Be sure you join little bush to his WMD country invading bother and his tax raising Daddy. I for one like Rand as his own man far from the past and his great Dad. Rand is reaching out to a huge spectrum .

Rand Paul was interesting when he first appeared. Then he buddied up with Mitch McConnell. And then he went soft on illegal aliens. That was enough for me.

CRUZ TO VICTORY OR GET BUSHED !

Story leaves out the debacle of Paul supporters gaining control of the Iowa GOP and then having to be removed due to their ineptness. I’d bet the bloom is off the Paul Iowa rose and he won’t match his father’s numbers.

2nd Division ?

Now you got a Rand Paul supporter calling some Ted Cruz supporters communists because they are critical of Rand Paul and want Rand Paul to answer some ligitimate questions... Incredible..

I must be reading too much British news. When I read “Rand Paul’s First Test” I immediately though, “I didn’t know he played cricket.”

FWIW a lot of Ron Paul supporters moved to New Hampshire, probably not enough to make a difference.

Our local talk hosts got a few minutes with Rand this am before he spoke to the students in Iowa City. I listened with interest but the back and forth wasn't smooth.

They did high 5 Rand for standing up to that woman who rudely interviewed him.

But I noticed Rand can be a man of few words. He's succinct, direct and to the point. Then he stops talking. Then there is a pause because the interviewer wants to be sure he is finished before moving on to the next point. It's just a little awkward.

There were two local interviewers on the local am show; one was ready with good questions; the other asked only the last one. As usual I don't remember details all that well.

I don't know who can transition interviews better with the back and forth; maybe it was because they didn't know him that well. I'll see how it goes with other candidates and Rand with other interviewers.

He’s toast anyway on the ‘apple/tree’ rule.

If Paul can’t control his temper regardless of the provocation, he’s not going to do very well. Cruz has the ability, so far, to respond to attackers in the press without sounding thin skinned.

They aren’t discussing the fund raising efforts of other candidates. I’ll have to look and see where those stories are, they are the real truth on support and if a candidate has a chance.

Last I read Paul had about 14 million but that’s over years of fund raising. Cruz hit over 30 million in a week. It’s a whole different game when paulistas have to put their money where their mouth is.
