“I don’t understand how Paul and Perry can generate so many facepalm moments this early in the primary season and still have serious supporters among FReepers.”
The answer is strategy. There are a number of Trolls on FR who seek to persuade and dissuade voters. They wish to draw votes away from Conservative candidates.
There're no such candidates. If you think otherwise you've been hoodwinked and snookered.
I´d put it down to a weak field. Plus, Perry is perfect on paper. I doubt anyone takes Paul really seriously.
The funny thing is that there is a good case to be made for neo-isolationism, but Paul seems to be utterly incapable of making it.
The ‘blue republicans’!
