This video was a waste of 19minutes...
-He starts off the video by pointing out that there's so many people in the GOP, especially at the local levels, because they are Ron Paul supporters- Well that means the GOP takeover is working...GREAT!
But, then he loses me...
-He starts talking about how if Ron loses the nomination and runs 3rd party he'll be the 1st 3rd party candidate to ever win the Presidency. He points out how even Jesse Ventura said this isn't possible and then never gives an actual LEGITIMATE reason as to why Ron would win other than he has so much crossover support.
-His argument for Ron being able to win the Presidency as a 3rd party is that he takes so many GOP votes and so many Dem votes that he'd be able to win.
Ummmm think about this logically folks... even if Ron Paul took 33% of the GOP with him (ain't going to happen) and even if Ron Paul took 33% of the Dems with him (ain't going to happen) he'd still only end up with 33% of the popular vote.
Even if he won a couple of states how in the hell is he going to get 270 electoral votes? It's like this guy thinks Ron just has to win the popular vote to win the POTUS.
THEN to make matters even more ridiculous he continues to point out at the end of the video that Ron has so much GOP support that if he took it with him it would destroy the party (If that was true he'd be winning right now) but let's just say that it is actually true for the sake of argument... UMMM why in the world would Ron jeopardize this great infiltration within the GOP just for an INDY shot at the POTUS when it's not possible to win?!!?!
IF he truly has so much of the "New Establishment" on his side then he should stick with the GOP so those people aren't ostracized later, as the Old Establishment dies the New will be there to take their place.
If you run 3rd party and lose ( 3rd parties can't win, get over it, get over the idea it's ridiculous) then ALL of the "New Establishment" support will NEVER be accepted into the GOP again. People who try to run as Ron Paul Republicans will be destroyed because Paul showed his true colors at the end, his son will NEVER get a shot at the nomination if he tries later on, his son's attempts to continue to take back the GOP will be futile.
Almost everything he says in this video is absurd...
A 3rd party run kills everything Ron has built over the last 5 years, it screws over every libertarian-republican from here on out, it ruins his son's chances, it kills the movement and moves it back to the fringes of the libertarian party.
And, newsflash, there isn't a snowballs chance in hell Ron would get 270 electoral votes.
At the very best he could win a couple of states, cause no one to get 270, and force John Boehner to pick the POTUS (Gee.. I wonder who he'd pick
)
If Ron truly has such an incredible amount of local and county support than the goal should be building that support up from the grassroots and taking back control of the GOP from the Neo-Cons and Diet-Democrats... this will lead the way for Rand and the entire liberty movement... it will be considerably easier to win with Rand if the GOP is split between Libertarians and Neo-Cons.
A 3rd party run literally ruins everything, people need to get over it, they need to get over it now.
The goal should always and forever be a GOP takeover, this will launch the movement to places it's never been and will absolutely never be in a 3rd party.
All the 3rd party does is split up the GOP and cause the Democrats to control the government forever. It's ludicrous on so many different levels...
