We have discussed Rand as VP before and many Freepers said it's not a wise career move but I think it's a good fit...
Trump/Lake ‘24
We need him where he is.
VP is a huge waste of his talents.
Secretary of Treas. / State/ Comm. would be a huge win for him and us.
Could you imagine if he had pull over the fed?? AWESOMENESS
It doesn’t matter who runs. Unless the fraud perpetrated in the last two elections is countered, it will be for naught.
The problem is the Senate’s IQ and honorability index would drop 10 points.
If losertarians were logical, but they aren't. They would rather talk about legalizing drugs or lowering the age of consent or other such off the wall topics than actually win elections and take the responsibility of governing.
But, yes, Rand Paul might help peel off a few of them.
I like Paul for President myself. He seems to be the only one in Washington who is not only willing to take on the vaccines, but gain of function itself.
I love the choice of Sen. Rand Paul for VP for either President Trump or Gov DeSantis! I support President Trump, but that may not work out my way, and if that is the case, I can gladly support DeSantis or Rand Paul.
I don’t know if DeSantis would pick him,but I don’t see Trump ever doing it.
“poised to bring in the libertarian wing of the GOP, which could provide a bump of 3% to 4% of the vote”
And what percent of the GOP will stay home if a “liberaltarian” is on the ticket?
The secret to winning the white house is a fair election.
It isn’t going to happen. Nothing is being done to assure that or even insure that.
A republican win is more than likely DOA.
Would vote for him hands down over any Republican — declared or undeclared…
Rand is one of a handful or two at most of actual conservatives in the Senate.
“libertarian wing of the GOP” ? Such a candidate, must, and can, bring in those outside a GOP wing. Many libertarian independents and Democrats are for less regulation, small government, no foreign entanglements, etc. Positions some think are Republican only issues.
The hitch is that these non-GOP libertarians often disagree with the GOP on sex, guns, shoot-first-ask-questions-later police activity.... social issues.
We who are in this coalition called the GOP must be willing to welcome those who disagree with us on some issues. We are a coalition. The very nature of the US is that we are individuals and individualists. We often disagree solely because we do not want to be seen as brainwashed rubber stamps.
If you like the candidate, vote for that candidate. Welcome others who vote for that candidate, regardless of your differences.
In 1964 I got activists in YPSL and YSA to vote for Goldwater because he was anti-establishment. If a Rand Paul type attracts similar who disagree with us on some issues, we should welcome them...and convert them.
The same with Vernon Jones converts. Welcome them, convert them. Don’t make them feel unwelcome.
So many so called experts. I don't see Rand Paul as a VP type candiate. He's a legislator. A good guy though.
Trump is going to pick a woman.
DeSantis is not going to run. So this is just silly speculation, I’m afraid.
