(CNN) -- Anthony Weiner thinks Rand Paul is playing it smart.
The former Democratic congressman from New York, who resigned in 2011 amid a sexting scandal, offered up some 2016 insight Friday, saying the Kentucky Republican senator is wise to make privacy concerns a big part of his potential presidential platform.
"Paul's strategy could put him in a great place in a Republican primary," Weiner wrote in a column for Business Insider.
~snip~
"(Paul's) looking to build a White House bid with his own new age coalition of privacy-concerned, party-non aligned, previously-non voting, SOPA hating, pot tolerant youth," he wrote.
"(If) Paul wins, it won't necessarily be through red states," he continued. "He's betting on Reddit."

OUCH!
Now that's gotta hurt. As much as I don't like Rand Paul - having Carlos Danger endorse you is really just too much.

What’s Tony doing these days? I assume as part of the Clinton Crime Family he’s working on Hillary 2.0?

Bingo. The kiss of death. And yet, he’ll probably have a good shot at it.
Why we left the most radical leftists select OUR candidates is the tragedy of modern times.

Faint praise from the socially shunned. Weiner will return to pubic, I mean public attention after a few more years pass. He is still somewhat ‘toxic’ to both parties. Hillary probably threatened him with her spiked stiletto heel if he drags her name through another mud puddle.

The best way to get the base to hate a candidate is for the Left to embrace that candidate. I wouldn’t believe this is what Wiener actually thinks for $1,000,000
To: Responsibility2nd
Weiner isn’t exactly a winner.
