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.
