Paul aide tells libertarian GOPers to avoid Rubio

[thatpeculiarcat]

Then why be in the Republican Party and run for such nomination when 99% of them suck ass?

Go INDY!!! Run INDY!!! It's where the masses are at anyway. Grab the middle while stealing from the Right and the Left. Screw the system that is controlled by the elites while both parties pretend to care.

In complete agreement. It's what Ron should've done in 2012 and 2008.

Rubio = Rick Lazio

It's extremely hard to win as an Indy. Look at how much the Libertarian party has accomplished. Ron did more running as a Republican than he ever would have running Independent. If you think it's hard winning the nomination in the Republican party, getting any traction as an independent is at least 10 times harder, only exception is if you're rich and/or extremely well known. Even still you'll need to battle the people who'll vote for team red or blue regardless of how good a candidate the indy is.

I mean look at Rand in Iowa, people went for Cruz, Rubio, Trump or Bernie over Rand because they wanted to go with someone they thought had a chance at winning.

Anyways I doubt Rand endorses Rubio in the primary. He probably would have endorsed Cruz but I get the impression that he doesn't like him personally. So he'll probably just focus on his Senate campaign and then endorse the Republican nominee.

If Bernie really spanks Hilary, Bloomberg gets in. Then Rand could get in. But he would have to drop his Senate campaign.

I don't want to be the party pooper. But I really don't want to see these kinds of pipe dreams pick up steam here.

After that, Paul aide also reminded libertarian GOPers to
- avoid having unprotected sex with known prostitutes
- avoid gas station sushi
- remember to raise the toilet sit before you pee.
- cover up when we sneeze in public

Among many other common sense behaviors. If as a libertarian, you need a Paul aide to tell you not to vote for Rubio, then you have more serious problems to deal with than Rubio winning the nomination.

Ohhh yeah! Now I remember!

Yob is the Rand aide who got a punch thrown at him by a Rubio aide at last year's Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference.

And I'm sure that that wasn't the incident that started it. There's bad blood here that goes way back to things that most likely none of us will ever find out about, and it has nothing to do with Yob loving liberty.

Good catch. That's probably the reason for this statement from Yob.

Could be Ron? Could be Judge NAP? I think the Judge would wipe the floor...

Technically...

Support does not necessarily mean endorse.

According to Dictionary.com, "endorse" can mean "to approve, support, or sustain: to endorse a political candidate."

"Support," in a political context, can mean "to uphold (a person, cause, policy, etc.) by aid, countenance, one's vote, etc.; back; second."

So, if Sen. Paul endorses Rubio, then Sen. Paul is actually supporting Rubio, in one sense.

There are some other good options, like Ted Cruz, who are far better than Rubio. I presume that is what Yob means.

I doubt it.
