This is Getting Serious, Is it Time to Draft Ron Paul for President Yet?

[James_Madison_Lives]

The Muslim-baiting and bashing reminds me too much of Hitler bashing the Jews to get ahead. Then knuckle-draggers and mouth-breathers listen to a Trump speech saying they all hate America and go out and do something like this:



Rand, you did well but these perilous times call for a senior statesman. Please ask your dad to enter the race as he was and still is the best candidate for US president ever. Please assure him that you will step aside and lead the campaign.

This time there would be no shenanigans depriving him of the Republican nomination. We will be inside and outside the polls as watchers and ensure it. We have learned.

How the GOP Establishment Stole the Nomination from Ron Paul

He is 80, ten years older than Trump, but he is healthy, runs a news show, and comes from a family with multiple people living up to nearly 100. You know the type. He's the grandpa who is still chopping wood and hunting when he is 80 (anyone have one of those?)

Remember when he challenged all the candidates to a 25 mile bike ride in the Texas heat?



- Stop supporting ISIS, US troops home!

- End the Drug Wars

- End the Fed, bust the bankers, stop printing funny money

- Constitution, Bill of Rights, Repeal the Patriot Act and NDAA military detention of US citizens.

- We are due for an economic collapse and only Ron Paul understands it and knows what to do.

Let's face it: Rand just doesn't put out the message as well, or have the same fighting spirit as his dad. With true command of the issues, and could tear Trump a new one on the stage.

Only the US retires its politicians at 75 just when they know the most, in other countries it is normal for presidents to get elected at 80. Dr. Paul do we ever need you now.

GUESS WHAT! There is already a draft RP 2016 facebook, and someone has bought the domain draftronpaul.com (parked right now.) Near 3000 likes so far.

At 80, I figure Ron has well earned his deserved overdue rest and retirement.

At age 80, Ron Paul would be the tenth oldest elected leader in the world today. Others are leaders of Zimbabwe, Tunisia, Malaysia, North Korea, Mauritius, Cuba, Cameroon, Guinea Bissau, Azerbaijan, and Palestine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_state_leaders If elected, he would be the oldest (by more than a decade) US President ever. Reagan was just short of turning 70 when he was inaugurated. Ron would be 82.

He is not interested in running for any office again.

Kim Jong Un of NK is about 30.

Ron is retired and never going to run again.

They listed the Chairman of the Assembly Kim Yong-nam who is elected. Kim Jong Un is not elected.

 

[erowe1]

No.

 

[Ronin Truth]

There has been NO US POTUS elected from the "Silent Generation".

Ron is one of the Silents.

Let's face it: Rand just doesn't put out the message as well

I think Rand's diehards have been perfectly honest about the fact that Rand never intended to put out any message at all. The plan from the very beginning was to appeal to Republican rank-and-file. That has always meant either giving a message that is opposed to the things Ron said, or no message.

I agree with you: we again need someone who will tell us what we need to hear, not what anyone wants to hear. But we all need to accept that for the moment the liberty movement is dead.

It could come back at any time, when someone starts to spread the message you mentioned. But first the current.... um.... effort has to play out till its end.

With this electorate Ron would do far poorer than his other three runs and would destroy his legacy and become a joke. Ron ain't the magic bullet and he never was to win a presidential election.

Libertarianism will only triumph not by selling its radicalness for popularity, but by converting the majority to it.

If I vote again I will most likely vote for a man who could never win, and who I'll not give up upon.

I have no interest in voting for his son though.

 

[Anti Federalist]

I intend to write his name in for a third time.

 

[TER]

If Rand doesn't win the nomination, I am writing in Ron Paul as I have for the past two presidential elections.

lol, just saw this!

Yeah, this.

That whole "appease the establishment" plan really bore fruit, huh?

Wait, I know what the problem is!

We just haven't been voting hard enough!

I'm not actually against voting. But there were other ideas I think were good back in the day. Early on, there was a push to develop a grassroots liberty "press". I thought that was a great idea. I also thought the idea behind Campaign For Liberty was good. Unfortunately, that was sidelined, as all anyone cares about is the races we have the least control over.

CFL doesn't even have the core components of networking. Lists of people. I tried to point this out years ago, but it was always, "None of this is going to matter if RP 2012 doesn't happen." Now same thing with Rand.

I won't say movement is dead, but it's so small that when real grassroots organization efforts are made, I think many people are depressed about how dismal the outlook is. "You mean there's only 100 of us in this state!" That sort of thing. It's hard to grow without a Ron, that much is true.

 

[r3volution 3.0]

No, get a grip.

 

[Dr. Dog]

hahahahahahaha

Unfortunately Ron ideas were only a passing fad for the majority of his supporters. If ron's ideas couldn't even hold on the people that supported his runs, without them drifting off to people like Trump, sanders, etc., then no matter what CFL did would have made a damned bit of difference. Freedom is NOT popular and I don't see it becoming so with the foreseeable future generations.
