I think Gary Johnson represented Dr. Paul and his positions in 2012 . Gary overwhelmed us with his 1% of the popular vote. (And he’s a decent guy). And then Sarah could have won the nomination and made sure Dr. Paul’s positions were not overlooked. I didn’t find her on the ballot either this past November or during the primary process this past winter. She must have been deeply concerned to assure Dr. Paul’s positions were properly represented.
If Romney even some lip service to things like ending the police state / NDAA etc - Gary Johnson would not have even run.
Of course i voted for RR, but I will say on too many issues there was little difference between him and obama.
