Rand Paul is a better candidate on the stump than Mitt, Jeb, Santorum, and even Christy.

However Senators seldom win presidency.
Goldwater, dole, McCain. were all sitting senators.

The last republican elected president as a sitting senator was Warren Harding in 1920.

Governors can lose also, for example Mitt Romney, but a senator is much less likely to win.

Rand Paul supports social justice, that is all you need to know to understand that the man is willing to say anything to win San election and cannot be trusted.

Yes he is, but he still is not a conservative and because of his policy positions of late, is not appropriate for POTUS.
