One thing for sure, even with Ron Paul's faults, he did help the Don get there. If it hadn't been for the Republican establishments hate for Ron, they would have never amended the repcon rules with the Ron Paul rule at the end of the last election cycle. The rule raised the number of states needed to start a contested convention. Cruzer came a little short because of it, and when he tried to persuade enough states to join in on a role call the first day of repcon 2016 to amend the rules then and there (something never done at the beginning of a convention but can be done), he got burnt.
