OK, Rand Runs for President in 2016. Great. But...There's One Important Question.

That and Senators (usually) have much more procedural options available to them... such as a filibuster or placing a hold, or demanding a roll call, etc..... in the House those things are much harder to do.

Agreed.

I think Massie should primary McConnell in 2020 when he's had a few years of House experience under his belt. I also think Amash will have enough experience in 2018 to unseat Stabenow.

I'd bet money that McConnell won't run again...

 

[outspoken]

Talk about jumping the gun... Do u know how many hurdles need to be jumped to have this as a legitimate discussion?? The GOP has to choose Rand to make it past the primaries and I just don't see any more support for him than Ronny got running against mitt. The tide needs to turn significantly within the RINO party and I hate to see him loose his seat in the senate without the support of the slime balls within the GOP.

Would that mean he would have to sacrifice his house seat?

if Rand wins the presidency (or VP) and the senate, then the Gov appoints a temp senator. when the special takes place varies by state law. most likely Rand's seat would then be up in 2018

Massie should def run for Senate. We lose too many Senate primaries.
