Trump was able to win the primaries in 2016 because the RNC changed the rules in 2012 to suppress Ron Paul, who was trying for a "brokered" election. The rules the RNC passed in 2012 prevented them from denying Trump the nomination in 2016.
If Ron Paul and his supporters hadn't done so well in 2012, Trump wouldn't have won in 2016.
(b) (1) For the 2016 national convention, each candidate for nomination for resident of the United States and Vice President of the United States shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these rules or any rule of the House of Representatives, to demonstrate the support required of this paragraph a certificate evidencing the affirmative written support of the required number of permanently seated delegates from each of the eight (8) or more states shall have been submitted to the secretary of the convention not later than one (1) hour prior to the placing of the names of candidates for nomination pursuant to this rule and the established order of business.
They thought people liked him for maymays, they didn’t realize so many people were really actually on board with the man and the maymays were just fun and informative.
With all the revelations of cheating, I'm convinced the primaries were rigged in Romney's favor. Paul got more momentum than expected and so they brought in the fix early.
That’s what I’m sayin dude. He got so many people into Austrian Economics, Murray Rothbard, FA Hayek, Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, etc. opened up my world. For that he’s a hero of mine. I’m friends with someone who’s friends of his and he tells me Ron is the genuine article. I was told “Rand is not his father” but after recent events maybe Rand is coming around...he’s def more of a politician.
And he got cheated out of the nomination by Mitt Romney’s henchmen.
The people we’re up against have exponentially more funds and lawyers

The rule the RNC changed was "40b" which states:
THIS !! There is No One like Ron Paul.
And people wonder why Trump has to be an asshole sometimes. Only way to shatter the coordinated attacks.

i think it was the military that helped stop the theft of the 2016 election.
I think it was the hubris of the Deep State.
And I voted for him anyway
Same!

I recently saw old footage of a Ron Paul rally at a Cali uni and was blown away by the crowd size!
For me it was 2012 Ron Paul

his book "The Revolution: A Manifesto" changed my way of looking at the world forever.
"Rule 40b" made by GOP on the last minute to stop a Ron Paul nomination.
Same rule that screwed over a Ted Cruz nomination.
