I think Rand Paul is establishing a position for pure political reasons regarding his electability.

He is using the rhetoric from what has been successful among democrats over the years.

He is going after the middle.

To capture the middle, he needs to tease them with “perfectly vague” statements.

If you go back six months or a year you would not find him making these statements.

He is going to run for President and is building his “history” on inclusion.

See, we conservatives actually care about what people say.

Liberals and many in the middle don’t.

They hear what they want to hear and will vote for the guy that gives them the one thing that they care about. They will disagree with 90% of what is said, but vote for him either way.

Conservatives, on the other hand, will reject a candidate for the 10%, while agreeing with the balance.

I think what people say should be held in the highest regard. But that is me.

I hate politics and I think most Conservatives hate politics. We want the un-nuanced positions that provide a sense of certainty.

Our culture has changed.

Do you think the average college kid is going to vote for a hard core republican?

These kids are passionate in their ability to shut down the conservative opposition.

Rand Paul is not stupid.

I am confident that he knows the difference between what it takes to get elected and the statements he makes to do so.

BTW, I’d rather see Ted Cruz or Scott Walker running than Paul.

But that’s just me.

We’ve done this conservative vs. Libertarian argument before.

I still contend that the libertarian is the only possible winner in 2016.
