Still say Rand is playing the long game early, trying for the broadest coalition, lining up his chips, and has no intention of getting pigeon holed into one dimensional support, unable to break out.
Sarah would never do that, I don’t believe, do you?
Cruz will have do what Rand is doing, if he is going to be a contender, so we have to decide if we want to lean with him when he takes the curve, or not.

What Rand is doing leads me to believe that Rand still believes in “Big Tents,”
Old-Style Republican Cave-Ins, and gut-wrenching concession speeches late on Election Night.
Reality: Dole (strike one), McCain (Strike two), Romney (STRIKE THREE!!!!!!!!!!).
West, Lee, Cruz, and maybe Palin are the contenders, the rest are pretenders.
Batter UP !
I think it’s way too early for either of them to be playing the long game, though that’s obviously what Rand did on immigration. He totally triangulated that issue. He really did sound defeatist on Hannity. I like Paul, Cruz, Lee, and Palin a lot. I have no doubt that if any of them were on top of a ticket, the rest would work very hard for that ticket. We will just have to see where it goes. I do like how Ted Cruz doesn’t have to be at all nice to the Establishment. Rand and Sarah are both a little bit hamstrung, due to their respective ties to McConnell and McCain.
