power. if you seem weak, people don't believe you'll be able to do shit.

>(((Paul)))

That's why.

He did not play on as much of an 'enemy'. Trump outlined many enemies in his rhetoric, and promised to deal with them.

People still believed the myth that you couldn't win if you ran an anti-establishment candidate.

No fire
No hot blood
No MAGA

Ron didn't fight back enough. That's literally the only reason. His audience had more spine than he did.

Ron Paul was arguing for sensible things in a sensible time.

Trump rolled the Pendulum down hard once the left pushed itself too far.

>BLM
>Trans Insanity
>No Dem appeal to the Working Class
>Rapefugees
>Give Illegals total Citizenship

No

He didn't run again idiots at the same level as of idiocy trump's opponents

Poor turnout on the democrats side. The only reason Trump won is because Shillary was a shit candidate. Trump will get slaughtered in 2020

Time wasn't right and he wasn't nearly charismatic to light the torch.

It wasn't time.
People forget that Trump tried before, but America wasn't ready.

That and Ron Paul's voice is kind of shrill. He would have done better pre-radio.

He is too meek.

Is this the line you CTR assclowns are going with now?

Who in the fuck do you even think is going to do this slaughtering?

Ron Paul had low test. I could probably beat the shit out of him.

short

Media attention

>no meme magick

ron paul was going up against romney who is sort of what the gop wanted to see as a proper candidate that election

ron paul seemed like to much of a black sheep and the conservatives in america wanted to try pandering

now the wild card won because some one was smart enough to notice that the media misrepresents shit and most of the people who speak their minds on youtube comments and twitter dont give a fuck about pc culture

the hats. the maga hats won trump the election. the man knows how to pull some viral marketing.

Charisma and a sense of humor.

This is the only real answer.

wasn't as funny

that's it

It's not too late guys! We can still get Ron Paul into the whitehouse!!!

Because Libertarianism is fake and gay, only edgy polysci students really believe in it.

RON PAUL FOR TREASURY.

He wasn't outrageous enough to wrestle media attention from the other candidates. He stayed on message without any scandal whatsoever. They actively shut him out in spite of his high energy supporters. They really missed a chance to derail Obama's success because of this childish stonewalling.

Get in this thread, faggots so we can end the Federal Reserve!

no

Your days are through with Kike!

Paul was right, but before his time. Back then times were better and many of Paul's arguments were largely ignored by normals.
Nowadays he would've had a great chance if he ran for the Libertarian candidate but he's all but retired.

That, plus Paul is low energy and way too old and frail to fight the establishment. Paul thought he could win by making peace to spread his message. So he cozied up to the republican establishment, but it still didn't bring change. We needed a true aggressor like Trump to finish the job.

Most of us on Sup Forums respect Paul a lot, and he was a great visionary, but his message was too early for the masses to understand it.

He was too nice.

That is what you wanted guys

This.
Ron Paul is a nice, sensible man, who respectfully presents his ideas, this kind of shit only works on people who have some intellect to value those things.
That and he came too early, trump won in a volatile time where lunatics throw fuel against themselves daily.

anger at the status quo was just starting to build at the time, it blew up now

Libertarianism is not popular with the people

we want safety and gibsmedats

yep i thing hillary vs trump vs Ron would had been a nice competition. He would had a chance to become president.

HIT THE WARP DRIVE AND END THE FED!

Good guy, but a bit of a pussy.

Also, see his recent infomercials.

He was no savior.

GOD BLESS TRUMP

PAUL HAS SHIT ON TRUMP ALL YEAR AND WAS DOING SO JUST A FEW DAYS AGO ON ALEX JONES

THIS IS A CTR TACTIC TO SOW DIVISION (e.g. "Trump didn't appoint Ron Paul? WTF I hate Trump now")

RON HAS ZERO CHANCE AS HE IS ANTI-TRUMP

he was running against a black man, and everyone knew Obama would win

Ron Paul received practically zero media coverage compared to Trump.

He always came across as sort of whiny and scolding. He also wasn't good at playing the media; he let them jerk him around instead of the other way around.

because he's controlled opposition, dumbass

yes he did

proofs this is a shilling operation... retarded redditor doesn't even know how to link a thread

Read dilbertmememan.

Also Trump hit the demographic of people that feel threatened by america becoming more "diverse".

it's simple, someone has to carry the burden of insider rhetoric. that's the whole neocon thing that works... we can't just rebel against america, then we'd just be a bunch of french cucks. sure the french revolution is great, but really wasn't hitler kind of right about the ubermensch... we crave authority, to be the world authority with a worthy leader

It wasn't time yet. And Trump had better name recognition.

>implying Congress won't pass the strictest voter ID laws ensuring Republican presidents for the next 50 years

Is he a Jew? I've recently suspected he is, since he allowed the Media to completely bury him in the Romney election without fighting one bit.

Also he never endorsed Trump.

Is Ron Paul controlled opposition?

Trump is the troll king

Ron Paul is Bernie 1.0. He's controlled opposition.

because Trump won the Republican nomination

Damn, this really hits hard. I hadn't cut the cord, man. I still loved and respected him...

Not as charismatic and he didn't come along at the exact point when everybody was sick to death of liberal white guilt bullshit.

ron paul is still our guy, he is just so incredibly low energy that it makes you question if he actually believes what he says

a low energy populist candidate can never win

He was way too polite and low energy, couldn't stand out in a crowd. Populist politicians have to be assholes. Plus Trump already being a celebrity certainly helped.

Trump was literally the only person on this earth that could have won this election.

He was three steps ahead of the enemy, who rounded up the smartest and most powerful people in the world, for an entire year. Unlimited funding. They played dirty, they got away with murder, and pulled out every dirty lie they could to try and discredit him.

I don't care what Trump does. I believe he will live up to all of his promises, but if he doesn't he can do whatever the fuck he wants, he worked his ass off. He completed a miracle.

Ron Paul is just a limped wrist cuck. He probably voted for Hillary.

he's pretty much the only person that addresses the problems of the fed reserve in house. and even goes on national tv and points out that its a problem.

i don't know why people think awfully of him. he's really the kind of person that appeals to those who think for themselves.

Liberals don't think for themselves.

it really seems like you can replace liberals with people at this point.

trump isnt a savoir, he's part of the equation

thesis+anti thesis=synthesis

making people fight against a NWO will usher in the NWO everyone fears.
