You are delusional. First of all, Paul has said repeatedly that he is NOT running as a 3rd party or independent candidate no matters what happens in the primaries. Second of all, Paul is drawing the Reagan Democrats who are voting for Paul because of his border security and sovereignty stand.
Hillary would pay Paul to run as a third party candidate.
Keep smoking the crack pipe. It ain't happening. Besides, Paul's run is pushing the GOP back to its traditional roots. The folks who registered as Republicans will likely support the GOP nominee IF the GOP reaches out to Paul and let him speak at the convention & adopts a couple of his issues or something. They're the votes that'll crush Hillary.
I am glad Paul will bow out.
He’s embarrassing IMO.
