Rand Paul joined the establishment RINO’s and supported that snake Mitch McConnell...lost all trust I had in the guy...much like Rubio and the Gang of 8. Poor choices like this cannot simply be erased.
I’ll stand with Ted Cruz.
Rand Paul looked mean and nasty in those interviews.
He knew full well what the MSM is up to.
Yet, he comes off looking mean and nasty.
He should be more selective in who he interviews with.
Otherwise, his McCain like nastiness is exposed.
I was impressed with how Sen. Paul handled obviously hostile interviewers. BUT that’s now it was reported by any media including Fox News... the media narrative was set (IMHO) before he ever set foot in the studio. “Rand Paul stumbled was testy and awkward”... bla , bla , bla! Again IMHO he must NOT apologize or waver, but take ‘em head on. Like... “Yes I get testy when forced to suffer media fools and false narratives”... all know Jeb has been chosen to lose to Hillary. Just a thought.
Cruz or lose.
I’m a Cruz supporter, but I applaud Senator Paul for sticking it to those vile sons of b*tches in the media and on the left.
He still dodged the question. Rather than answering the question, he posed a question for the reporter. While Paul’s question was a legitimate one, he should have given his own answer before questioning the reporter.
I don’t like it when candidates dodge questions. Ted Cruz seems ready willing and able to answer any question posed to him. Cruz’s responses generally leave the reporters flat footed.
Paul is guided by a libertarian perspective and he pretends to be pro-life, when in fact, he is pro-choice. He just thinks there is some point in the pregnancy when the government can stop it. That is the position of Roe v. Wade. Roe v. Wade stated that the Government has an interest in protecting a “viable” fetus. While democrats don’t even accept that premise, Paul does. But that doesn’t mean he disagees with Roe v. Wade at all.
For a physician trained in the Scientific Method, Rand is soft on a number of major, existential issues.

Like him or loathe him, at least Rand Paul was willing to stand up to the reporter’s questions, unlike “Conservative” favorite Mike Pence in Indiana.
Its time to take it to the media and take it to the Progressives with no apology. That’s the way to win.
Anyone could say that. That is the mating call of the pro-choice movement. "Yes, in general, I'm pro life but..................."
Would Hillary have answered that any differently?
All the people carping about Rand Paul’s nastiness, etc., should go to the referenced article, skip to page 2 of it, and click on the interview Rand Paul had with Wolf Blitzer on CNN after he suggested that Wasserman-Schultz be asked about how the Dems should view a 7 pound baby in the womb.
He destroyed her, with her own words, and on CNN at that.
Anyone who doesn’t at least acknowledge that is so biased against Paul that you’re not being rational. You might not like him for President, but no other candidate, or prospective candidate, has managed to do what he did in that series of exchanges. No one.
The problem is that Paul didn’t answer the question either.
There was a reason. Being a Libertarian, Paul knew his answer would probably not please the base.
“In general, I’m pro-life” is as wishy washy as Scott Walker saying “reasonable people can disagree on abortion.”
Ted Cruz would have also ripped into the media but also would have stated his position. That’s why he’s the best choice for conservatives.
