>>Paul running 3rd party will mean little to the GOP nominee. Look at the losers they cite in the article. Some dope that lives in Turkey and another who thinks that 25% of the base will walk if Paul isn’t nominated? On what facts? It is clear that Pauls support is primarily college punks and Libertarians who wouldn’t vote GOP anyway. Paul is this election cycles John Anderson. If he runs 3rd party, he will siphon disillusioned Obummer voters and not have an effect on moderates and GOP voters.
This is spot on.
Many Republicans fear a 3rd Party Ron Paul. I, for one, welcome it. Paul will siphon droves of former Obama voters away from the Democrats and local and state Democratic candidates will suffer MASSIVELY. Most of the Ron Paul people are Alex Jones drones. Many of the black students I taught 3-5 years ago that were big fans of Obama are Paulites now.
The only real danger is if Mitt was the Republican nominee.
