| President Trump! | |
| While chants of President Paul have long been silenced, the Congressman's supporters may still have an unexpected opportunity to get Ron Paul elected to high office. | |
| That's because in 2014, the seat for Texas Governor will be open. | |
| While a spokesperson for the Congressman has stated to InfoWars that the doctor is not interested in the position, many activists can argue that a large-scale grassroots effort promoting this idea could prompt him to reconsider. | |
| Current Texas Governor Rick Perry has stated he does intend to seek re-election, despite the fact he has already held this position for 12 years, and a recent Dallas Morning News poll shows a majority of Texans don't think he should run again. | |
| I recently asked visitors at the Texas Capitol building in Austin what they thought of this possibility. | |
| Do you think Ron Paul should run for Governor of Texas? | |
| Yes. | |
| Why? | |
| I think he's a good politician. | |
| He gives the rights to the people, not as much government interference, which is something I prefer. | |
| He's also a very confident politician, very experienced, and I believe he'd do a great job. | |
| Do you think he has a shot of winning? | |
| Possibly, if he gets his message out there and really conveys to the people that the best interest in his mind is Texans. | |
| I think he should. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, he seems like a guy that might actually do a little bit better than Rick Perry. | |
| He seems to be a little bit more caring for people and stuff like that. | |
| You know what I mean? | |
| Do you think Ron Paul would have a shot of winning? | |
| A realistic shot of winning? | |
| Not really. | |
| Do you think Ron Paul should run for Governor of Texas? | |
| No, I don't. | |
| I really don't. | |
| Why not? | |
| I don't care for him too much. | |
| I just don't care for his policies and some of the things he stands for. | |
| Do you think he could win if he ran? | |
| Probably not. | |
| It's hard to tell, but I don't think so. | |
| A lot of people don't care for some of his issues, but some he has that are good, but the underlying things I really don't care for. | |
| I don't think so because he doesn't really have any experience in governing. | |
| Do you think he could win if he ran for governor of Texas? | |
| I don't think so. | |
| Why not? | |
| He's too much of an individual and not part of the machine. | |
| You have to be part of the machine here in order to win. | |
| If Ron Paul were to win the election, he would be 79 years old on election day. | |
| While some may argue that his elder age would be viewed as a negative to his campaign, it is important to note that he would have been serving as a public servant at this age had he won the presidency. | |
| Advocates can also argue that a statewide campaign would be far less taxing on the congressman and his family than a national campaign, and that he can choose to serve for just one term. | |
| In a recent blog posted by former Paul spokesman Doug Weed, he states that he does not rule out the possibility that Dr. Paul will run for public office again. | |
| However, he was referring to a presidential run. | |
| A recent University of Texas poll shows that most state residents are happy with the direction the state is currently going in. | |
| The survey also shows that while the economy is the most important issue for most Americans, | |
| illegal immigration and border security are the two most important issues for Texans. | |
| Residents I spoke to, however, would want Dr. Paul to address another issue if he were to win. | |
| I've been reading a few articles about people that are wrongly convicted and to me that's | |
| kind of disheartening because I don't know anybody personally that was in that situation, | |
| But from hearing their stories and stuff like that, you know, it kind of devastates their family. | |
| I'd like to see any governor or any candidate for governor address the death penalty and speak about abolishing it again. | |
| It's very unjust. | |
| Always fighting on behalf of liberty. |
