Chris Matthews: Take my word for it — Rand Paul will be the GOP nominee in 2016

Let’s hope not.

We don’t need another Amnesty Queen as POTUS.

Either the MSM may think Rand Paul will be good for homosexuals or they think Rand is an easy target. If so, we can expect to see the MSM push him on the GOP just like they did Romney.

Paul's comment about no national law on same sex marriage and leaving it to the states is a surrender on the issue. That alone would put him in the good graces of the MSM.

They may also think that all of his "cut entitlement" talk can be used against him insuring a democrat win. And his father can probably be used against him as well.

Hitlery or another Rat will be the next President.

I can make predictions also. I predict.
Within the next week Chris Matthews will say something incredibly stupid.

I heard Rand Paul tell either Neil Cavuto or Sean Hannity, that he will back and support the GOP nominee, so I took that to mean that he will NOT go third party like his father.

I'm watching this amnesty vote and talk very carefully , right along with the defunding of Obamacare.

I wouldn't mind seeing Ted Cruz and Rand Paul on the same ticket. Idiot Matthews has no idea about the number of young people Rand Paul attracts.

I could support Rand Paul. I will not vote for another RINO.

[faucetman]

I can only pray that CM is correct. Rand Paul (if not Sarah Palin) is our best choice. Smaller gubmnt, less war, balanced budget, constitutionalist first & foremost. He is not an amnesty queen. He had a sensible plan. Border security FIRST.

[pallis]

I never take Chrissy’s word for anything.

[Cyclone59]

Here we go again, it is the left telling their followers to cross over in the primaries to get the republican on the ticket that they can beat in 2016.

[Homer1]

Iowa, NH and SC are three states I could see him doing well in. If they wait to stop him in Fla will the attempt go all Guiliani on them?

[DManA]

I wouldn’t take his word for the color of the sky.

(It’s purple in his world).

[GregB]

Not...

[Red in Blue PA]

Rand Paul is one of the only Republicans I could support.

[SunkenCiv]

Well of course he wants that, he always supports the Democrat. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. Know your enemy.

• ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften [immigration, gay marriage] stance]

Where does Allahpundit get the idea that Hillary is a “non-incumbent?” We all know that she was the real president while Bill was the official one. I still remember the bumper stickers that said, “Impeach President Clinton and her husband.”

[SoConPubbie]

Rand Paul is one of the only Republicans I could support.

Rand Paul has his own Amnesty plan where he wants to Grant Amnesty to 2 Million Undocumented Democrats each and every year.

Better rethink your support of him if you want to see anymore Republican Presidents, because if he gets his way, and becomes President, he'll be the last Republican President in your life-time, in fact, there will not be a majority in either the House or Senate as a result of his yearly Amnesty for 2 million Undocumented Democrats each and every year.

If only, we all know that Jeb’s been selected to be the next dismal failure.

[zeugma]

That’s a pretty safe bet. GOPe controls the process completely
