Please explain to me how Paul is going to split the GOP when he stated to his wife that he will not run as a 3rd party candidate. Then again, maybe he should. Payback for years of the GOP establishment supporting RINOs or Democrats against him in his Congressional races.
He'll run as long as he can as a Republican, then when the cash stream dries up, he'll go Third Party because none of the remaining candidates are "pure" enough, and he'll just go on being a jerk.
Like Pat Buchanan. Except Pat can't write pork earmarks into spending bills in Congress.
Like Paul.
That is all.
