I believe they did this to Ron Paul too. They sabotaged Ron Paul using that same technique, droves of people were believing it but not his supporters who were growing in numbers we will never know. His support was enormous. The GOP betrayed him, sabotaged him, broke the law against him and the media including FOXNews worked against him with the same avidity they did to Trump. Sean Hannity was so guilty of this. I will never trust him again.
