I've read the NRO column by Todd Seavey that makes a good case for Paul. Can he beat Hillary? It's possible, considering that he'll get the Christian vote, the libertarian vote, and all the swing and independent vote, in addition to traditional liberals.
The claim goes like this, only a anti-war candidate can win and Ron is the only antiwar republican. Therefore, he is the only ‘repubican’ who can beat Hillary.
I've always made the claim that whoever is the GOP nominee is going to need to reach out to Paul and his supporters. Paul's supporters are not going to hold their noses for the GOP nominee if the establishment and candidates keep trashing Paul.
BTW - you can lose your tagline now. The earmark claim is bunk.
“BTW - you can lose your tagline now. The earmark claim is bunk.”
Which part is bunk? Do you deny that Ron Paul requests earmarks? Or that he votes against the earmarks he asks for?
“I’ve always made the claim that whoever is the GOP nominee is going to need to reach out to Paul and his supporters. Paul’s supporters are not going to hold their noses for the GOP nominee if the establishment and candidates keep trashing Paul.”
I don’t believe in trashing Ron Paul. I do believe in pointing out inaccurate claims made by his supporters.
