He books another win:

Just to clarify. What he won was the Louisiana caucus. Which guarantees him at least roughly 40% of Louisiana’s 46 delegates. Most of the rest are uncommitted, and based on his monsterous 6% of the vote in the Louisian primary vote held about a month ago, he may get more than 1/2 of the total delegates. He’s developed a pretty good plan for the caucuses. But when it’s a more standard voting election, he can’t stand up against other candidates. Which is why he remains unelectable.

Maybe he can introduce a bill to change the electoral college and our good old one person one vote system to a system of caucuses for the general election.

While I dont think he has a snowball’s chance in hell of getting elected its not bad to have contrarian viewpoints in the mix. Some of his views are solid and some are off kilter. Let him have his day. It makes perfect sense that he would have some of his strongest support in Lousiana. His district is along the Gulf coast of Texas directly adjacent to the portion of LA which is the population center of that state.

I wonder if he ever regrets ever adopting some of those “off kilter” views so long ago. He’s stuck with them to the end now. And the end will come with a high-pitched whimper.

No the media doesn’t give him attention which is why his voter turnout is low…good try though.

If you can’t name a single off-kilter thing he ever said, then it’s not a true statement. I bet you can’t name one.

We already have competing currencies across the globe. How is legalizing the constitutional gold currency (and others)a bad idea? He didn’t propose to force it on anyone, only to allow the market to see if it could come up with something that might work. It is completely rational.
