He's the only candidate running that's within the 2 party system who is different. They all are the same, from both sides of the aisle they are in it for their corporate masters. He won't get the Repub. nomination because the system will never allow it. So let us all hope that he runs as a 3rd party candidate. If he does step up he will garner a large number of votes and will definitely peel off a large number of Repub. votes Ron Paul has made it very clear he is going to remain a Republican. Although, his views are very different from most Republicans.

The third party that influenced the results of the 1912 presidential election was the Progressive Party, also known as the Bull Moose Party. It was formed by former President Theodore Roosevelt, who split from the Republican Party and ran as a third-party candidate. Roosevelt's campaign split the Republican vote, ultimately benefiting the Democratic candidate, Woodrow Wilson, who won the election.

The spoiler is a political candidate (sometimes of a third party) who has little to no chance of winning an election but can still decide the fate of an election by taking votes away from other candidates.
