    Judge Napolitano not on list of Trump's top 11 Supreme Court picks

    Honestly Judge Nap is probably too controversial after he spent an entire episode of the Daily Show arguing we shouldn't have fought the Civil War. He's 1000% correct, of course, but even Trump would have trouble managing that kind of controversy.

    Thomas Massie's Bill to Audit The Fed Passes Committee Markup

    Wow. I know what video I'm linking to next time someone claims Audit the Fed is unnecessary or a bad idea. Thomas Massie is so awesome.

    'Major Endorsement' from Rand coming tomorrow

    That would be pretty interesting if Rand were to endorse Bernie...

    Greg Brannon announces run for Congress against Renee Ellmers

    Well this is exciting, he might actually have a shot at winning this one, especially after running two senate campaigns. Brannon would make a nice addition to Amash and Massie in the house...

    No Paul at CPAC

    Folks, if Rand were "burnt out" and ready to give up, he wouldn't be running for another 6-year Senate term, especially since he's almost certain to win.

    GOP Will Be Forced To Change The “Ron Paul Rule”

    LOL. Talk about blowback. Then again, in 2012 they changed that rule on the fly at the convention. It seems to me they could just do that again this time around, no?

    Gary Johnson: Fox Business to Host Libertarian Party Presidential Debate

    Hopefully it's going to be an hour-long format, otherwise that's not much time. Then again, it's kind of amazing that a third-party debate is airing on a major cable news channel (I know, it's FBN, not FOX News, but still).

    Here's What Julian Assange Thinks About Voting For Hillary Clinton

    To me, that "we came, we saw, he died" video is the single most damning thing for Hillary -- it reveals her to be a bona fide sociopath. I've always felt this, if nothing else, would be her un-doing.

    Cruz's anti-Hillary "Office Space" ad is amazing!

    I'm not a Cruz supporter but his new ad is amazing. Must watch:

    Does Rand need to change for the next go around (2020) or was this just not his time?

    I have great admiration for everything Rand tried to do and it was a fantastic effort, but he was playing a part that can't succeed. Here's the archetypes one can win with in modern presidential politics: 1. No-holds-barred, "can't be bought," advocate-for-extreme-change, fiery truth tellers...

    Would You Vote For Trump If He Promised A New 9/11 Investigation?

    Trump said he hired investigators who had uncovered "absolutely unbelievable" dirt on Obama's birth certificate in Hawaii. We never saw that and he amazingly gets away with just saying "I don't talk about that anymore" when asked. I'm not a "truther" but if I was, I sure as hell wouldn't trust...

    Rand pulled out too early

    Those who are saying his finish ahead of Bush/Kasich/Christie could help him argue for his inclusion in the next debate should keep in mind that Fiorina is essentially trying to make the same argument and ABC didn't budge for her.

    Lost/Confused Rand Paul Supporter Considering Supporting Bernie Sanders...

    I also think Bernie and Ron Paul (through their success) and Rand Paul (through his failure) have demonstrated that the only likely route to victory for a real grassroots candidate is to be authentic and candid like Ron Paul, not to triangulate like Rand attempted to do (for the record, I've...
