You said you moved on. Apparently that’s not the case.
Moved on from Cruz as a potential recipient for my vote, not from current events. It looks like the Paulbots have found a new home with Cruz though, which is interesting.
My bet is that the various True Believers (like you) have more to do with some backer than Rand Paul, since the herd has moved on but are still cohesive as a group and doing all the same things.
It’s a puzzle, and I like puzzles, but I don’t like watching my country get buried under a mountain of debt.
