Paul’s book, Our Presidents & Their Prayers, a 36,000-word account about the faith of U.S. presidents, had only sold 80 copies in the first six days, according to the BookScan numbers. Today the number of sales for Paul’s book stands at 440 through Sunday, according to sources with access to the numbers.

So he beat Hillary then.

[Mr. K]

He should have waited to run for President.

We need an adult, and he has barely grown into the job he has

That is a reason in itself not to vote for him - lake of the maturity to understand that.

[Mr. K]

To continue, I feel 100% certain that 20 years from now he will say “I was too young at the time etc etc etc...”

[refreshed]

Hey, at least he didn’t buy a million copies of his own book to look better. Maybe its worth reading? It seems to me this is good advertising considering the sales.

"We need an adult, and he has barely grown into the job he has"

I can't stand Rand Paul, but I differ about "grown into the job" comment. Career politicians are the reason for this country's decline. The founding of our nation was based on citizen legislatures, not career ones.

500 Paulhroids have for years astroturfed themselves into straw polls, online polls and comment sections making it seem that there were millions of them. They are not willing to put their money where their mouths are.

I agree with you. Rand might make a good President — in eight years or so.

If you ask his supporters you get a response similar to this: Like mannnnnn. We have better things to do than sit and read some book mannn. Like duuuuuddddee we spent all our cash on like doritos or something mannnnnn.

I personally know a mechanical engineer, a family medical doctor, and an economist (who was one of Walter Williams’ students at George Mason) who are all supporting Rand Paul for President...proving you don’t know shit about his followers.

[Idaho_Cowboy]

Let me know you track down the other 497 satisfied book buyers.

[RonPaulLives]

Your sentence doesn’t make any sense. Maybe you should proofread, or let someone else edit it before posting.

That's what I get for gettin’ cocky. I meant to say “let me know when you find the other 497 satisfied book buyers”. Anyhow, don't tell the libertarian haters on FR this; while Rand is not my first choice he beats the snot out of Senior Jeb and a few other candidates. I'm glad your experience with his supporters was was better than mine.
