Mitt didn't pull many independent moderates. He pulled moderate progressive Republicans. The GOP base.
All the independents in this town, had Ron Paul in their sights.
But it all looked good on paper the day before the election. Mitt was picked to win, hands down. What happened. He lost all the Ron Paul Revolution.
Considering how they were treated during the primaries, I can see how that happened.

Yeah. All 2% of it. A 2% primary win does not a revolution make. With Mitt's Mexican half of his family, a person would think Mitt could have made that 2% up if he had been just a little smarter and used his Mexican connections more to his advantage.
Rand Paul has some pretty good slogans. Without knowing him, and taking his claims at face value, some people might be tricked to into voting for an illusion...
The Washington Machine That Gobbles Up Our Freedoms... Must Be Stopped'
Pledges to end unconstitutional NSA surveillance
I see an America where criminal justice is applied equally
This was the money quote for me:
"At home, conservatives understand that government is the problem, not the solution.
Conservatives should not succumb, though, to the notion that a government inept at home will somehow succeed in building nations abroad."
Rand Paul, 04/07/2015
He, like Cruz, and even Sarah Palin (if she ever gets back into politics) are best left in the Senate. That's where their talents most likely lie. Cruz will go down just another Huckabee, Rand will go the way of his dad (much of what they say is way, way over most people's heads, and they are a little screwy; not to mention, the media will utterly kill him - even though he's more likely then others to be able to deal with that), and that Sarah Palin girl? well she's the perfect antidote to screwballs like Nancy Pelosi, et al.(you fight fire with fire).
I'm waiting for Walker (or even Rick Snyder, more likely 2020 for him). I want to hear what they have to say.
"We're crooks and will move the goalposts at pleasure to make sure the company man wins."-The GOP. I'll be supporting Rand and campaigning for him but I'm anticipating the corrupt "leaders" of the GOP to find a way to screw Rand over too.
Thus I'll be "taking it up" with the party's "leaders" in the same fashion I did in 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014. I'll be supporting Nobody again:
Nobody never wins an election. Somebody always wins.

America would be no different under President Romney today than it is under President Obama. In fact we might be worse off because we might have already invaded Iran. You can find the difference between Romney and Obama under a microscope perhaps but on all the big issues they are essentially the same.

What about with Ron Paul as President, I honestly think we would be the same anyway because the president only signs, vetos and bully pulpits bills, nominates cabinet members and judges and signs executive orders. We would still have the same congress to deal with when they don't compromise.
Boooooo......no Republicans in office, we don't want to go back to the stone ages....vote for an independent.
Ok, which independent party and candidate do we vote for? In 2012 there was what five or so candidates on the Arizona ballot when talking about president as well as the write in option. The problem with voting independent is the third party vote is too fractured and there is no strong enough party to be a threat. None since 2000 had more than 4% o f the popular vote.
