Rand Paul's Senate re-bid comes up in 2016, and the Democrats are probably going to work hard to take his seat. His father did better in Iowa four years ago. He is not in the top three positions in New Hampshire polls, unlike Ron Paul. He lost the libertarian base by abandoning his father's isolationism, and did not pick up a significant number of mainstream conservatives in so doing. Cruz picked up many of the libertarian voters by stressing his free market credentials, e.g. opposing ethanol subsidies. Free market capitalism is the libertarian position that most appeals to conservatives.

I’m a Libertarian and I have a lot of friends that are also. We have all be huge supporters of Cruz for those reasons.
