THE issue of our time is the $4 TRILLION FEDERAL GOVERNMENT which threatens to destroy our freedoms and our country. It is head and shoulders above every other issue. Rand doesn't seem to have any problem nuking big government whereas others seem to have their reservations. Rand also has a clear non-popular-culture understanding of the obvious alternative to government, the FREE MARKET ECONOMY. It's not complicated - it's either government tyranny or freedom. Why do so many not get it?

Rand is also reconsidering his weakest issue: defense. Putin's actions may be helping him along those lines. For Rand to viable, he's GOT to get more animated and communicative in his speaking style: Rand, learn to talk to the American People like you're talking to a good friend in your living room.

So far Rand looks like the best of the bunch.

When Rand decides to cut off the border and cut the benefits to illegals and doesn’t think social issues should be ignored maybe we can talk. Amnesty will bankrupt this country and not just economically.

You think his issue is defense? It sounds like you haven’t been paying attention.

His weakest issue is amnesty and all social issues and his willingness to compromise with Democrats
