Barry Goldwater was better.

Also he is a christian and the polls were manipulated.

>why there are so many people still do not agree with his political ideologies.

material self-interest: most citizens have a vested interest in big government because their livelihoods depend on government activity. They depend on government socialism, government jobs, government contracts and government stimulus.

priorities: there are those who agree with Ron Paul philosophically but identify more with other candidates. So in the GOP, there are "moderates"/pragmatists who are more than willing to compromise their principles for influence. There is also the religious right, followers of Trump's type of populism and many other factions with other priorities in America.

radicalism: what he believes is very different from what people are familiar with. Humans are risk averse.

Common sense is nonsense and should always be questioned.

>This is what leftist believes.

So you think believe in bullshit isn't nonsense, like creating wealth support out of nothing without thinking of all the real consequences from it could magically solve poverty? How stupid could you be without having any logical sense about politics.

Yeah, it is just inevitable that these people have never had critical thought about the system we adopted despite how much of a failure the system have been so far, they rather stick up into the failed system or either make it even worst. Even if they realized the problems, they never fully understand where were the source of the problem coming from. Which is why their solution don't make any sense at all.
