Remember, Perot had a scary weird attitude, a weirder VP, was short and had big ears, and the country was in much better shape than it is today
and he STILL got 20 percent of the vote.
today, a record number of people are pessimistic about the future of our once great nation, perpetual recession is taking a toll as an expensive illegal war rages on, our debt is spectacularly high even though it was supposed to be the republiscum who were the 'small government' folk, our Constitution is all but dead, gone evaporated the next government manufactured tragedy that strikes this nation, 47.2 million illegals over the border since Bush the Second entered office illegally, and to top it off, this year the Democraps roll into town on a public mandate only to pick up fresh pork for themselves instead of throwing the criminals out.
I dunno, you think a cogent, SANE, intelligent, calm, honest man, in the age of the internet, and in this dire time can't get more than 20%?
I suspect Paul will not get the Republican nomination, because of course, the ELITES control this process.
I suspect Paul will then, despite his current protestations, enter as a new party and garner a healthy 25-27%. I hope it is more than that, enough to make him president. I suspect if he does win, the ELITES will rig the system against him-- but that is another level of disaster altogether.
While this nation is all but doomed to collapse in the next decade, I do feel it is possible that the US population can make Paul our hero president if only enough people pull their heads out of their asses in time.
I would rather have a US on a healthy, cautious isolationist path than on a reckless, money losing, fascistic, kamikaze, style degeneracy.
But maybe it is all that the US, the loser emigrants from the home countries that rejected their ancestors, deserve-- to show off their piggish violent drunken ways everyone else suspected the US was always capable of.
