All the predictions from the experts, talking heads and pundits have been turned on their heads, like they have Dick Morris disease.

Rand could run as a Democrat. Sharpton can be his VP. El Jebbie could run as one, too.

Rand is a loose cannon. Cruz is the real deal.

Paul is not presidential material.
He is exploiting the fame of his father.

That’s why he should run as a Democrat. They love loose cannons.

Don’t care for Rand Paul as a candidate, but I have no problem with him giving it back to Savannah Guthrie and the smarmy MSM. Republicans got to stop being on the defensive and shove it back into the faces of these Democratic lapdog media types.

I thought their favorite “Republican” was Jeb Bush.

Agreed, but as loony and out there as Rand Paul may be, he’s still far better than Hillary Rodham-Nixon, Fauxahontas, Uncle Joe, Algore, Martin O’Clueless, or any other fill in the blank lefty on the Democratic side. It’s good the GOP has a diverse group of candidates. It’s a strong bench compared to the Democrats.

If Rand is the nominee, I would gladly vote for him because if nothing else, he will definitely shake things up. Not that I would agree with a lot of what he does, but then I again, with the exception of Cruz, I wouldn’t agree with much of the rest of them, neither.

Stumbling right out of the gate is no way to win the Tripple Crown.

Rand Paul losing his cool today on national TV ( his supporters saying while cheering him on, supposedly sticking it to the media , but ? He is really thinned skinned and condensending ) and losing support of some of his supporters does not bode him well...

In contrast Ted Cruz is cool headed and patient.

LoL my brother says that Rand Paul reminds him of a white Obama in his arrogance, thin skinned, condensending.

I think I heard Meygn Kelly say that Rand Paul is not ready for prime time.

That’s the way I look at it too. The only Republican I can honestly say I wouldn’t vote for is Jeb or is it Jose Bush? Tired of that family and their politics.

You right, gave back to the media what they trow at Republicans, and Ted Cruz will do it with class and a smile on his face.

Rand Paul came off like a spoiled rotten child stompping his feet....

Whatever. I’m no Rand Paul supporter but I’m glad he didn’t take any crap from Savannah Guthrie. The Republicans have to decide one of two things. They either don’t appear on any of these cable or network talk shows, or if they do they shouldn’t let themselves be on the defensive, and hit back. I guarantee there are a good many Americans who want to see the MSM get smacked around too.

I will vote ONLY for Cruz. I'm a conservative, not a Republican, but since the GOP likes open primaries, I will take advantage of that silly rule and vote for Cruz.

No doubt. Ted will do it with class. I’m just tired of our side appearing blindsided when they appear on these shows. They know it’s coming but they generally seem flustered and doing the media’s bidding. I still like what Rand did. I agree with you. He’s a loose cannon but he didn’t take their crap. That should be a lesson to all of these candidates, but you’re right it has to be done with class and not with anger.

Megyn Kelly thought she would pile on tonight also. I can’t stand the sight of her but we had the TV on and she was talking at Rand Paul. She is so full of herself I could vomit.

We need our guys to get in the MSM face a bit. Otherwise its just the same old ambush everytime. Newt never played their game. I admired him for it. Trey Gowdy does not suffer fools either.

He wouldn't be the first to do that, but Rand tries to play the game. Ron did not.
