Ron Paul gets a lot of the theory correct at times. What can actually be accomplished is another story altogether; and I think even Ron Paul admits that openly.
Let us suppose that Rand Paul were to actually get elected President. What could he actually accomplish? When you consider this next upcoming generation is wed to it's idols?
