I recall watching his NAACP event. It was a polite response from the audience, more or less a thank you for your appearance. The UC Berkeley ovation was much longer and much more enthusiastic. Rand genuinely won over that audience.
Much more important...I don’t think you will ever catch Rand talking about the 47%. Or that rape does not result in pregnancy. Or not knowing about the Bush doctrine. Rand will not lose votes of anti-mormon bigots.
I do not agree with all his positions and proposals. As a legal immigrant, I am especially opposed to placing illegals ahead of those waiting in line legally. But I usually favor smart, politically astute, thoughtful, candidates who look good on TV and can get votes from many spectrums of voters. I favor those who IMO have best chance to win.
I get it, Paul’s standing ovation from some college kids was better than Romney’s standing ovation from the national NAACP which represent a huge swath of our nation, it’s blacks.
You didn’t even take a moment to apologize for making such a false claim as you did, you just went straight into your next argument.
Rand has already come out for gay marriage and changing the GOP party platform to drop the social issues.
Here it is only March of 2014 and you have already decided that our only hope is the increasingly anti-conservative, Rand Paul in late 2016.
