"Who Killed Rudy Giuliani?" (article about Ron Paul's legacy - anyone game for Rand Paul 2016?)

Youth voters will be critical to our future and I think trying to embrace Ron Paul's legacy will help the Republicans stay relevant with the young voters. Anyone else thinking of Rand Paul for 2016?

[US Navy Vet]

FURP!

[Thorliveshere]

I like Rand. I’m in!

Provided we have an identifiable America by then).

[wideawake]

Ron Paul is a complete fraud.

His legacy, fittingly, is one of failure.

[sodpoodle]

Ron Paul betrayed his supporters by not endorsing Mitt Romney more enthusiastically as the GOP nominee.

These young mushy-headed yoots will be burdened most by the Obama legacy.

The Republican Party is dead. If they could not beat the worst president in history with the record he has they will never beat anyone again. Time for the Tea Party to take over and Rand Paul run with them. The Republican Party has been corrupted by the RINOs. Time for the Tea Party to run on the principals of Goldwater and Reagan with no waviering.

[Crimson Elephant]

Rand is definitely more likely to make a mark nationally than his father.

Rand Paul?? NO way he is son of Ron Paul and he needed to take his dad to the wood shed for a talk and he didn’t have the balls to do that..

How could he be a leader??
NO support here for him...

[cotton1706]

I’d prefer a son of Paul to run than a son (or a brother) of Bush!

What legacy is that?

Rand Paul is my number one choice for the GOP presidential candidate in 2016. No more RINO’s it does not work. We need to shake it up and roll the dice.

[Oberon]

Paul supporters were mistreated by party bosses in primaries and caucuses from Maine to Louisiana.

And here on FR, too.

[Lorianne]

I’m ready to listen to him. From what I’ve heard of him he makes a lot of sense.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Rand Paul actually impresses me as a solid mainstream Conservative that a lot of people could support. He appears to lack his father’s Dr. Strangelove factor.

[txnativegop]

provided he can keep from making inane comments that damage him politically, I might be game for Rand to run.

However, it is way too soon to throw him out there. The more time the MSM has to write about him, the more likely he is to become damaged goods.

[Oberon]

What legacy is that?

Being unabashedly pro-life, favoring a constructionist view of the Constitution, and rejecting Keynesian economics both in rhetoric and in action.

[FerociousRabbit]

I like Rand. He is NOT his father when it comes to policy (foreign policy included). Rand actually has common sense.

Loyalty to his father? I am okay with that. I wish Obama showed a little loyalty to a few brave men in Libya a few months ago.

Unfortunately, Rand has the charisma of a turnip and will not get far on the American Idol season we call the general election. He is a great U.S. Senator. I wish we had 51 Rand Pauls there.

I would, however, support Rand in a presidential run if he got that far.

[TexasCajun]

I'm thinking the Paulbots sat out this election, thus contributing to Obama’s reelection.
