As much as you might want him to be. I’ve said I don’t think it’s any kind of back room conspiracy (and I certainly could be wrong on this), but the fact remains that the media has not and is unlikely to get behind him. They barely give him the time of day. He hasn’t and probably won’t get the media attention that Ross Perot got 20 and 16 years ago. Despite whether he might be electable if everyone knew who he was, they don’t and won’t. That makes him unelectable. That makes him an also-ran.
You mention media and electability determination in same paragraph like.. status quo, but things change, and real estate always goes up. If that’s how you want to see the world, not my way.
There isn’t a conspiracy.. I don’t have to look to know that media probably makes more money in times of war than any other, very easy to see why they don’t want Paul elected.
