Not the way I see it. Ron Paul is for such drastic reductions in American presence that isolationism is the only word for it.
Also, Hillary, while I cannot stand her, would make mincemeat of Ron Paul in the election. She would carry more women and most of the middle ground voters. Politically, Paul would be the Republican version of George Mcgovern. He would be smashed so badly that Hillary would have an even easier time implementing her socialist agenda because she would be percieved as having a mandate to do so. -And if he had to run against Obama, they would play up the racist card (whether true or not).
This election is a disaster in the making. Oh for Ronald Reagan!
No way. I don't think you've been paying attention. Bill may have been popular, but Hillary is VERY disliked and distrusted, so when you put her against Paul, the difference is like night and day. It is clear, even to many Democrats, that she is a typical, dishonest, hot-air politician and even many Democrats know she is backed by big corporate money and that she is aligned with the CFR.
Paul is the opposite in so many ways, he is not a typical politician, he is honest and has firm principles, and he can't be bought. Unlike Hillary, he is not a NWO globalist and he will protect our freedom and constitution. So, he WILL bring in a wide range of people, including (as I said) the disgruntled Republicans, independents, libertarians and cross-over Democrats. I have no doubt that between him and Hillary, he will win. (unless it's riggged) ;-) I will grant you that if Obama is the nominee, he would be harder to beat than Hillary. BUt I still have faith that if it ever came to that, Paul wins. People are starting to wake up and realize that this election is less about Dem vs Republican, and more about the CFR candidates vs Ron Paul.
None of the status-quo RINOs can bring in the wide range of people needed to beat the Dem candidate. So I think your anaylysis is WAY off.
