Understand something about Rand Paul - not a conservative, and only is congruent with a few points with what conservatives believe. First and foremost, Rand Paul is libertarian, a rather different breed of cat, and moves from a different base than most conservatives.

Cruz is a traditionalist, Rand is a libertarian. Both are preferable to the Rockefeller and/or Neoconservative wings of the GOP represented by Christie and Jeb.

Cruz is a conservative and a leading candidate, anyone to the left of him trying to defeat him, is the enemy, that means Bush, Paul whoever.
