If you were Rand Paul's career manager

[helmuth_hubener]

I think my advice to Rand Paul is simple. Always be honest and direct. Don't lie. Treat the voters as the intelligent
people that they are. More than 43 years ago Richard Milhous Nixon thought he could lie to the American about the
Watergate scandal. The release of his presidential tapes brought home how deceptive he could be and he resigns the
presidency. The next year and a half will be difficult, we all are going to go on a roller-coaster ride of intense emotions
but if we create the environment for a successful presidential bid by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, it will be worth it.

This is excellent advice! In my opinion. Many, perhaps most, will disagree.

We are at a crossroads...

What makes you think he needs your advice?

What makes him think someone could decipher his advice?

If you were Rand Paul's career manager and your job was to get him as far as possible in the political world, what would you do?

Should he go into state politics (Texas?) or run for congress in a few years time or what? How far can he reach, do you think?

This is the opening post in this thread.

Given that it is now 2018, what does he do next?

 

[Aratus]

Give him advice! He doesn't have to listen or agree!

What would you say to Rand?

Thank you, sir!

MY ADVICE IS THAT OUR NATIONAL DEBT WILL TRIGGER A GREAT DEPRESSION BETWEEN NOW
AND 2035. Rand Paul needs to run in 2020 against either POTUS TRUMP or POTUS PENCE. He is
likely to face in a fall debate a Demiocrat who sounds literally like FDR if he waits for 2024 or 2028.
This assumes Rand gets the Republican nomination. Trump's feckless budgeting has set off events.

Thank you, sir!

"Thank you, ma'am!" I'm female.

The 3.7 unemployment is in tandem with a bigger war hawk budget
and a thriving population of senior citizens increasing in size as more
people reach retirement age. The candle is being burnt at both ends.

The question was about Rand.

 

[thoughtomator]

Rand's already doing what I want him to do - work hand in hand with Trump to defeat our common enemies.

Nothing like the final phase of the empire. There is so much money to be made due to extremely inefficient markets.

My mistake. I assumed you were thanking me for
actually coming up with a post that is easy to read.
Yes, likewise I should thank Rand for talking Trump
out of declaring war on Iran that time. Yes, indeed.
