This is Rand Paul's biggest obstacle. People thinking he's his dad. What can he say? “My dad is nuts.” “Yeah, my dad is a few fries short of a Happy Meal.”
The TRUTH is, Rand Paul is NOT his father, but I'll bet he loves his father. I'll bet he respects his father.
When asked last time if he would run for president, he said that if his dad didn't run he might consider it. If his dad ran he would support his dad, and that's what happened.
He can overcome this problem with most people by just being himself while getting greater exposure. When people get to know him better, it will become obvious that he is not his dad.
This same problem will be a blessing as he will inherit all the crazy Ron Paul supporters. He will get the Libertarian vote. He will get the Conservative vote. He will get the Liberal pot head vote. He'd decriminalize small amounts of pot to make room in prison for rapists and killers.
He is for a strong defense, but won't get us involved in every war that comes along. I don't know about you, but I am SICK of war. I am SICK of seeing our heroes without arms & legs. I am SICK of seeing our heroes under flag draped coffins, being used as a photo op by politicians like B.O. and HRC. I am sick of seeing our heroes being tried for war crimes. It's WAR! You can blow their brains all over the ground, but don't you DARE pee on their dead bodies. It's called stress relief. The dead guy didn't mind.
So, let's not give the left any help in trying to discredit
Rand Paul. Trust me, they don't need any help.
Paul/Palin? Paul/Carson? Paul/Cruz?
Quite a few on FR will be leading the attack. The GOP shills on here will be ready to pounce.
First of all, Cruz can not do it. As a diehard Constitution lover, he’d be the first to say that, because of his Canadian birth he’s not NBC.
Not knocking Cruz, he’s my man!
In 2012 Rand needed some years more in grade. In 16 if he keeps nipping their heels like recently, he would be a force for the left to fear.
