Trump is probably they closest we’ll ever get in our lifetime to a President like Ron Paul

I did a write in for Paul back during Romney.
As much as I love Ron, there's no way he could fight the swamp like Trump is fighting.
Trump is a god among mortals.

Exactly!

If there is no one like POTUS Trump, yeah I'm gonna write in someone like Ron Paul. Or maybe. MAYBE libertarian.

But I don't vote for RINOs. Voting for Lindsay Graham last week was hard enough. Yuck. He's lucky there's an "R" next to his name and GEOTUS needs the House and Senate.

I was proud as fuck to vote for Doug Collins and Gov. Kemp in my state.

Same here and my sentiments exactly. Ron Paul planted the seeds to this grassroots movement IMO.

They destroyed RP in the first 10 minutes every time he ran.

The swamp regularly chews up and spits out well-meaning politicians.

If you're corrupt to the core, you get nominated to run for President.

Trump is better! I LOVE Ron Paul, but he's a lightweight. He dreamed of an audit of the Fed. Trump completely took it over.

Different personality types. Ron is too nice and expects people to not cheat. Trump is better suited to fight these snakes.

We all knew back then how compromised the media was including Fix News.

I swore I'd only ever vote libertarian after that shitshow from the media and RINO cocksuckers in 2012. I have no doubt given a FAIR shot we would have curb stomped obummer and his pederast vp.

Now I vote straight MAGA party. I only hope we get another pro America alpha candidate in 2024.

Trump taught us how to win again. I'll never quit on him because he will never quit on US.

He got screwed over by the GOP and media the same way Bernie did. Red pilled me hard the way they treated him. I remember seeing him get second in the Iowa straw poll and thinking he really had a chance. Definitely had momentum and was popular on college campuses. Then I saw the absolute media blackout, literally skipping over the second place spot to talk about their shitty preferred candidate. I guess at the time it was Mittens.

I was at the California straw poll back in 2008. Sat through a bunch of BS promoting Fred Thompson. After that, the vote was opened and a bunch of Ron Paul supporters came in. When it was obvious Paul was going to win the strawpoll in a landslide, the vote was simply cancelled.

Last time I gave a dime to the Republican Party. I did donate the federal maximum to Ron Paul though anyhow. That's when I realized it didn't matter who you voted for and the fix was always in.

In 2008 they manufactured something they called the “Hukaboom” just so they could avoid talking about what was actually happening with Ron Paul

The only other candidate who had consistent 30+K people at his rally's. Lines that went on for miles. Would of been my first vote ever if they didn't steal it from him at the delegate voting. I had to wait a while to finally have someone else who I would vote for.

Same. I wanted him badly. Couldn't vote at that time though
