"I feel all right with it," said David Paul. "He does too."
This is a very good article in The Detroit News
Instead of concentrating on the sidebar story of David Paul's "admission" about his brother, it concentrates on the message.
More and more people will continue to hear about the character of Ron Paul and about his message.

Here's the deal...
We, President Paul people already have declared that Ron Paul is our President NOW...
Some of us say something like this..."I don't know how Ron Paul emerged as our President, we only know that he has NOW and we are so grateful.
It is based on simple laws of attraction which states, that what we expect we get, and what we think about we bring about. Pass that along to brother Paul...his thoughts have no effect on what we think about all day.

Ron Paul knows he CAN win the nomination
And I predict Ron Paul CAN win the nomination.
Also...I just wrote an article after reading yet ANOTHER article that threw in the garbage line "Ron Paul knows he cannot win the GOP Nomination but...."

Watch out.
Of all things, the lame stream media will carry this story.

It's very good coverage
That's The Detroit News. That is the mainstream media. That's a mainstream newspaper article.
The story they wrote (did you read it) is very good coverage.

Meanwhile Rand is saying the chance of a brokered convention has grown to 30%...
Lies of omission? Why do I get he sneaking suspicion...
that something was left out in context between "I feel all right with it," and "He does too."?
Now c'mon! I would think David Paul and any other member of the family would be advised on how to avoid certain traps by reporters like his one.
So this "new story" did exactly what it hoped to do, report that Paul has no shot at becoming nominated. They just keep ignoring the inconvenient truth of how delegates are acquired now don't they?

Well they didn't directly
Well they didn't directly quote his full comment, it appears. The article just states that his brother doesn't think he would win the nomination, then directly quoted only the "I feel all right with it," part... so it's hard to say what his actual words were and what context he meant them. He could have just been matter of fact saying that he might not win, or that the odds are not necessarily in our favor (which they aren't, considering everything stacked against us, the media, establishment GOP, etc). But I think we all realize what we are up against, and no one said it would be easy.
it's a very good article
Yes, he MIGHT have said exactly the opposite of what Ron Paul has said now thru 3 different presidential runs.
You MIGHT think it is good if the answer is given differently than Ron Paul gives it himself.
But Ron Paul NEVER has asserted that his principle interest or focus in life is winning any election.
Time for you to catch up with Ron Paul.
IF the very good article included what you suggest they'd be missing the story and engaging in fluff.
It's a very good article.

Huh? I don't believe I've
Huh? I don't believe I've asserted any of those things... Just agreeing that we don't know exactly what he said in full about Ron's chances, because it isn't directly quoted. I never said anything about Ron's ultimate goal in life being about winning elections, and I really don't think it is either.
It's EXACTLY what Ron Paul says
Why do I get the sneaking feeling that you hear what you want to hear?
Ron Paul has been saying the same EXACT thing for some decades now, thru 3 presidential runs.
Why do you choose not to hear it?

Well probably because...
taken by itself would make someone believe that he wasn't in it to win it. I don't believe that. I do however believe that he WOULD be fine regardless of the outcome because this isn't about him.
Hey, I didn't flame you because I gave benefit of the doubt not to shoot the messenger.
So I didn't "choose" to not hear anything. I merely asked for the rest of the story. What I've heard and seen plenty of times when he's asked why are you doing this and are you in this to win and he says of course I want to win AND then he says he'd be fine if he didn't.
And your point for posting this link was what? Morale booster?

there are none so blind...
The rest of WHAT story?
The story is there, and the comment by Ron Paul's brother is NOT the focus.
THAT is the purpose of my post, to show that some in the news media are not harping on what otherwise would be the main focus, considering they had a quote by his brother.
The author chose to go with the real story instead of nonsense.
So, why do you complain?
It's not about building morale among those who cling to outlandish and offtopic notions. Ron Paul has never answered the question of electabilility any differently than is expressed in this story.
You choose to believe the newspaper maliciously left out some central nugget of wisdom which frankly, only is heard by you and your kind.
There is nothing to leave out.
The article is a good thing NOT a bad thing, despite what you conjure in your own mind.

If it was not the focus of
If it was not the focus of the story, then why did you title this post "His Brother Predicts Ron Paul Can't Win the GOP Nomination"? The actual title of this article is "Texas maverick Ron Paul makes mark on GOP race"--which is actually a very positive title. If the quote by his bother wasn't the focus, your post singled it out and directed attention to it... so people naturally commented about it.
And by the way, lines about how Ron Paul can't win typically aren't the main focus of most articles. This isn't really unusual, if you read lots of news. It's called a qualifier, and it is usually accompanied by an otherwise very positive story, buried somewhere towards the middle or end. The pattern goes like this: "Ron Paul is changing the Republican party and making history...he's made a huge splash on the party and is the wave of the future, etc, etc... so even though he isn't electable and won't win, it's kind of like he has already won...etc" Now, I'm not saying that's necessarily what the intention was by the author of this particular article, but it does look familiar enough to at least take with a grain of salt.
Of course Ron Paul has said he doesn't dream about being President and that is not his ultimate goal in life...it's about the message, not about him. I'm sure he is under no delusions about the odds of winning. But he does believe he is electable, and has said so publicly.
of course he's electable
And I never have suggested otherwise.
That article stands out due to the fact that while asking the question others have asked, it doesn't dwell on that, even when it's the candidate's brother coming to the same conclusion.
That is why the post needs to be highlighted.
And, as for how I titled it, there are some admonitions in the DailyPaul posting guidelines stressing that one shouldn't just lift and print from copyrighted work.
I know others do that regularly, I try not to, as is stressed in those guidelines.
I titled it so it would fit my post.

Why do I get the sneaky feeling that you
just like to drag articles here and title them just perfectly so google will pick them up and YOU Mr John P Selvin are the one responsible for that. YOU You are no good IMO. You are not a fighter. You are a discourager and a detriment to this website in general from what I've seen recently from you.
Ron Paul has stated he is in this race to Win It. I guess your selectivity mode was turned off when he stated that.

golly
Actually, I'm just someone passing on an article which is a very good example of exactly what has been missing from mainstream news.
There are many like you who refuse to hear Ron Paul on the same subject. He says exactly that it's very difficult to imagine how he could win the GOP nomination.
He repeatedly says it's the message and not the messenger.
You choose to hear and believe whatever you want.
I'm fine with that.
