Those people disagree with Paul on almost every issue and would either stay at home (most probably) or bite the bullet and vote Hillary.

I disagree with this pretty strongly. Keep in mind, Paul is a pro-life, anti-tax, anti-welfare, pro-gun (male) Texan who talks about the Constitution a lot. It also helps that he is the epitome of 'principled'. There's a lot the base can get behind (if they pinch their nose to some of the other stuff). Hilary, in the eyes of a Republican, is the scariest thing that ever existed.

And the top Republicans, Giuliani and Romney, aren't exactly what the base wants anyways.

I think if you asked a Republican "Would you prefer 80% Hilary and 20% Giuliani, or 80% Paul and 20% Hilary" he would definitely choose the latter (or at least, he definitely should). The key, though, is convincing people that Paul would indeed be the best matchup.
