It looks like media is misinterpreting Ron's email

[TheGrinch]

that is literally the same thing as suspending your campaign, santa did the same thing and worked with our slates in some state conventions still.

The difference is we're still accumulating enough delegates to matter, and even block Romney from the nomination. You can call it whaever you want, but it really doesn't change anything, besides them not drying up remaining funds other than for conventions and legal battles.

The reason there's still a money bomb should tell you exactly why this is different than suspending. That reason is that it's not time to throw in the towel like it was for Santorum. It's simply the tiem to be smart and frugal about the delegate strategy we've been going with since the beginning.

You're revealing yourself as a troll if you refuse to understand the difference here.

+1 for understanding the real world.

He isn't actively campaigning, the way I see it, that is suspending your campaign.

• Did Ron himself approve the wording of that email?
• Did anyone remind Ron he had promised people he would stay in?

Santa had tons of delegates still around which actually propelled us to victory in a few conventions.


You're kinda blind bro.

You got $10 million dollars for him? Because that's all he said is that he's cutting out the part of the campaign that the media is ignoring anyway. He nevewr said he's not staying in. It's a simple matter of economics, and does not change the delegate strategy all along.

How can you have been here since 2007, and not understand what obstacles we're up against here?

I Tweeted it:

So basically Ron Paul is telling the media they can stop covering his rallies and delegate wins.OH, WAIT. @seanhannity @limbaugh @EWErickson

 

[opinionatedfool]

he hasn't suspended his campaign, he is putting his resources towards the delegate portion of the campaign.

Which should have been done weeks ago. Like after Super Tuesday. That's all that matters. Campaign stops should be convention stops. That would really go a long way in bringing people out to the conventions.

Again, if you can't understand the difference in Ron and Sntorum's campaign strategies, then I don't really have to tell you're being blind about this.

Don';t bother responding. I've been arguing with trolls way too much lately. If you think it's over, then leave, enjoy your summer, but osme of us still have work to do to make as many gains delegate-wise as possible. Nothing has changed with this announcement, except the campaign not going broke to be able to still support that.

HE IS STAYING IN! OMG, just not focusing on pointless primary campaigning.

 

[lib3rtarian]

VERY bad move on the part of the campaign to send that mail out. WHAT THE FUCK are these blokes smoking?? If the idea was to motivate the grassroots to concentrate more on delegates, there were so many better ways to word that. EPIC FAIL. Someone slap that mofo Benton.

 

[devil21]

Trolls and professional Debbie Downers incoming.

Just be sure to post the actual email contents when getting into any sort of discussion about whether Paul actually "dropped out" or not. The email itself says nothing of the sort. Don't let the media and opponents cherry pick small quotes and then build strawmen around them.

In the world where most people live Ron is out (see Drudge)

@TheGrinchWhoStoleDC I know what we are up against, and Ron's people sending out that email helps how?

True, IMO

 

[JK/SEA]

Geez...trolls coming out like cockroaches today. I gree, if you think Ron is calling it quits, then by all means, take a vacation, go shopping, tune into Hannity, kick back with a cold one and repeat...i'm an idiot 3 times and you will wake up in Kansas....er, i mean Tampa..

 

[libertygrl]

the media is not misinterpreting his email, they are intentionally misrepresenting it. the email itself is quite clear.

I thought that at first but re-reading it makes it sound like they are right?? Maybe it sounds worse than it actually is.

By comparison Rand's recent mistake is "Happy and Gay"
Ron's email is an epic mistake. If you have any doubt check drudge.com, Yahoo, CNN, etc.

Grabbing delegates isn't a universal strategy for all campaigns?

Oh wow lol

 

[Justinfrom1776]

Also Jesse needs to learn to shut up. First the quote about handing our ppl to Romney in exchange for Rand on the ticket, now this, he's a fking tool.

I kind of wonder if Benton was ever really on the level, or if he was just someone close to Ron that he trusted.. Either way, Doug Wead should be the one dealing with the media in my opinion.

 

[Carlybee]

740 AM in Houston just announced "Ron Paul is ending active campaigning. Ron Paul supporters have been causing trouble across the country."

 

[TheGrinch]

Yes, but it takes a large number of passionate followers that most campaigns don't have to do so without having the media to back you in beauty contests.

But whatever, believe what you want to believe. It will not deter our delegates.

 

[Dogsoldier]

You mean he is going to stop spending money instead of going into debt?? Quick someone make this man President!!!

Yeah it's the reason why we've been doing so well on the delegate front. Have you ever met anyone striving to be a delegate in previous elections including this one? I haven't. I learned the Republican electoral process from this very site.
