2016: If not Rand, then who?

[Anti Federalist]

There sure as shit won't be elections in 2028 if we don't elect Ron Paul in 2012.

I thought this about Bill Clinton.

I reaaaaallly thought this was likely with W.

But you know what, "elections" will roll on, because, you see, it gives the system credibility.

As long as it goes through the motions, the masses are kept happy and under the illusion that they have some control over the process.

And as long as the system keeps a steady stream of "Coke" or "Pepsi" candidates that all follow the same script, how can they lose?

No, there will be elections of some sort.

ProChoice Republican! Never going to happen.

My lot is cast wholeheartedly with Tom Woods. He would be the very best successor to Ron Paul in terms of maintaining the latter's ideological principle and willingness to tell the unvarnished truth. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be even remotely interested in pursuing public office. Didn't Mark Twain say something to the effect of "the guy who wants to be president is the one who never should be, and the guy who should be president will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the office"?

This. I love Nap, but anyone who saw him with Stewart saw him get exposed a bit. He's just not a great debater. He's an awesome orator, but someone like Woods would be absolutely dynamite for the task.

I honestly don't see another.Thats why I've switched to libertarian.

Would love to get behind Judge Napolitano, but after being fired from fox do you guys really think he stands a chance? Sounds like the curse of the media blackout all over again. As much as I hate to admit it we need the media AND the GOP in our corner to be sucessful.

IF dumbo gets re-elected it will be because the economy just barley hung on and I think you'll see the deck stacked with mainstream GOP folks....Jeb Bush etc.

I think you're also putting a lot of faith into the USA even having an election come 2016. I fully expect Obameny to have assumed dictator status by delcaring permant marshal law long before 2016 gets here. I hope and pray that I'm wrong.

He wasn't fired from FOX.

+rep to the OP of this thread. I am currently listening to a Tom Woods speech and he is damn good. I'd never heard of him before....I'm still new here....

You guys act like you are going to sit on your thumbs until 2016 rolls around. The likelihood of us winning a presidential election is slim. We have to get liberty-minded people in state government all over the country and in the U.S. Congress. Those are very doable. If we want to make our odds better for a 2016 presidential run, then the more we have gotten elected to leadership positions in the GOP, the easier it is going to be. If we just do nothing until 2016, expect the same results.

Which won't do anybody any good. That's where the establishment wants you.

 

[ryanmkeisling]

Whomever hires Matt Collins to be his or her campaign manager has my vote!

This. Collins is gettin' skillz as we speak...

Hopefully Rand is too

 

[MikeStanart]

Rand. He's the only one who can bridge the gap between us and the "sheeple"

 

[Liberty74]

Judge NAP!!!

Actually he looked like a very weak debater against Jon Stewart of all people.

Rand will run and Rand will win in 2016 if Ron doesn't win this time. Rand delievers the message in a way that people eat up. We will own the GOP in 4 more years and the voters will argue for what Rand says, while forgetting they argued against it in 2012.

*fingers crossed*

 

[brandon]

Rand would be the only viable one. I'm not going to waste my time supporting someone who has never won an election as a Republican before, or someone who just defected to the LP after getting last place in 2012.

Agreed.
