the thing is we thought Ron Paul could get nominated up to the convention. We thought he had a majority in five states. The delegates came to the convention aspiring to nominate him. Kasich's situation is different.

I think Kasich is dead ( not literally but in the political sense ). The question is what happens to the Ohio delegation? Likely they will not be pro-trump. I wonder if they will revolt ron paul delegate style.

He's following the rand paul model. trying to get elected to a federal office, as an outsider, with no money. it probably doesn't work. Maybe congress. He obviously wants to go to Washington.

It's the force of incumbency. McCain should have a tougher fight though. he's going for his sixth!

Nesta webster, oh no, I've been linked to her by you guys before I recall. I'm reading War and Peace. It skips King Louis. Napoleon saved the french people from anarchy, but he didn't hand power back to the Bourbons. I guess he didn't trust the monarchy, because it had failed.

Is it guaranteed any of the top 6 will drop out after south carolina? I definitely think bush and rubio could stay in until super tuesday. And If Carson Or Kasich have a surprise performance in SC, which is not implausible, one of them could stay in as well.

I thought his senate challenger was gay? Also Rand should not have stayed in. He has done enough, but admittedly not done enough that was effective.

t-rump, that's a good one I didn't hear before. :D Trump's luxury brand is dead, that's the truth. Probably hurts his ego.

Yeah whoever was responsible for them, you'd think the Paul campaign would have brought them on board. I think the Paul campaign in many respects has better people the Ron's. but this is one strange incongruity.

Reserved time != ads. It should but it doesn't... At least as far as I am aware The closest thing the Paul campaign released to a tv ad this month, was the audit the ted video. And the ad that purple pac is airing is god awful.

tv ads matter for Rand right now. Probably less than half of the votes Ron received were from liberty minded people. Rand Paul may lock up the liberty vote but he needs more than that.

As far as I'm aware, the Rand Paul campaign hasn't aired any during the last couple months unlike almost every other serious contender, which is a major disadvantage. The only reason I can proffer is that this is due to lack of campaign funds, which is really quite sad. For a reminder.. these...

The reason why we haven't seen many is perhaps because every candidate besides Cruz and Rubio are in single digits. Hitting trump could benefit someone else. Now that Ted is up front his campaign is airing one. ( as of Jan 25 ) called "New York Values." Someone keeps a register of running tv...

Democrats accuse trump of being a fascist for all sorts of nonsensical reasons. So I am sick of hearing that. Anyways I'm not sure this proposal by Trump is really "fascism" or not. But this is a good opportunity for a response from Rand. Maybe he can explain why this is idiotic.. and what the...

Palin speaks trumps language so it would be natural for her to ally with him. On the other hand, if she can find a nuanced and coherent anti-trump message, she would be much more valuable that way to any campaign that needs to peel off trump voters.
