Why are Libertarians running on the Republican ticket anyway? Why don’t they have their own party? Repubs are fools/dummies to allow this.
The media and Dems have Rand right where they want him— talking about issues on abortion while the entire country is being decimated by Obama and the Iran deal is never even mentioned. Paul is dumb enough to let them do this.
Rand Paul is a Republican, last I checked. Yes, yes he is. Not a Libertarian. He might lean “libertarian” with a small “l” but lots of Republicans lean that way.
And every time Republicans lose, conservatives are quick to blame the libertarian candidates for being spoilers. Fact is, there's a lot of younger voters who lean libertarian on issues such as technology, government spying and our draconian drug policy. Senator Paul is reaching out to these voters. Paul is also reaching out to those voters who think, "Hey, maybe we should follow the Constitution once in a while?" And he's doing this while remaining steadfastly and unapologetically pro-life.

The media and the Dems are going to corner every Republican candidate on abortion. It's been a successful "gotcha" question time and time again; force Republicans to adhere to the politically unpopular "no abortions ever" position and then beat them over the head with it while giving Democrats a pass on the equally unpopular "abortion anytime for any reason" position.
Senator Paul is finally calling them out on this.
