Yeah, it is the case. When I said a lot of people, I just meant there were several I could think of, not a large percentage of the people I know.
So a few million people like him. There are hundreds of millions that think he is a crazy person.
That's still a significant number. The Republicans shunning of grass roots activism is the latest installment of killing Democracy in America.
Absolutely, I agree with that whole-heartedly. Still, he shouldn't get the nomination because he doesn't have enough supporters. He should have all of his delegates counted at the National Convention though.
Somewhat pertinent: political parties are not required to have state by state primaries / delegates choose the candidate are they? Can't a political party just choose its candidate? I know they always do, and it is in the interest of a candidate who is more representative of the party's members to have one, but it isn't actually required by anyone outside of said political party, right?
Oh well I guess we're on the same page then. I agree he shouldn't have gotten the nomination, but he did collect a good amount of delegates and even won a few states. The grown up thing to do would be to let him speak at the convention and let his supporters cast delegates in his name.
Instead, the Republitards black mailed him into supporting Romneycrat so he could take part in the convention, and since RP is an honorable man he lol'd and said eff you. Then they go and change the rules so another Ron Paul type candidate will never happen again. Why would any of Paul's supporters vote for Romney after this?
There is absolutely no reason to vote in this presidential election. It's sad that this is what we've come to.
To your second paragraph, i'm not sure. I don't think so. The parties have rules and they make their own rules (and now change them to silence grass roots).
