Thanks for posting the article.

I like many of the things Ron Paul had to say in the debate.

However, I think that if he became President, the good ole boys club would chew him up and spit him out.

Oh BS. Rand was all over the media bashing Trump before the debate. Poor little Rand. It makes me sick that media never tell what the other person did to start it. I didn’t like that Trump came at him right out of the gate - I think, however, that he did it to shut him down so that he didn’t have to hear him yapping at him the rest of the night.

All non-Border-Wall candidates are part of a gray haze to me. I don’t hear them. I don’t see them. I sure as hell won’t vote for any of them.

That's right. Trump cut his legs out from under him. The attack Rand Paul had planned would have looked petty after that. He had plans to torment Trump all evening long.

concede that his candidacy once held so much promise. ROFLMAO If Epic Fail is a promise.

Rand Paul is a real sick little puppy. Can you imagine him as President.

Rand Paul is NOT tragic. His bat-chit crazy interpretation of classic, Jeffersonian libertarianism is tragic, though.

Randy likes to play both sides. He appeared on the stage with the Mississippi GOPE after the Thad Cochran camp pulled it’s stunts, saying Mississippi had moved past that. Only thing wrong with that was McDaniel wasn’t on the stage with him

I thought his remarks on his support for peace through strength were quite good, and he was right about his civil liberties concerns.

It is no tragedy. Paul decided to hang with the wuss Mitch. He deserves everything that is coming his way

I like Rand Paul in the Senate fighting for our individual freedoms. He needs to keep doing that. Everybody can’t be President.

It appears as many others agree!

Of all the candidates, he alone promised a serious look at whether we should be intervening militarily overseas and a serious look at federalism. He’s one that signed on to the tea-party budget, which actually does balance that monster soon.

But equally important is immigration, and he seems to have botched that.

He's not sure what he is anymore - can't be his Father because that's a losing strategy and can't be a real Conservative because it's against his nature so he's opting for "moderate libertarian/conservative lite/progressive lite mix".

Rand Paul made a deal with the devil when he decided to get in bed with McConnell.

After the MS fiasco i have no more use for any of McConnell’s allies.

I would have voted for Alison Grimes as the lesser evil if I lived in KY.

IMHO what happened was states started relaxing their marijuana laws and Paul’s followers weren’t interested in anything else he was saying after that.
