I have been bantering this concept about here on FR, it deserves it own thread, Here is the case for Rand Paul as VP...
* Trump needs to get things through the House and Senate.
* With Newt as Chief of Staff, he can work Bills through the House with him, Newt knows were all the bodies are burried.
* And with Paul as Presiding over the Senate he has got a contact with the Senate to maneuver through that mind field.
* More So...
* IMHO Mitch McConnell owes Rand.....
* Say what you will about Matt Bevin as a Senate Candidate, he is the Gov. now, and is not to be taken lightly IMHO. Without Rand endorsing McConnell it might have been Senator Bevin.
* As a Fellow Freeper noted they have seen Sanders and Paul bumper stickers on cars in College / Liberal areas.
* FWIW, the Bernsters are not going to pull the lever for Kim Jong Shrill.
* As someone who is around kids I have noted the Millennial interest in Rand and I think he could swing a number of disaffected Bernie Voters to Trump, they like him he has got that Uncandidate Hipster thing going on and they dig it.
Three other things....
* Rand bowed out early with grace. and gave an unequivocal 100% Endorsement of Donald Trump
* Rand is also deemed as an outsider, he is an "insurance policy" that the ticket will not cave to the establishment
* And he was the only one to talk about cutting government and the debt, something that Trump around the edges has noted.
The locking up of the Millennial voters is key for the big Win that Trump is looking for. IMHO he doesn't just want to be victorious over Hillary he wants an Epic Victory. Snagging the majority of the Sanders Supporters by having Rand on the ticket would do just that.
Looking forward to your replies as always, Taildragger..
Many of his father’s followers may be supporting the Libertarian candidate now. They would support the ticket of TRUMP-PAUL
The republican governor would appoint the replacement or since he is running again is there a complication?
Interesting question on the race, perhaps a KY Fr-er can give us a perspective on their State Laws in such instances....
I’d love for them to run the DoD and DoJ respectively but none come close to Rubios name recognition.
That would be my dream ticket... it will be interesting to see who Trump picks.
I think he would be a good choice.
Mine as well. Senator Burr from NC also has my interest. Either way I expect it to be out of the box and it will be no one the dominant and conservative media is mentioning, all the names being discussed now are a distraction IMHO.....
huh? I mean, of course I knew that!
Asked about Trumps’s treatment of the judge, Paul said, “My premise for getting into this race was a different premise. That there wasn’t enough sort of rural white voters for the Republican Party to get bigger. I thought we had to get more diverse.”
Rand rejected everything Trump has won on.
Rand thought that kissing the ring of the media was a good idea and blaming the mostly white GOP base for all the problems was great.
He thought the Sunday Shows not the American people should decide immigration.
Rand Paul Plays Ted Nugent Like a Fender Stratocaster

Feb 21, 2014 - Paul may or may not turn out to be a skilled presidential candidate, but he works the media better than any other contender.
Trump should Pick Vitter, Steve King, Sessions, McCrory, Brown or someone like that.
Someone edgy enough he doesn’t bow to PC. Brown is a RINO but he’s not PC on Pocahontas and pulling punches on female opponents.
There’s Democrats & open borders libertarians who think they are “raging agains the machine” becuse there is some big prison contractor scam to put all the innocent illegal immigrants in detainment.
You must REALLY want Hillary to be the next president, or you’re just stuck on STUPID!
No, they absolutely won’t and neither will Trump!
lol, right?! The post above yours gives insight into ONE reason Rand is a solid NO.
Of course you already know that, just commenting on the post.
Do at least TRY to keep up! Ernst turned into a GOPEer, as soon as she got to D.C. !
I’ve been writing why Rand should NEVER president, nor VEEP for years and explaining why. So now I just post a short “HELL NO” or something just a bit longer. LOL
I doubt that...the Paulinistas are not really all that pro Rand and the LOSERTARIANS love Johnson, because he is VERY pro-pot and that’s mostly all they care about.
That should take some on Hellaries base ! Had forgotten the POT angle
"Hispanics" are a very diverse, made up group. The Mexicans hate the Cubans, the Puerto Ricans hate everyone else, etc.! Little Marco can't even help himself.
Hell no works just fine :)
Never EVER forget about pot and other illegal substances, when talking about Paulinistas! ;^)
