Remember he had the highest approval rating among all active duty military members. So the possibility that the anonymous billionaire and high ranking whatevers (possibly being team Q) doesn’t seem too far fetched. They needed someone without any corrupt dealings in their past, so RP fits the bill.

If you recall, the media really dragged him - mocked him as a crackpot, then gave him zero airtime when they realized he actually had grassroots support and raised a couple million in a few days all from small donations. At the time, I couldn’t understand why Fox didn’t do more to support him 😆 Now I know why!

That’s why he was unsuccessful imo. He was ahead of his time with the policies and ideas he espoused. And the majority of people were too deep asleep to appreciate him. He’s also too mild mannered to fight aggressively for airtime, making him an easy target.

Ugh, what could’ve been! We could have been spared the Obama years if he was successful.
