Since there is a lot of PaulBots on this website. I wondered where the website would go if he dropped out. This provoked me to think what the media would do and who his support would go to. Now after debating that in my head I have answers.
I'll start with this website. It would start with complaints from the libertarians. A long session of those. Exactly how complaints came when Palin dropped out. Then after a few days they'll start writing about their search for a new candidate or just go back to the real issues. It would be an exciting time for the website and I'll read more libertarian articles to see a little more than their support for Ron Paul. Although no candidate is equal to Ron Paul.
This brings me to my next question. Who would his support go to? The answer to that is simple, Ron Paul. All in refusing to vote or write ins. Ron Paul supporters are some of the most active and loyal supporters of a political candidate. I assure you that most Ron Paul support will stay with him. All the candidates will suddenly become closer to his views. If he loses support there the media will pester him with third party questions. He says he doesn't want to run on a third party ticket!! Is he speaking a different language.
My final question is how would the media react? As I said before they would ask him if would run with a third party. But mostly they would claim it as expected and say Ron Paul never had a chance. But most media stations would drop the story the next day. They'd hope people forget about Paul quickly.
So thanks for reading. Please leave a comment. Have a nice day. And if you like reading on this site I recommend you start writing here yourself. Happy election season:)!!
