Bunning is dead meat. He’s too senile to see it. He thinks by openly criticizing Mitch McConnell, conservatives will pour money into his re-election fund. If not other Republican candidate steps forward to challenge Bunning, then we might have to take a chance with Ron Paul’s son.
Ron paul Sr raised a lot of money too, but never garnered enough votes to matter.
Money is needed, but ron paul taught all that money isn’t enough.
Very well-put.

He is technically considered a candidate (or at least in the exploratory phase).

He’s been raising money from the typical suspects, i.e. party hacks. He’ll probably run since he’s a lying sack of you-know-what. Hopefully Kentucky chooses somebody more principled than a former Clinton delegate.
Go, Rand! By the way, for any that may wonder, he was NOT named after Ayn Rand.
