    i'm 100% confident that ron paul won't be nominated by the gop

    and additionally, as i've said many times before, he'll never be president of the usa

    how confident are you that ron paul will be nominated by the gop?

    I don't attempt to know the future, especially beyond my control.

    I'm confident that I'll continue to work to help Ron Paul win delegates and get them to the convention with the resources they need to win over other delegates. I think Lincoln's story sets some good idea of how you can come from behind to win.

    I was asking your confidence level because I wonder why you feel the need to come on here and say the same thing over and over.

    If you are confident that Ron Paul will not win, why do you bother wasting anytime on him? You comment more than most Ron Paul supporters on Ron Paul threads. You help keep this post on the top of the topics. If he isn't going to win, what is the point in trying to keep people from voting for him.

    I don't put effort into winning over flat-earthers...

    Could you imagine spending all your time on a religious forum constantly posting, "the earth is round!"

    At the same time, I wouldn't assume to know everything, or be able to predict the future with certainty. Maybe the Earth is flat...maybe Ron Paul can't win...

    I plan on going into orbit someday so I can say, "The Earth is Round, I've seen it."

    I plan on going to the RNC so I can say, "Ron Paul can win, I'm here to make it happen."

    I'm glad to read (in another thread) that you have a garden.

    If Newt Gingrich can get more delegates and win more primaries than Ron Paul, then what does that say about Ron Paul's campaign?

    If Paul supporters really believed in idealism, principles, and honor, they wouldn't be inventing imaginary scenarios like this thread, "How Ron Paul Wins the Nomination: A break-down of delegates and a brokered convention.

    HERE is the honorable, idealistic, principled FACT.

    The American People ARE speaking. So far 8,819,473 HAVE spoken in the Primaries. Only 949,914 are interested in Paul. 7,869,559 want someone other than Paul.

    If honor, and principle ARE important to you,,,,,,,,,accept the FACT that the people of the US are not interested in Ron Paul.

    Speaking of hypocrisy, Ron Paul is a poster boy for it. Claims to disdain earmarks while he attaches them to bills that he knows will pass then votes against the bill. Claims to favor term limits while spending 22+years in Congress.

    Look up the word hypocrisy in the dictionary and it says "see Ron Paul."

    The reason to NOT vote for Paul is because he cannot win. Beating obama is much more important than Ron Paul. Paulists don't recognize that, but Paulists fail to recognize a great deal that IS reality.

    IF Paul COULD beat obama, he 'd get the votes. He can't so he doesn't get the votes.

    What you just said is a lie, or at least, it is a false statement. You say "won't" which is a statement you can't prove, because your attempting to predict the future (until the convention you are making prediction, not a factual statement).

    Even if you said "can't" it'd be false.

    Less than 11% has won the Nomination in a Presidential Primary:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_Democratic_National_Convention

    7. John W. Davis 31 votes (2.8%)


    You can say, "I don't think Ron Paul will win the Nomination" but when you say "can't" or "won't" you are making false claims.

    Cool, now we know where you stand. Are you done?

    For everyone else interested in working toward making the "impossible" possible. We still need votes, we still need support. Become a delegate. Go to the convention.

    If you are bound to another candidate; Abstain from voting in the first round.

    Then, begin explaining that there are American voters who would vote for Paul, but won't vote for Romney or Santorum. That the GOP will lose too many voters in the General if they go with someone other than Paul. That Paul has the best chance to beat Obama in a "3-Way Race."

    Tell them we don't need a popular President. We need a President that is willing to be unpopular for making the hard decisions.

    We need to make actual cuts. At the same time, we need to save what is left of Social Security and Medicare or things will get real bad.

    It's about the economy, and Ron Paul is the one people trust on the economy.

    Imagine if everyone like you was encouraging instead of discouraging, maybe Ron Paul would win...

    Ron Paul cost himself by not going after Romney, plain and simple. Don't give me this BS that he is trying for a one on one -- it's too late for that.

    yup, replace Obama with another corporatist, banker tool, to carry out the same policy.
    Genius.
