I don’t want to antagonize you about Rand Paul. As a supporter, you should write him and encourage him to clarify his remarks about amnesty, life, McConnell vs Bevin, gay marriage, etc.
Even if you can say, “you need to listen more carefully...”, that isn’t the issue. Most people won’t go back and “listen more carefully.”
He needs to put out a clear position paper. I want to know. So do many others. I’m open to supporting him if these things get correctly answered. (Although Cruz will remain my favorite.)
“Even if you can say, “you need to listen more carefully...”, that isn’t the issue. Most people won’t go back and “listen more carefully.”

Rand Paul is suffering from the Pope Francis syndrome. Making too many confusing statements, trying to get people to like him, instead of standing up for what’s right.
Look, his position is very clear. He voted against the senate amnesty bill and laid out his own plan to solve the problem.
He cuts all the government benefits to illegal aliens and provides no new path to citizenship. They can apply for a green card but have to go to the back of the line.
Most illegals under his plan will self deport because he eliminates all the magnets. The plan is very detailed and you can find it online.
Now please ask your candidate to clarify this:
Cruz Tries to Claim the Middle Ground on Immigration
“The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight,” he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.
“I have said many times that I want to see common-sense immigration reform pass,” he said.
