supporters. The anti-Obama crowd will not dilute their vote this time.
Trump should make a cash offer to both Perry and Santorum to jump out before SC.
20mill to each might make it palatable to them.
Very cheap to save the country....way easier than mounting a 3rd party run.
Or, in other words, four more years with Obama as president...
Hand Obama a 40-state mandate (the likely result), and in four years, we won't be having discussions about "taking the country back." That'll be long out of the question.
I think Trump worked with Obama on the phony birth certificate issue- the whole thing looked like a script playing.
Donald may indeed pull a Perot, with the intention of electing Obama.
Remember, Perot started to run then pulled out when Clinton was doing well. Later when the polls suggested a problem with electing Clinton, Perot “had to get back in the race” and pulled enough R votes away so Billy Jeff got elected.
Trump may pull the same stunt. Anyone who runs third party on the GOP side knows exactly what the outcome will be.
Ron Paul won’t run. He’s setting up his son and getting Libertarian planks in the GOP convention imo.
Nobody can predict what Trump will do or why. The author pretends he knows but he doesn't.
There is a good chance that Ron Paul will run as a third party candidate regardless of who the Republicans nominate. Ron Paul is working to try to ensure Obama’s reelection. It is likely that no matter what happens Ron Paul will run as a third party candidate and never attack Obama. He will only attack the Republican nominee.
How come this election cycle is not anything like as fun as I thought it was going to be...?
Trump was on Greta the other night and all but endorsed Romney, I seriously doubt he plans to run 3rd party against him. As for Paul, who knows? but since most of his votes seem to come from independents and democrats he might hurt Obama as much as the Republican nominee
Because people are more selfish than ever and upset that their dreamboat is not running.
We need to focus on one thing alone - A B O
