He has no choice, that system that porked his Dad is porking him.

Why do you think Republicans and Democrats work so hard at making sure they are the only game in Town?
Sure he has a choice. His dad wouldn't have attacked Trump. If Trump is bogus he will either be exposed as such or fool us all. Rand will make no difference to that one way or the other. You can't be the anti-establishment choice by working with the establishment. That "an enemy of my enemy" bs is just that. Rand successfully destroyed the credibility he had gained by going up against the likes of Boner and McConnell by then getting right in with all the establishment hacks and attacking Trump. [bleep], at this point maybe Rand will decide to be Jeb or Fatfuck's running mate if they ask him.

Read this: It's very informative. Pay particular attention to the role played by Trygve Olson.

I believe Paul believed that Trumps 5 minutes of fame would have ended awhile ago. He said nothing in the beginning.

I wonder how much of the Koch's money Rand has taken. Honest wonderment, as I don't know. I know Cruz was bowing and scraping at the American's for Prosperity. I haven't heard how much of Rand's life they've bought.

Rand Paul was at 2% in the last poll.

He needs to come up with something better then that if he's going to boost his numbers.

Well, in all honesty I believe his statements are an indication he knows he's done.

if not trump then who?

we're scraping the bottom of the barrel as it is.

if the republicans don't win this time around, they may as well fold their tent and steal away in the night.

I got excited by Trump's presentation and thought he had the nomination.

Now I am stepping back.

I never heard of Rand Paul til now.

We are watching.

Paul has only 3% in this poll!

Republican nomination

why yes, I'd say we are.

the last two elections with two different repub candidates and one demo candidate kinda showed us the door, did he not?

as bad as he has been policy wise, somebody elected him, not our candidate in either case.

but, I digress from the current Trump vs. the field condition in which we find ourselves.

Yep, I remember that day well. Still can't hardly believe it.

If Rand Paul didn't apologize so much he might have more than a couple dozen votes by now.

Nobody wants to vote for a guy that panders to liberals. Pandering just doesn't work.

Jordan

Do you try to scuttle every conservative candidate who has a chance?

Did you do this to Sharron Angle and Matt Bevin too?

Because of people like you, we end up with fcktards like Reid and McConnell.

Like this?

POTUS: Donald Trump
VP: Ted Cruz
Sec. State: Condoleeza Rice
AG: Trey Gowdy
Defense Sec: Lt. Col. Allen West

He needs to find a spot for Carson too, he's to damn smart to let walk.

His Secretary of State will be John Bolton.
