This 1000x.
We all know, or at least most of us do, that the Paul campaign cowered to Romney after threats were issued. He continued attacking Santorum and Gingrich, but completely abandoned any attacks against Mitt. It was obvious. If he couldn't make it through the GOP primaries without outing Romney for the corrupted crook he was, especially after threats were issued, how could he possibly have done any better in a general election where the media would have turned up the attack knob to maximum output in order to discard him. We got a preview of that with the newsletter attacks. It would have been infinitely more intense than that.
He had the opportunity to out Romney but refrained, because he doesn't believe in fighting that way, and instead focused on preaching good ol fashioned liberty and freedom, spreading the ideas of peace and love, spreading this message to as many as would listen. Love him for that and that's something to respect and honor, but it's not something that will help you win when fighting these snakes. In the long run I think he is going to prevail and be remembered in a very positive light, but in the 2000's, it's not going to get you very far politically speaking.
He would have been treated much worse.
For example, FOX would not be shilling for him 110% every second of the day.
And every GOPer in elected office would not be licking his balls.
He probably would have already been impeached, and on a bi-partisan basis (if not GOP alone).
The hatred toward Trump is quite different; it's not based on anything substantial; it's just noise-making for future election purposes.
It's no different than what the GOP did to Obama (or what the Dems did to Bush II, etc).

I would vote for him instead of Trump because that is the right thing to do but I would expect him to get nothing done before being impeached or assassinated and anything he did get done would then be undone, I didn't think this way back when he was running but watching what is happening to Trump has changed my point of view.
The best possibility would be if we had someone who is as hard and cunning as Trump but had more of Ron's principles.
Without a literal revolution we won't be able to charge full speed into the front of the enemy, some compromises and stratagems will be required.

US National Debt:
January 20, 2017: $19,947,304,555,212.49
January 20, 2019: $21,954,898,759,285.36
+ $2 trillion
...here's to getting things done!
It's hard for me to picture someone like Ron grabbing Jim Acosta by the tail and slinging him against the wall until he ends up in a senseless stupor. I think we need Trump to keep it up a bit longer until the media machine is gone. It is still the biggest obstacle to the presidency we face, IMO.
