No. Nothing would have changed. Unfortunately the Libertarian vote was basically a vote for Obama. Sorry, but its true.

So you voted for McCain in '08 & Mitt in '12 ??? Geezus, that may be worse. No....I know it's worse.

I was 20 years old. I DID vote for Ron Paul. I voted for him again in 2012. Welcome to the party pal.

To the others talking about Obama. How TF did yall not see this coming? He single handedly did the most to get us exactly where we are today. Including getting Trump to run . It's his acolytes we have been dealing with the last 8 years.

One of my greatest thrills/memories was the original tea party tax day protest

probably 2008-9 sitting in flying saucer in downtown Houston having beers with Ron Paul

There were me and two friends of mine that got bored with the rally needed to pee so we decided to get a beer and Ron Paul who couldn't get into the rally fight thru the crowd
we were the only ones in Flying Saucer who recognized him sat down and talked about baseball and red light cameras and the Fed

Don’t need a redo. I advocated for Ron Paul while I was in high school and college to friends in 2008 and 2012. Voted for him when I was finally old enough and Trump in 2016 to now. I believe Ron would be very pleased with how Trump is running his administration

If you could go back to 1992 would you vote for Ross Perot rather than Bush?

Perot was dead nuts on about the US Corporatocracy's selling out of the American people over 30 years ago.

Got laughed at by McCain, Mitt and Rudy folks when I volunteered for his campaign in 2008. The Republican Party was an absolute cesspool of neoconservatism then.

I didn't know who Paul was until the 1st debate and he taught Newt and myself an undeniable truth about liberty. I was shocked, never heard anything like him before. One debate answer sent me down a rabbit hole that changed the way I looked at everything.
