[Lnc-business] Rand trying to blend libertarian support with GOP allegiance.

[Roland Riemers]

While I appreciate a lot of Rand Pauls ideas,  after watching his head long attempt to capture the most conservative Republican award,  I could never support the guy.   Well, maybe over Hillary,  that I might have second thoughts on.  Hillary has some good positions, but is just so totally incompetent and self promoting, I dread the idea of her becoming president.  Howard Stern would probably be better then either.  Roland Riemers of ND

Interesting that Paul is staking out the Republican-loyalty position while Trump is staking out the non-allegiance-to-GOP position. On this point, Trump is decidedly more libertarian than Rand Paul.
Being defeatist about alternative parties is outdated, not to mention highly dangerous, especially when the result is endorsing people like Romney and McConnell. You can't get much more pro-Big Government than that.

Public sentiment against Ds and Rs - and for third parties/independents - has swung significantly since his dad's run as the LP POTUS candidate in 1988. Someone needs to point out to Rand (or to his target audience) that that was then and this is now.
