Much has been said this month, both by and about the junior Republican senator from Kentucky, Rand Paul. During last week’s appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, the late-night talk show host broached the possibility of supporting Paul in a 2016 presidential run. Maher said:
“I know you’re thinking of running for President and in some states I know you can get Independents like me. I’ve said that. I am available to the Rand Paul campaign…”
As part of a strategy to reach outside of typical Republican circles, Paul did another interview with Salon.com’s Joel Keller, which was published Thursday.
In the interview, Paul shared what he believed to be the “biggest obstacle” to reaching out to voters outside of the traditional Republican base – the partisan primary.
Paul followers are completely nuts.....
And to think I used to like the guy.
Has Rand paid any attention to a little state called California?
Idiot.
Open primary idea has been rejected by the voters.

Unfortunately, Texas still has open primaries.
Texas needs to replace Straus and get legislation passed to close the primaries. Hopefully, new Gov Abbott will actively pursue that.
Open primaries are the worst possible thing
