I wonder if he is breaking into the dim wit voting block. I think this is part of a strategy to attack the dim voting block. The next president and his congress will have to rebuild the economy. Then the military. Then fix the border problem. Then fix the spending problem...IMHO we are not ready for massive foreign intervention. Did I mention rebuilding strategic weapons. Getting the budget under control... I know we have the means but do we have the will to address the issues simultaneously? We will have to see.

I don’ Trey is ready just yet. He will be in time but not yet. Of the other three I would be happy to support any of them but I think Newt is the best for our present time. Then Cruz and Paul respectively. Though they both need additional seasoning also.

RE:”Why he should not be given the nomination ?
....
Because he’s a Paul.”

But he is in tune with the millenniums.

His amnesty stance nuked his chances with me.

I don't care what a liberal republican wants to do with respect to the dem voting block, or the liberal (R) whatever voting block.

Neither one is conservative enough for me.

I'll vote for someone that is pro-life, for Americans first, pro-second amendment, for privatized medicine, and has a track record of being for smaller government.

According to his website:

Immigration

I do not support amnesty, I support legal immigration and recognize that the country has been enriched by those who seek the freedom to make a life for themselves. However, millions of illegal immigrants are crossing our border without our knowledge and causing a clear threat to our national security. I want to work in the Senate to secure our border immediately. In addition, I support the creation of a border fence and increased border patrol capabilities.

Immigrants should meet the current requirements, which should be enforced and updated. I realize that subsidizing something creates more of it, and do not think the taxpayer should be forced to pay for welfare, medical care and other expenses for illegal immigrants. Once the subsidies for illegal immigration are removed, the problem will likely become far less common.

I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.

Millions crossing our border without our knowledge constitutes a clear threat to our nation’s security. Instead of closing military bases at home and renting space in Europe, I am open to the construction of bases to protect our border.

According to his website:

And according to this website, I'm a 6'2" Nordic god.

None of which is true.

Ignore what politicians say. Watch what they do.

What did Paul do on the immigration votes?

Valid point. And he has a solid voting record on immigration, voting no on SB 744, for one example. I didnt take him to task on his immigration record. And Im not a Rand Paul “hater.” But when you consider he basically proudly proclaimed himself to the left of Hillary on the same week that Bernie Sanders, of all people, when toe to toe and shouted down pro-Hamas supporters at a town hall, it doesnt bode very well for him as we look for the next President to clean up the mess of Obama’s hashtag diplomacy.

RE :”He should prescribe his dad some anti-psychotics.”

His Daddy Ron is like Paul Atreides in Dune .
The spice (high ) opens his mind to both the past and future.

Ron is the all knowing prophet who sees it all from ingesting the spice.

He says his son will be king.

He would be the same as voting for a democrat.

I think Rand Paul is good decent patriot. He is valuable in the Senate standing up for our constitutional rights. I don’t think he has found himself fully yet and is not ready for the Presidency.

I’m looking for Rick Perry and Ted Cruz to push on through in the primaries.

Rand has proven that he supports amnesty.

Perry is a liberal who will never get my vote. His big-government liberal positions don't match my conservative agenda.

Cruz so far has met the test on abortion, 2nd Amendment, amnesty, socialized medicine, and big government.
