Not going to happen because Ron Paul has a son Rand Paul in the Senate. Father will not jeopardize his son’s political career by running Third Party. If Ron Paul runs strong in the GOP primary he will get prime time to make his speech in the GOP convention. Almost every major institution/businesses in the world has fallen to the internet revolution and direct democracy. The two party system will face the same problem. In some sense Morris is right, and a future primary candidate or politician may take up the internet nomination and challenge the two party system. IMHO I think we will have a four party system as Libertarian/Conservatives vs GOP vs Dem vs Occupy Wall St Leftists.

Ron Paul would accept. Basically he wants America to fail. You have to read between the lines. He damn well know that isolation will create a world of enemies that America would never be able to survive. And his approach on a strong military? Ask these questions.

Guess what? The people that will vote for Ron Paul are 90% of the young idiots that voted for Obama last time.

Not gonna affect the Republican candidate that much.

The Ron Paul folks are Infowars folks.

Well, Dick Morris is Dick Morris.

But I do think we have at least two major worries going into this election. One is that the Establishment GOP is determined to foist another lousy candidate on us, because they’d rather lose than elect someone who won’t give them their perks.

And the second is that they’ll run a third party candidate to syphon votes, like they did in 1992 and 1996.

I can think of at least three possibles at the moment: Ron Paul, Donald Trump, or Jon Huntsman. More may emerge.

Not sure of the date, but it looks damning to Paul’s attempts to distance himself from his racist newsletters.

I wonder if his consideration of a third-party run would exclude him from being on ballots in some States. Primaries are by parties and I’m sure, in some states, the Republican Party may not want to throw money behind anyone who threatens and plans to just jump to another party.

Ron Paul's devoted followers are made up of primarily anti-war activist who see common ground. Pot Heads who see one of theirs. Larouche followers who say “he's just like us”, College kids with skulls full mush, and hard core Libertarians. Paul in a third party is likely to have a bigger effect on Obama.
