'GOP candidate (Rand Paul) Calls Hillary a Neocon' (11/6/15)

[francisco]

Seriously. Epic.

In short, he withstood the heckling, defended Carson against the idiotic media attacks, explained away his "bio degree" flap, blasted Cheney while aligning his position with the elder Bush, and called Hillary a neocon who is just like Rubio. "If Hillary Clinton is President, we will be back in a war in the Middle East." Should have stopped with a mic drop, but he ends up with Matthews shaking his hand on common ground.

All while taking the most conservative position.

Perfect Synopsis!

Deft performance by Rand. A lot of Hil supporters may be spinning their heads right now, over hearing Rand call her (neo) conservative. Also defending Carson in his current flap may earn him more brownie points towards being picked for VP, should Carson win the nom.

Or, better yet, Rand earning Carson's endorsement if/when Carson drops or is forced out.

Rand would decline an offer of VP as it would mean giving up his Senate seat and possibly being knocked out of politics all together. If it weren't a reelection year for his Senate seat, maybe. But it's not happening.

Good interview, Rand needs to show he has balls like this more often.

Those BLM signs in the background held by those white betas are just hilarious. A Black Lives Matter Presidential debate? By all means, have it. The more the insanity of modernity is displayed, the more whites will wake up.

It's about time.

LOL the crowd heard it, too!

From the back ground that I heard, crowd shift, I agree.

GREAT interview. Rand has the balls to call Hillary a Neocon, and Bernie doesn't. That was great!

Very good interview, I think Matthews leg might have been tingling a little bit.


Edit: Oops sorry, forgot Michael Nystrom doesn't think I should be posting in this forum.

[JK/SEA]

She's uniquely qualified to run the empire.

Shhhhillary still has that crazy eye goin' on striking fear into world leaders . . .

Rand needs to make the list even bigger. She supported The Bosnian war, the Kosovo war, Bills bombing of Iraq for WMD's during his impeachment as well as the wars in the middle east. There has NOT been a war she has opposed.

 

[jaymur]

Hillary opposed several wars

14 years after she supported them.

LOL Good comments on youtube!

I had to go read what the neo-Trots had to say about it.

Perhaps in an effort to reach out to his voter base, Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) called Hillary Clinton a “neocon” on Friday night’s Hardball.

MSNBC host Chris Matthews had asked what Paul thought of Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) receiving two new fundraising bundlers and getting more media attention. Paul compared Rubio’s stances to those of Clinton’s.

Paul highlighted that Clinton had supported the war in Iraq, the war in Libya, and was supporting a no-fly zone over Syria. Matthews asked Paul if Clinton was a “hawk“ when it came to foreign policy.

“I think Hillary Clinton is a neocon,” Paul said.

Matthews was shocked with his answer. Paul defended his stance by saying that he thought that Clinton and Rubio are very similar on foreign policy. Matthews repeated Paul’s statement back to him where Paul proceed to repeat the wars that Clinton had supported and that he was afraid of her.

“If Hillary Clinton is president we will be back at war with the Middle East,” Paul said. “I fear Hillary Clinton.”

Paul went on to say that there needs to be more diplomacy and used the Cold War as an example of diplomacy that worked. He called Clinton’s and the other Republicans’ support of a no-fly zone over Syria a sign of weakness that would cause more problems.

Those are the sound bites needed in his campaign. Simple, and not over explained to the public. Big plus is the public will remember it.

 

[r3volution 3.0]

Well done!

Got to wrap the anti-war pill in a nice partisan coating to get the GOPers to swallow it.

Here is an edit tying together both Rand's calling out of Hillary, and Matthews' hitting Hillary's Communications Director by asking her if Rand is right. Hillary's flack can only stammer and sputter in response. It's clear she has no defense against Rand's facts.
