I REALLY LIKE that Rand can relate to young adults, he seems to be the only Republican that can.

But he still has his “issues”. He waffled on the HORRIFIC Senate Amnesty bill, finally deciding to vote against it at the end.

This Halliburton stuff is REALLY WORRISOME. Even if Halliburton was to make money for Cheney off of Iraq, Cheney DIDN’T (doesn’t) NEED THE MONEY. He is fine. He already made his millions. He’s has 3 heart attacks, or something like that. I suspect he’s more interested in being around for his grandkids than with adorning his house with another painting.

As to why we went into Iraq - maybe it’s because they were shooting at our airplanes?

For Rand to say this, when even the Democrats know it’s bogus (but it plays to their base) really worries me. If Rand would just act like a conservative in a few key areas and get conspiracy crap out his head, he would have a FREE RIDE right into the White House. I can’t say that for Cruz, or any other Republican...but in the end, I’ll probably vote for Cruz, even if he does (or at least did) support a form of Amnesty last year.

The one who can win is one that will connect the dots. The country is war-weary and wants to hear something involving a solution to that and to a deteriorating US. Someone who could say stop the military interventions in places that aren't our concern and put those troops on our southern border would get a lot of support. Someone who could say why are feds attacking ranchers in the US instead of stopping people from entering and staying in the US illegally would get a lot of support.

None of the pols, even the new constitutional conservatives, exhibit that kind of vision. They all missed the boat on the Bundy ranch situation....waiting for their next strategy meeting?

I'm fed up with all of them. Maybe the way to shake things up would be Donald Trump.

I suspect he's more interested in being around for his grandkids than with adorning his house with another painting.

It's not the war profiteering, it's the war mentality. Halliburton is certainly not going to say "no" to another war and a lot of the people who hang around places like that have a similar perspective.
