Actually he won the independent democrat primary. I don’t expect the media to admit that.

I hope this is the last damn state that these Paul people can screw up. I know it’s a lib state and I expected Romney to win, but this Paul crap needs to go.

Would be surprising if Romney didn’t win.
I just saw a Paul supporter say all the polls said Paul would win, wonder if the supporters will claim fraud again?

If you surrender California, New Mexico, Nevada and Texas to Mexico, it’ll be that much easier for him to win the general election. Think of all the time he’ll save, avoiding those pesky TEA partiers, flyover fanatics and people who talk funny. Think of what a dent that would make in illegal immigrants, swimming the Rio Grande. Surrender now.

why is that nutjob running on the GOP primary anyway?
He should be running as a libertarian on their ticket and let him spew his crazy talk then.

Using our primaries and platform to promote his whacky crazy lunatic ideas.

Close the primaries,get rid of the nutjob and let only republicans vote for our candidate.

This is stupid letting Dems, non party and lunatics vote in our primary and we wonder why we will lose again.

don’t support him however the nutjobs who support Paul are not conservatives or republicans .
The nutjob they support and yes they are total dumb idiotic screw balls are voting for a frail old confused man who has ran 3 times, uses the GOP when he is not a republican but a screw ball libertarian and he has only passed one bill in how many years?

As for Paul and his nutbag supporters then are they happy to get rid of the CIA, FBI, NSA and have incest legal, marrying a dog, crack house next to a school and have his foreign policy and think Iran is no threat

Yes they are because all the nutters care about is getting drugs legal and having anarchy .
The his supporters wonder why they get banned on here.

Why are you supporting that nutbag?

You’re a social conservative and you vote for nutbag, then no way are you one.
Marry a dog, homosexuals , get rid of the legal age of sex because in his mind who is the Govt to decide who can have sex with who and where, make all drugs legal.

If you still support that lunatic then wake the hell up.

Factually incorrect.

What got us Jimmy Carter was Ford's pardon of Nixon not the fact that he won these two primaries.

“What got us Jimmy Carter was Ford’s pardon of Nixon not the fact that he won these two primaries.”

You got a point. But Reagan almost took that nomination in ‘76. And if Ford could manage to fall just short of defeating Carter, you got believe the Gipper would have beat Carter.

But what’s done is done. We got Regan 4 years later to clean up Carters mess.

(BTW: I was only 5 in 1976, but I remember that election. And I’ve read enough about since then)

There’s so much wrong with this it’s hard to know where to begin.

The reforms of the 1970s have destroyed the traditional process. The replacement is deeply unsatisfactory.

First of all, “winning”, “big victory”, etc. should never be applied to 34% support. It is essential that, to win all of the delegates from a state, that a candidate have supermajority support (like 67% or more).

Second, the process should be arranged so that there is no winner until June. That used to be normal, and it would be easy to go back.

Third, no primary which allows non-Republicans to vote should be used to assign delegates.

Take heart in the fact that Conservatives are not being rejected by Republican voters.

Shead a tear that the Republican party still thinks it can with with a ‘cut-down’ Liberal, when the Dems want the real thing, a full blown leftist.

Agreed. This is not a repudiation of Conservatism though. It’s proof positive that Democrats prefer Leftists.

And since our party leaders don’t plug these holes, it’s clear they do as well.

If Romney is the candidate in November, the Republican party will have utterly destroyed itself.

He said he wanted to get rid of the CIA, FBI NSA in the 2008 debate, he thinks Iran is no threat, he thinks radical islam is no threat infact he thinks we caused it.

if he or his supporters think they can overturn it then they are frigging lunatics for sure.

Hell last weekend he said he was the only true Democrat in the race.

Is it any wonder why his son keeps his distance from the nutjob father.

Of course his supporters don’t think he is a loon because they are loons, just look at them , just look at how they have acted in 2008 and now.
