Who is the "they" you are referring to?
I would say the leading Republican is about as likely to take your guns and steal your land as the leading Democrat.
Yeah. This is the cute little fabrication I see made by all of you Paul supporters. "Oh they are all the same". "A vote for anyone but Paul is a vote for Hillary". Well I hate to burst your bubble, but thats just completely untrue.
All one has to do is to look at the gridlock in congress to know that there is a distinct difference between the two parties. While rebublicans certianly do need major improvement, to say that they are no different shows sheer stupidity.
Which party has cut taxes and is trying to make the cuts permanent.
Which party is trying to raise taxes.
Which party believes illegal aliens should recieve drivers licenses
Which party killed the immigration bill.
Which party lobbys for gun control.
Which party believes in universal health care.
Which party thinks the free market is a better place for investment vis a vis social security.
These are just some of the many examples. Republicans and democrats are not the same. Not by any stretch of the imagination. "They're all horrible" is the rallying cry of the lazy. Those of you waiting for the day when things are perfect haven't been paying attention to the last 200+ years of american politics.
What "STAGE 2" here fails to appreciate is that the Republican front runners are doomed regardless of how I vote. One scenario results in a Democrat victory and a clear message of reform to the Republicans, while the other results in a Democrat victory and the mistaken impression that I approve of the current situation.
If this guy is serious about defeating Hillary, he'd best get behind a candidate who can actually defeat the Dems instead of bellyachin' about how I won't vote for someone I don't like.
I'm as serious as a heart attack. But here's the problem. There isn't any evidence what so ever that 1) suggest Hillary is unbeatable or 2) that Paul can win either the nomination, or the general election.
Your "feelings" or some lame straw poll where 200 people vote doesn't mean anything. Paul is out matched in the funds department, and hes being crushed in the polls.
Hillary has problems as well. She may have a high favorable rating, but she's also the only candidate with an unfavorable rating that's almost as high. And this doesn't even begin to take into account that very large skeleton vault she's dragging around.
So with all that said, do you have any valid evidence to support either premise? Here's a hint, "Paul has been gaining" or "Pauls support is getting stronger" isn't evidence. Paul's numbers could triple and that would put him at a tie with Huckabee, who no one thinks has a chance.
