Ron Paul will Suspend his Campaign in five weeks

Not sure if in right place if not please move. But it is a prediction.

Just like He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named followers love to do, I am going to read between the lines here in this ABC article.

For Ron Paul, Next Five Weeks Are Critical

I predict that he won't drop out on super tuesday, but he will drop out a month or two afterwards. Why?

Well.

he has still never won a state.

He has no plans after March 24. Now, this might not mean anything and I am sure you all will agree with that, but maybe the campaign is looking at an end date especially if Santorum wins the next three states like he is projected to do so.

Benton said the campaign is immediately focused on the contest Tuesday in Minnesota, followed by Missouri, Maine, Washington, North Dakota, Kansas, Hawaii, and Missouri. But the list of immediate priorities ends with Louisiana on March 24.

Ron Paul only has 20 delegates behind even Gingrich with 32. www.realclearpolitics.com...

Santorum is projected to win Michigan and Ohio. He is rising in Arizona and has a very good chance at taking Romney's lead.

Gingrich has got Georgia but he will drop out shortly after winning that state.. He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named will not win anything going into Super Tuesday. He will not add anymore campaign stops after March 24.

Very misleading title!

ETA: My bad, just saw that this is under Predictions!

It's a prediction...

I predict you're wrong. Then again, only a true seer would base a prediction by reading between the lines of an ABC article.



LOL.

Also, you should maybe do a little more digging to find out the REAL delegate count, theres actually quite a few threads available for your perusal on this very site! Good luck finding the answers you seek

Cheers

Well I tend to go by actual facts as reported to realclearpolitics, not how many delegates that He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named devoted followers feel that he should have gotten. Please point me to a thread that has not been already debunked about the so-called real delegates that he should have gotten.

The good thing about this prediction is that it's posted in the predictions forum and I've never seen one come to pass

I've never seen He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named win a state. One or the other will happen! lolz.

I gave you a star and a flag for this thread .....
Sad thing is, even if this happens (which is likely, why bother if you're constantly in last place anyway?), I can predict dozens of "how the gubmint held RP down" threads over the next 10 months.

Is this the thread for Ron Paul haters?
Wow, it is pretty dull in here...like a padded cell.
Oh, and, Ron Paul will not drop out. He is going to win. The little choo choo that could, will.

Well, I figured this would happen, never thought I would get insulted for thinking something other than He-Who-Shall-Not-Named be President. Oh well. Guess this will be buried and placed off topic...

With all due respect, that’s not a prediction because those threads started before the race even started!

But you’re right, the number of posts about voter fraud, media bias etc will rise unless my prediction comes true – that RP drops out and endorses Romney in exchange for a position in the administration. I think Paulites will begin to drop like flies!

If Ron Paul was a normal candidate...I would agree with you. But Ron Paul is not a normal candidate.

I honestly don't believe Ron Paul has ever intended to actually win. I think he is just in this to try to spread his Libertarian message. Because he IS a libertarian...so why is he in the Republican party??? He is just trying to infiltrate and shift their ideology.

Ron Paul will stay in this until the convention and hope to get a prime speaking position at the convention. IMO, this is and already has been his goal. Of course he isn't going to tell his supporters that...because he needs them to think he is in this to win it...otherwise they won't go out and vote to get him a minimum amount of delegates he needs to get to the convention.

Ron Paul supporters will hate to hear this...but Ron Paul is flat out manipulating them. He campaigns to fire up his existing, but very small, base of supporters. He does nothing to try to expand that base. But he needs that base to be very very engaged and LOUD...so he manipulates them into thinking he really has a chance...and they are eating it up.

So I will have to disagree with you, just for the fact that Ron Paul isn't in this to win...he is in this to try to spread his crazy ideology. Hey...and it doesn't hurt that he is making some nice money doing it too.
