And to use the GOP nominating process to bolster his inevitable third-party candidacy (with Chuck Hagel as his running mate, probably).
Clintons don't... scratch that, CAN'T get elected without third party candidates who can actually draw in the 10+% range and weaken their opponents. The Democrat machine knows Hillary's negatives are above 50%. Ron Paul's their equalizer, just as another little Texan was back in '92. All they need are the anti-war/pro-lifers and the John Birch Society/NWO fringe and they'll have their 10%... and Hillary wins.
Your right.I never thought about that.
