Heartache: It’s over, Rand Paul lost
MofoPolitics ^ | Mar. 5, 2015

Posted on 04/02/2015 2:40:36 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

A new Quinnipiac poll has Rand Paul tied for 5th. That’s eight different polls since November showing Paul in 4th place or worse.

There was a moment in 2013 when political realignment was within our grasp– a once-in-a-generation opportunity to unite conservatives and progressives under the banner of classic Jeffersonian liberalism.

That window is closed– squandered by the mind-boggling incompetence of senior adviser Doug Stafford.

I know what you’re thinking:

It’s still early! Polls don’t matter until [some arbitrary future date]. (SNIP)

Rand could meet with Al Sharpton again.

Because that went over so well the first time.

Rand could side with more violent African-Americans like Michael Brown again.

Because that went over so well the first time.

Too much of daddy’s quirkiness plus his selling out to McConnell didn’t help either. It looks like we’ll foil the left’s attempt to pick our presidential candidate for us.

Rand could switch party and comfortably run against Hitlary.

“Doug Stafford”

Isn’t that a character from “House of Cards”?

He became too libertarian, after winning his election on being conservative.

since winning election he started talking about “evolving” on social issues, and becoming pro-choice, and against DOMA, and anti-national defense, etc.

Rand Paul has political value when you consider the current culture.

He can go into “Hostile” territory and move people away from what the Democrats propose. Move them away from their support of centralized authority.

Yes, it’s pure Libertarian, but he can destroy one half of the choices available to would be voters.

That half is the Democrat party.

He looks like a Kennedy .... plastic surgery recommended.

It's how people think and react.

I hope we can avoid a Huckabee run. Surely he can’t really believe he has been “called to run”. Sheesh!

I think the grifter Huckabee feels “called” to make money...that, and doing his part for the GOPe in preventing a conservative from getting the nomination, would be the ONLY reason he would declare and run.
