Ironically, his political "pragmatism" has made him unelectable. Now he's just a better Ted Cruz or Gary Johnson. But that he can properly grouped with that crowd, while his campaign handlers apparently calculated it to be a strength, is the fatal flaw of his political aspirations.

When he ran in for president 1988 on the Libertarian Party ticket, he was far more "radical" than he has been in the last ten years.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-13409763154839280762015-07-16T07:26:24.241-07:002015-07-16T07:26:24.241-07:00It's my understanding that Ron Paul actually s...It's my understanding that Ron Paul actually started out as a conservative, and gravitated toward libertarianism as he got older. Rand might be going though the same experience, but it sure is a shame if that's the case. It would have been much better for him to pick up where Ron left off. Maybe in 30 years Rand will finally get to where the rest of us already are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-2830831693957644772015-07-15T11:00:09.083-07:002015-07-15T11:00:09.083-07:00"It’ll be interesting to see what somebody li..."It’ll be interesting to see what somebody like a Rand Paul has to say about this.”<br /><br />When I first read Obama's comment the other day, the first thing coming to my mind was:<br /><br />"Obama just sunk a knife deep, deep into Rand's chest."<br /><br />The reason for my thinking on this is because I have this suspicion that Obama knew Rand was going to fall into the Neocon line....<br /><br />I could be wrong, but that was my first gut reaction to reading the Big O's statement.Nick Badalamentihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14015961786370759940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-53240220886788719312015-07-15T06:04:20.772-07:002015-07-15T06:04:20.772-07:00"It’ll be interesting to see what somebody li..."It’ll be interesting to see what somebody like a Rand Paul has to say about this.”<br /><br />First, we have to figure out what Rand Paul is like.
