I am more or less center not loyal one iota to a party. I like him,Ron Paul on Foriegn policy and monetary policy concerns which perhaps not that many average Americans tune in and study deeply. His views on the Iraq war could playout big but as some have already posted he will be shot down for being “unpatriotic” and “not supportive enough of the troups” compared to the rest.He will be painted in the media as being weaker than the man or woman we need in case we really do have to “defend our way of life” which I always interpret to mean wealth, against Iran or others.Again I like him for some things better than I am going to like anyone else.
But he seems like a dyed in the wool republican on the other issues like immigration, guns, race which are the ones that are going to play out along with other similiar topics as the election cycle goes on and for better of for worse, do matter to me too and I sympathize with the liberals on these.
Some of his tax/spending ideas sound pretty unrealistic…good to hear but never going to happen and I think he loses credibility left and right if he stresses them to a nation wide audiences. IMO
My two cents..I don’t think he can win or even be a front runner very deep into the campaigns. He might work as a good lure to get people to look at the republicans for a while.Before Conchos good old boy comes to the forefront.
