Paul might have done better if he had been saying stuff like this all along.

[nopardons]

True. LOL

[wiggen]

no kidding. He just went way up in my estimation.

[SmokingJoe]

Yup. I wish he'd come out with stuff like this earlier in the race. He is exactly spot on with this attack against Obama. Whoever the GOP candidate is, he'd be well advised to use them talking points. They'd be very effective.

He has been.

I agree. But I'm glad he's standing up to this evil White House, rather than running down the leading Republican opponent(s). The others need to learn from this, rather than trying to pile on Trump, and sometimes Cruz, in the nastiest ways (are you listening, Linda Graham?)

I am no fan but Rand Paul says stuff like this all the time

You just ain't been listening

And do not ask me to give you any for instances, you are a grown up, look them up yourself.

Rand's early mistake was playing nice with Mitch McConnell. Thinking the elitists would work with him to change things was either delusional or naïve. As a result, he often seemed insincere about his desire to make necessary changes in DC.

Another is the 100 ton gorilla in the room that NO ONE is addressing. Rand Paul should've owned the issue I'm referring to by heredity...it should be in his DNA. That would be being against the Federal Reserve and all the damage it has done to the US economy.

He has a huge opening now. Talk about this issue. Connect his desire to protect our privacy with the extreme urgency of keeping terrorist and terrorist wannabees out of the US. Start saying things like "we can't have the freedoms we love if the US allows people who don't share our values to be here".

That's my take on things, anyway. I wonder if Rand Paul on the Trump team would bring in those young and/or unaffiliated voters wouldn't be a real viable connection.

Just my personal thoughts.

Hear ! Hear !

[Maelstorm]

I totally agree.
