I disagree. If Rand Paul keeps going in the direction he is, younger (under 40 or so) voters disillusioned with war-mongering and sick of Obama can easily switch to the Republican Party before the primaries. They could easily dominate the nomination process. Then, if Paul chooses Cruz (or someone else from the following Cruz-Paul are developing), that team could win easily.

How could Paul mess it up? The mistake would be if a nominated Rand Paul chooses one of those establishment politicians for VP. US citizens know what globalist sellouts are, and choosing one would give the dems an opening.

FWIW, I never supported Ron Paul because (1) he didn't seem to be in it to win it and (2) Ron Paul's supporters kept telling us conservatives with questions how smart they are and how dumb we are. Rand Paul doesn't seem to be like that and his supporters don't seem to have a superiority complex.

JMHO

I think Ron Johnson would be a good VP. He could lose his seat in Wisconsin.

I dont think you would need to have both Paul and Cruz on the same ticket. I think one of them will drop out if necessary.

I trust Rand Paul to be laughed at by a GOP congress when he uses Karl Rove logic to hispander.

I trust Paul more as an executive than his behaviour as a Senator on amnesty.

Like Reagan did, beginning a 12 year GOP run?

He had the wisdom to know he needed those establishment votes, to win.
