On March 4, 2008, John McCain became the Republican presumptive presidential nominee when he obtained the 1,191 delegates necessary to receive the party's nomination.[2] Mike Huckabee announced his withdrawal from the race later in the evening.[3] McCain's last remaining competitor in the race, Ron Paul, [Edit: withdrewsuspended his campaign] on June 12, 2008.[4]...He did not endorse John McCain as the presumptive nominee for President - Paul eventually went on to endorse Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party.[20]
On June 3, 2008, the last States voted -- South Dakota and New Mexico -- and McCain then had 1,575 Estimated Delegates.
Ron Paul's Campaign Status: Suspended June 12, 2008; 9 days later -- not withdrawn, just suspended. He had 14 Pledged Delegates and 35 Estimated Delegates, with his endorsement for the Constitution Party -- not for McCain.
I don't know what else you expected from Ron Paul. Please explain.
Someone cannot be accused of a factual event of their own making.
He did not drop out of the race four years ago or leave us adrift. I still voted for him in my State, even though his campaign was suspended -- not ended. I read the so-called "Trotsky Memo", so what is it you wanted him to do? Never trim down his campaign staff anywhere the voting was over to save on expenses when, as he said, the chances of a brokered convention were nearly zero by then? Did you want him to refund whatever was left of his campaign contributions if he couldn't win the nomination? Could he still have launched a third party run after not dropping out of the Republican race until all of the voting was completed in June? If so, could he have won the Presidency as a third party candidate with so little time left before the Nov. election, since he didn't have unlimited funds on hand to go that route? At what point would you have wanted him to drop out of the race and try to run third party, after taking your donations to run as a Republican? Had he done that, might some other contributors have felt tricked into financially supporting another Party that they didn't want to back? Should he never have decided to refocus his efforts and run for TX Congressman to keep his seat in D.C., just retired from politics four years ago? Why disparage him for not getting enough Delegates or not going third party even if he couldn't realistically win that way? He put what was left of his campign resources to good use and established the Campaign for Liberty project to continue furthering Constitutional Education. He also arranged for his supporters to have their own Convention. I'd like to see him start his own party of Jeffersonian Republicans to distinguish us from the infestation of Neocons. Wouldn't you?

I thought his Trotski memo was rather clear about his intentions of remaining a republican for life.
He is a man of his word and I accepted that.
To further research on Paul, in the background you will find for several years, that among conservatives, speculation abounds that Paul may indeed be a "ringer", an active part of the system.
