I have a question though. Say Paul becomes President. How much will he be able to do? He'll have to deal with an entire Congress opposed to his views. |
Congress can be swayed more easily than you'd think. As President, Paul's status is perceived as raised in their minds, and his voice can more easily be heard by all.
As president, *NO ONE* can ignore him for long, especially not congress.
Also, for this reason, constituents are more likely to vote in favor of legislation that he tries to pass.
If he wins, it sends a clear message to congress that this is who the american people want to listen to.
Politicians want to keep their jobs, so they'll bow.
