Ya. Ron is paving the way for Rand. I felt that from the gitgo. Ron just too old to be Pres. VP, etc. However, I in no way predicted Ron would be running as strong as he appears (in some areas).
I don't know how old you are, but I am old enough to remember all the times Ron has run and his crazyness. The young Mush heads in school now and the 40-50 generation don't know all that and they love the fact he talks about getting rid of the war on drugs, bring all military home, no bases in foriegn countrys etc;
