Ron Paul supporters have always been cynical of Rand in general. Either way Ron Paul can be proud that before he retired he was able to get a large amount of disengaged  teenagers involved in questioning the politics of Washington and being politically critical of their candidates.

Hopefully his father does so too, thereby ending the Paul cult once and for all.

Didn't Ron Paul make it clear he wouldn't endorse Romney because of the Neo-Con feel of Romney's foreign policy?

Paultards, accept the inevitable!

We don't want any far out rhetoric.  We just want your votes.
Don't most Ron Paul supporters identify themselves as independents? I don't understand why people assume that Ron Paul supporters would actually support Romney. Ron Paul supports hate Mitt Romney pro-war aggressive foreign policy just as much as they hate Obama's big government spending. In fact I remember hearing a poll that said that if the election came down to Romney vs Obama most Paul supporters wouldn't even vote

Expected

I also expect Ron to give Romney somewhat of an endorsement - his son actually has a shot at winning the nomination, so he's going to do what he can to make sure that happens. It makes sense, considering how well he treated Romney during the primary.

The reason Ron Paul treated Romney better than the other candidates was very simple. Ron Paul stated that he disagreed with nearly all the epublicans candidates on foreign policy/other economic issues but guys like Santorum and Gingrich were the type of politicans who wouldn't even listen to his ideas whiles he stated that him and Romney could have open conversations and Romney would actually listen to him even though they disagreed on nearly everything. That's the key concept, having a man potentially in office that's willing to listen to the people around him on foreign policy and other issues instead of the other repub candidates with hardline stances is crucial.
