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?
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.
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...
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.
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
I would bet money both of them would run
I hope Paul runs 3rd party. His support comes mostly from the anti-Constitution, anti-US defense leftists and conspiracy nut and dope-using libertarians so Obama and the the Libertarian Party candidate will lose the most votes. Trump running, however, would take away RINO Romney votes.
If Paul runs 3rd party, he’s going to pull votes from both establishment parties, as did Perot. But, in this case, he could hurt King Barry more than he helps him as the left wing crazies that voted DemocRat en masse in 2008 will flock to Paul as we already saw in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Get used to it. Romney will be the nominee. Newt has shot himself in the foot and he is history. Trump is too smart to waste his money on a 3rd party run. Ron Paul will stay in the Rep. race all the way to the convention so he can get some platform concessions and will not run as a 3rd party for the sake of his son. Now is the time for everybody to focus on the objective which is defeating Obama.
Paul won’t run 3rd Party. It would damage Rand’s budding political career.
Trump is a wild-card. Hard to predict what he will do, though I suspect he will also stay out. He is handsomely paid for his reality show.
I would rather Romney beat Obama, and then we can primary him in 2016.
Doesn’t this kinda assume that we might win with Romney and no third party run? I’m not sure there’s a predicament here. I think we lose either way, if Romney is the pick.
Ron Paul might actually win the 4 way race.
