The race has just started folks—It will be a long path and my bet is who ever will be the next president isn’t even on the radar screen yet.
I’ll bet you a steak dinner it is the first guy who declared. I worked for President Reagan, so I know Reaganesque when I see t.
Cruz is Reaganesque all right—But remember he lost the first time in 1976. Had to wait 4 years to win. Maybe Cruz will need to wait til 2020. He has many great qualities. BUT Reagan was Governor of California—Maybe Cruz needs to be Gov. of Texas first???
where I live I’ve seen the ron paul revolution bumper stickers...now they will be replaced with the rand paul revolution...and right next the 9/11 was an inside job/F Bush bumper stickers
Rand Paul is careening all over the road.
I, for one, cannot take him seriously.
Yup....right wingnut 9/11 truthers are allways PAULestinians.
That was his second time in 1976. Then-Gov. Reagan first ran for President in 1968.
...”I’ll bet you a steak dinner it is the first guy who declared. I worked for President Reagan, so I know Reaganesque when I see t.”...
Ted Cruz is so great, but so are most of the other candidates who are running. I don’t think I have seen such a field of great candidates before. I wish all of these men and Carlie Fiorina could have high level positions of power in our government. Right now, I am conflicted about who should win in 2016 . I just hope one of them will.
can’t take him serious and when he comes out with comments like this yesterday only confirms to me how nuts the man is.
“Any law> that disproportionately incarcerates people of color is repealed”
How anyone would vote for this lunatic is beyond me.
I know one of one liber-tarian and guess what; Yes they have 911 inside job sticker with a Paul sticker.
Well, my son is a Ron Paul nut and he can’t stand Rand so there’s at least one that feels this way. I have 3 kids, one conservative like me, one flaming liberal, and one libertarian...how did this happen????...lol
Frank Luntz, pollster, was on FoxNews this morning showing some graphics of the Dem/Pubbie reactions to some of Paul’s statements in his announcement.
Luntz was all ga-ga on how great Paul was at saying the right things, etc.

My assessment of Paul, so far, is the same as stated in the title of this thread: Playing to everyone.
Paul seems to be trying to be all things to all people. He is rather wishy-washy on issues, depending on the audience.
The next president must be a strong leader to start cleaning up the mess he/she will inherit. The real Obama economy continues to be hidden from view and will impact the first term of the new president. The real Obama foreign policy more and more is a complete disaster and the next presidents for decades will face worse crises than even Carter left.
FoxNews political commentator Chris Stirwalt said this morning that the SuperPacs for Ted Cruz have raised $31 million.
My real issue is that by ideology of most Libertarians, Paul is part of the open border crowd.
Paul winning pro-life, conservative, pro-marriage, strong on defense, Evangelicals?
Reason magazine is one messed up libertarian rag.
