The Rand Paul effect.
The Ran Paul effect is like mitt Romney’s, drive away the base with liberalism and try to replace it with new voters.
“”I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues,” Paul advised. “The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.””
Mitt Romney was the first presidential race to win hugely with Independents, yet lose the election, and he did that in an election that the GOP couldn’t lose.
