This is a great point. Many people do not know that a very similar scenario took place in 88', or do not know the extent to which it shaped the Republican party's views, and how those views have changed up until today. Ron Paul, despite whether he wins the nomination, which he probably won't, will have created something that has the ability to get more done in the long run than he ever could alone as president of the USA. That's just the flat truth.
It would be much more beneficial to shape the views of the party, ensuring a more Constitutional future, among other things...IF we can hold out that long. I do feel the movement will not end with the election, and if Paul loses we the people will have created a foothold in the Republican party which can be beneficial in the future. I don't know if things will work out this way, no one really does, but it is the best that can be hoped for in the event that Paul doesn't receive the nomination.

Any man that lays his head down at night and dreams of being in the oval office is deluded. I like to think Ron Paul isn't deluded.
However, I also think that in order to enact the things he desires it would require dictatorial powers to stem the literal deluge of globalist scumbags that will try to stop him.
It's called Hegelian Dialect. Basically, it's not his plan, whether he realizes it or not.

For real? ok..
He's basically saying that what Ron Paul, Ron Paul's campaign, the Ron Paul movement, etc.. is doing may prove to have a more powerful and longer lasting effect on US politics than a Ron Paul presidency would. He likens a lot of what's going on to Pat Robertson's injection of influence into the GOP platform as a result of his run in '88.
