Great!! However, if Paul managed to get +50% of the GOP voting for him.. I don't see him catching only 13% in the GE

He'd likely win because he'd bring in the Old Right, many social/religious conservatives anti-war folks of all stripes. Johnson and the Libertarian Party would endorse Paul. The Constituition Party would endorse Paul. I don't think the GOP establishment would sabatoge their own future credibility (the little they have) just to stop the father of the Tea Party. Besides the neocon/establishment/progressive wing has had the top of the ticket since Bush 41. Since 88 they have went 3-3 with both of Bush 43's disputed by many. In my lifetime ,when a conservative has led the GOP ticket,  they win as badly as the RandPaulslide of 2010.

It would make the establishment look bad not the Ron Paul folks if they sabatoged their own. Possibly end the current party system.
