He's a Republican... In many young areas, especially online in most places, I see this crazy Ron Paul thing that I do not understand. I am open minded.
1. He proposes solutions that are very easy to understand.
2. He has the image of challenging the status quo. Young people like people who want to challenge the status quo.
3. He is authentic and guides his actions by principles instead of real politik.
4. He is 100% antiwar and antipariotic act.

Because of those reasons I understand that a lot of young folks are for him.
He has on the other hand areas like public healthcare, welfare or bordersecurity clear Republincan standpoints that would rule him out for myself (I'm German so I can't vote anyway).
Having him nominated from the republican party on the other hand would probably have a good effect on the internal dynamics in the Republican party.

Does he have a chance?
If he wins I would say history repeats itself (the south korea 2002 "internet election").
At the moment it doesn't look like it (from the pools).

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
