Rand on now!

 

[mavtek]

Wow Rand is really coming into his own! It might be a little late, but wow he's channeling his father and other greats here. Powerful speaking!

 

[01000110]

He's doing really well in my opinion.

Loved that the high school navy member wanted to meet Dr. Rand Paul.. At the end of the day, people like her is why I do this everyday. Life is too precious to play war games with..

 

[01000110]

They are replaying Rubio now.

Boy is he hard to take, don't know if I can keep watching him.

 

[01000110]

Rubio getting lots of claps and cheers because he is going off on Obama.

8 years of blame Bush followed by 8 years of blame Obama sounds like a dream. :S

Rubio goes on a fear mongering tear about ISIS beheading people and setting people on fire in cages, lunatic in NK, Iran building nukes... and says we need more military spending. Says will rebuild military. More spending more spending, bigger bullets!


Rand talks about balanced budget, respecting constitution, keeping out of your business, the magna carta and keeping out of dumb wars.


Crowd seemed more with Rubio.

I shake my head.

 

[mit26chell]

Hmm.. I don't see any video.

 

[01000110]

Some guy asks Rubio why people see him as establishment because he doesn't see it...

LOL

That's what the American people like. That's why I don't buy that fox not looking Rand has much to do with his poll numbers. Even in person the people like him in spurts when compared to the others.

It's not a great sign for the country.

I guess, at least the crowd in this town hall... they are mostly old people from what I could tell and I didn't hear anyones cell phone going off (haha).

So I hope all the talk about the college crowd in Iowa supporting Rand is real.

 

[01000110]

They are replaying Jeb....he is bashing Trump now ... getting moderate applause.

Did everyone get a standing O?
