Would you have voted for him? Why?

I don't like any politicians/parties these last 2 or 3 years. None of the 2016 candidates that have surfaced so far have impressed me either.

Not even Waka????
side story: [I hate people who are biased-wich makes me feel like a hypcrite when saying thisn, but...]

Almost all polititians are hypocrites & some degree of either liars or a bag of false promises. I have very complicated feelings on the matter but if I had to boil it down and make it as simple as possible it would come down to: I just don't trust any of them
If I HAD to narrow down to one party I'd say Republican simply because one of my 2 favorite colors is read & I enjoyed the Mass Effect 3 Illusive Man jokes about Mitt Romney. Neither of them are better than the other but I say it out of balance & truth, not bias. I tie them to the actions of the leaders not the stereotypes that media & bashers give the followers (I.E. I certainly do NOT think of Republicans or Democrats as the insulting generic terms the opposing party radicals give them such as racists or gay or blah blah bla))

He would've died in office two weeks after being inaugurated. He's so old.

He knows his shit, his for the people, and he more focus on home, but Washington is too greedy, I don't think any bill will pass if he is in office.

Back then I would have, but I wouldn't with the views I have now.

I think he's one of the most honest guys, but I just disagree with him now on climate change, same-*** marriage, states rights, and almost everything, really.

Jacque Fresco is 98 years old and still pursuing his project.

Ron Paul was one of the few, if not the only genuine candidate without strings attached to him like the other puppets. He lost because of the rigged voting system.

Ron Paul lost because he's a Libertarian with chips on the Tea Party who wants to abolish Social Security. He was popular with some people because he wanted to legalize weed, but don't tell me he lost because of a rigged voting system. I don't like the electoral college any more than you do, but that's not why Ron Paul lost and it's not why his son's going to lose.

Yeah,pissed me off when I've heard people have voted for him but yet came back as 0.
When people demand a recount it was stated they couldn't and Romney took the spot.

Republicans didn't like him for his views saying he was too crazy and democrats were afraid of him.

1. Media outlets deliberately depicted him as a jolly old man not to be taken seriously, misinterpreted his words to the public and cut off RP followers when they had something meaningful to say in an interview.

2. He was given tough questions in live debates which he owned and you could see the displeased mugs of the hosts. Plus, he put other candidates in their place when they spoke nonsense. The american delusional sense of patriotism (for example: don't surrender to those terrorists) is beautifully depicted in arguments RP had with muppets of the state. Not being able to reason with logic, they just cut him off or force him to change the topic into their favor.

3. Look into the adjustments that the voting system went through..

4. Is against big government/federal reserve, upholds the constitution, etc etc. In short: He was a thorn in the eyes of the people that are rapidly realizing their goal of turning u.s.a. in a expensionist, fascist police state. So, they made a mockery of him in media outlets to sway the public opinion.

And there is no denying that that country and other nations it influences are going into that direction. My country included which can be noticed in various ways.
