Paul has great ideas, but he rambles. He son does the same thing. The world works on 30 second sound bites and the Pauls give 45 minute speeches.
They also present themselves as unwilling to negotiate. Ron Paul was referred to as “Mr. No.” if all you do is shoot down other’s ideas, they’re less than willing to work with you. You get put on an island by yourself. Trump negotiates, the Pauls do not.
This is the reason. Trump knew just what to say to keep the spotlight on himself. Ron was a politician, but honest and principled. Easy to ignore and gaslight.
Instill remember watching in disbelief while Fox News reported a round of polls in the 2012 primaries with Romney in first place with 32%, and John McCain trailing in third at 9%, while completely omitting Paul in second place with 31%. They just pretended he didn’t exist.
There used to be a great vid on YouTube with a compilation of how he was ignored like that dozens of times. Of course its gone. Was named something like how the media cheated blacklisted Ron Paul. I remember him in 08 filling college stadiums and reddit was super pro Ron Paul Revolution. Then they made big strides in ai bots and disinfo entites like ShariaBlue.
They tried to do the same thing to Trump too, but couldn’t pull it off because he had too much popular support.
Trump is much better at taking control of the narrative and gaining publicity than Paul ever was.

You can have a great mind but other faults.
Most of the ideas coming out of Congress suck. Voting “NO” should be the default.
That being said, Ron promoted positive ideas. See his books on homeschooling and, of course, “End the Fed”

Trump, as a leader, is far better than Paul was or could be. Paul was a great man, but too ideological and definitely not aggressive enough.
