New Rand Paul Ad: "Real Conservative"

He's a real conservative, who's a different kind of Republican and "libertarianish".

He needs to find a way to more consistently package and present his message.
 
The ad didn't do it for me. It blends right in with every other ad out there. The professorial approach won't work, there needs to be an emotional connection. A really good ad should evoke an emotion in the voters AND present good policy. People don't remember ads because of what is said in the ad, they remember them because of how it makes them feel. It almost doesn't even matter which emotion, as long as it isn't boredom.

As a whole, too, I don't really favor 30-second ads that cover more than one topic.
In this ad, we have:
-Both parties are to blame.
-I will cut both spending and taxes to make government smaller.
-My flat tax will simplify the tax code.
-I'll fight for term limits.
-I'll insist for Congress to read the bills.

..........zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz...........

Take any single one of those points and devote all 30 seconds to it, make a much better ad.
 
People don't want a 'real conservative.' At least, they don't realize they do.

Quit this nonsense, Rand. You're the fucking ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT candidate. Get that through your curly hair and head.
 
Rand Paul: America Needs a REAL Conservative [ad]



If Rand can effectively attack Trump and Bush while reiterating the content of this ad, he will have a goodnight indeed.

I do think Rand needs to go after Bush and Trump tomorrow. That way he doesn't look like an establishment plant... Trump isn't a real conservative and bush isn't a real conservative.. What do they have in common?... They both love the clintons lol
 
First, Rand has to really believe in himself, that he can lead the country. Maybe he does, but it doesn't look or sound like he does.

Trump likes himself, is confident, doesn't ask if it's okay to run for president or ask if you like like him or think his "stuff" is cool. That's why 'murika likes him.

In that OP video, Rand looks like he is straining to speak. Sorry, but that's what it looks like.

"I ran for office because ..." No, no excuses, you belong in that seat. Own it.

Congress to read the bills before they vote . . .
what a stunning democracy we got going on that it comes to actually needing that admonishing of Congress.

Rand could - in some of the lighter moments on stage (Jimmy Fallon, late night shows, and on campaign trail )
mention that he would make the Secretary of State actually read the cables too esp. when from USA outposts supplying weapons for both sides of the Syrian (civil ? ) wars.

The ad is decent, but I really wish that Rand would focus on the fact that he's a doctor and not a career politician. I remember when he ran for the Senate, he would include that line at the end of each ad. It seems like it really worked. "I'm Rand Paul. I'm a doctor and not a career politician and I approve this message."
