Rand has probably been one of the most disappointing of the candidates. When he started snuggling up to McConnell he and Rubio both have suffered for it. Paul a little more because the GOP-E really don’t like him at all no matter how much he prostrates himself before them. This story has a good point because the biggest problem Trump’s critics face is themselves. It doesn’t matter whether it is Rand Paul who went out of his way to endorse Romney and McConnell and take an anti-voter id position or any of the others in the GOP-E and the media who are sanctimonious hypocrites who actually think they are the authority on purity and on who “the serious” candidates are.

I support Cruz but I also support what Trump is doing to reveal who is really are the squishes. Those who ran out to condemn his comments about criminal illegal aliens revealed themselves those who tried to play the “war on women” crap against him revealed themselves. Trump whether you think he would make a good President or not is doing one hell of a job blowing the hell out of conventional wisdom and political correctness and we should all love that.

I just saw on Gateway Pundit that Trims says he could support Jeb Bush for president.

Exactly. I, myself, have not decided who I'll support at this time (although my preference atm is Sen. Cruz, I cannot say for certain that he will remain my preference). That said, what Mr. Trump is doing is something that has long needed doing, and I'll support *that* endeavor, if not his actual campaign...

” I wonder if Trump would like the rules of the game changed. “

Hells Bell’s son, he’s in the diver’s seat and here you go mouthing off about you thinking you can change the rules? Jeez, boy, you’re not even in the car!

Little Lindy Graham on the Hugh Hewitt show just said he could support Trump nomination/presidency after a week ago said he would support the Dems over him.

“But despite his kind words about Bush, Trump told Malzberg he still has problems with his policies.

“I’ve expressed difficulty with Jeb. He’s in favor of Common Core which is a disaster. He’s very weak on immigration, very, very weak on illegal immigrants coming into the country. Very weak and that bothers me,” Trump said.

“He used the expression, people come as an act of love. Tell the families that were devastated by people that come in illegally and the illegal immigrants kill members of families, tell them it’s an act of love.

“He’s got some big problems. I like him. I met him, really, I met him years ago but for the first time in a long time I met him the other day on the stage and he’s a nice person, but we need a person with high energy to turn this country around.” “

“Not sure how calling attention to Paul’s pro bono eye surgeries hurts Paul... what am I missing here?”

That Paul is not telling the full story when he attacks Trump, namely Paul privately asks for and receives a favor from Trump with one hand and then turns around and hits Trump with the other hand publicly.

“Agreed there’s a big difference between a donation to a charity and a political donation. Trump himself admitted his political donations were “ Pay to Play” donations.”

You mean like the hundreds of millions of dollars of “donations” to the Clinton Family Foundation “charity”? Because clearly there’s no pay to play there, now is there?
