Because its Rand, I’m going to reserve judgement.

He is more libertarian than conservative, which can be good or bad. He does have the ability to talk to a younger audience, and he is fearless on his issues.

I assume he is building bridges to the Bush clan as much as anything. Maybe he and Jeb have an understanding. I’m sure the Bushs see increasing the hispanic Repub vote by even a couple of percentage points as possible and necessary. Hence their pandering on immigration. Rand is libertarian and leans toward open borders. So they may be a good fit for one another. I have a feeling a Paul/Bush presidency will favor abortion, homosexual marriage, and amnesty for illegals. Maybe not explicitly, but in effect. In fact I’m sure of it.

So if they win I’m not sure what America wins.

Rand is a good bold communicator so I like having him on our side the 80% of the time that he is. But his principles are a couple of degrees off of mine, he’s not the perfect candidate. And Jeb rubs me the wrong way on several issues. As I say, if they win I’m not sure we win.

Rand is building bridges to the Bush fundraisers and amnesty overlords.
