Wonder what position she'll occupy?
This what anyone who wants to run better be doing as of yesterday.
Sounds like the same strategy Romney and McCain tried.
Court the moderates and RINO’s and forget about conservatives.
That strategy did not work out well for Romney and McCain.
Key word: “coalition”
Please don’t let the liberaltarian into the exec. branch
Meh
I would easily support Rand Paul over Chris Christie, Jeb Bush and their ilk.
Paul has some flaws, but he is significantly more conservative than McCain/Romney. More importantly, he is a fighter.
However if Ted Cruz or even Scott Walker decide to run, I would have to support them over Paul.
Remember the 2012 GOP Nation Convention where the establishment/leadership locked out and changed the rules to shutdown any opposition?
I sure do, that is when I renounced being a ‘Republican’
Regarding state GOP primaries, my state is again low in the list — late May. The nomination will probably be decided long before that date, as it was in 2008 and 2012.
The advantage is that I don’t have to jump on any presidential preference bandwagons — I can throw mud at all of them.
Paul was flaky on Amnesty when the Senate voted, but he did eventually vote the right way. His kick about letting felons vote annoys the hell out of me. Republicans seem to have this suicide streak in them - trying their best to encourage voting from people who will vote Democrat, almost to the person.
But Rand has been excellent in other areas - especially on the privacy side, and he can bring in MILLIONS of young voters, just on that. No other Republican has a prayer reaching them. He’s also good on most other Republican issues.
So given everything, I will HOPE that Rand figures out that tens of millions of new Democrat voters will NOT help the Republicans and will act accordingly - and that is actually BETTER than what I can say about other Republicans as I already know they are on the wrong side.
Draft Ron Paul!
We need Ron Paul and Rand Paul to both run. That way, we can hear about how much they differ on things, and why voting for Rand isn’t the same as voting for Ron.
Ron Paul has run in every election since Carter. No reason to stop now!
Wonder what position she'll occupy?
“Sen. Rand Paul has become the first Republican to assemble a network in all 50 states as a precursor to a 2016 presidential run,”
He is disenfranchising the other 7 states, so he is not the man for the job.
Rand Paul is going to need more than his elevator shoes to convince a skeptical 2017 congress to pass amnesty for him.
His kookie dad’s network?
I find it interesting how many people who wouldn’t be caught dead voting for Ron Paul have no problem at all voting for Rand Paul.
We don’t need royalty in this country and he would have a chance against Clinton.
People really don’t want to look at Bill Clinton and precious Chelsea for another 8 years.
Rand Paul would not be my first choice but if he’s the nominee he’ll get my vote because the prospect of having eight possible years with Hillary is far more scarier than having a libertarian-leaning Republican in the White House.
