16. Ron Paul is Getting Desperate

Fri Nov 13, 2015, 09:48 AM

Nov 2015

He needs something to get his campaign moving.

If I'm not mistaken, Bernie is not allowed any debates outside the Democratic Party, as per Wasserman.

I do remember Ron Paul and Ralph Nader coming on TV together to discuss the issues. It was interesting.

A Debate between Sanders and Paul won't happen unless Rand Paul gets the Republican nomination. It won't happen.

It would be very interesting to see a Trump / Sanders Debate. A more likely scenario.

Highlight:

Paul challenges Sanders to ideological debate [View all] think Nov 2015 OP

I think that would be pretty cool, actually oberliner Nov 2015 #1

Bernie needs to takes him up on that challenge. For many American it would be extremely enlightening think Nov 2015 #3

Yeah! What an opportunity! ananda Nov 2015 #41

I agree! nt LostOne4Ever Nov 2015 #6

I believe Sherman A1 Nov 2015 #2

Like THAT's going to happen! Paul's obviously desperate for attention. Hortensis Nov 2015 #4

Paul isn't going to seduce Bernie supporters away Art_from_Ark Nov 2015 #8

"Bernie supporters might also be concerned that Paul would manage to seduce them away." tazkcmo Nov 2015 #9

Well, it's been working the other way too: Paul has lost supporters to Sanders. Hortensis Nov 2015 #13

I took no offense at your "poke". tazkcmo Nov 2015 #14

Bad idea trumad Nov 2015 #5

IMO Good idea. Bernie is already unfairly straddled with the term "socialism" think Nov 2015 #7

Is "socialism" a bad word? Dawgs Nov 2015 #11

You keep using it like it's a bad word. Rogue Democrat Nov 2015 #12

Amazing how a guy "saddled" with a term like that is kicking Republican ASS bullwinkle428 Nov 2015 #22

Amazing how so many here on DU who should know American politics... trumad Nov 2015 #23

You got that right.... daleanime Nov 2015 #29

Definitely too many anti-social Americans for that to happen. GeorgeGist Nov 2015 #37

Those with Clinton avatars sure are eager to saddle him with it. Goblinmonger Nov 2015 #28

Yes the American people shouldn't be confused by Warren Stupidity Nov 2015 #38

Frankly, Bernie should treat Rand like something that... JHB Nov 2015 #10

I say Bernie should take him up on it. Smarmie Doofus Nov 2015 #15

Don't you mean.... daleanime Nov 2015 #30

Ron Paul is Getting Desperate gordyfl Nov 2015 #16

Rand, not Ron oberliner Nov 2015 #17

This reminds me of the Anarcho-Capitalist's demand that Paul Krugman debate Robert Murphy. HughBeaumont Nov 2015 #18

Bernie has nothing to gain by agreeing Javaman Nov 2015 #19

Paul needs a publicity stunt far more than Bernie does muriel_volestrangler Nov 2015 #20

Man I would pay per view this! WaitWut Nov 2015 #21

I'd like to see that...BUT.... joeybee12 Nov 2015 #24

I would definitely watch it (nt) Nye Bevan Nov 2015 #25

Bernie would never do such a thing KamaAina Nov 2015 #26

Hopefully, they will debate several times next year Reter Nov 2015 #27

Great idea HassleCat Nov 2015 #31

HA GOODMAN's head would explode! MADem Nov 2015 #32

Win the nomination and you'll get your shot, Squirrel-top maxsolomon Nov 2015 #34

Speaking of which, what happened to Sanders' seminal speech of Democratic Socialism? brooklynite Nov 2015 #35

Would be great. However, Bernie doesn't represent an ideological expreme. mmonk Nov 2015 #36

I think Bernie should take the challenge. kentuck Nov 2015 #39

Paul would find Bernie's "socialism" is what most Americans believe is good capitalism Johonny Nov 2015 #40

A guy polling about 4% in his party wants a one-on-one with a guy polling 30% in the other party? DFW Nov 2015 #42
