Rand at 5% in CNN/ORC Poll (Tied 5th)

[derek4ever]

They will probably have Rand ahead of Christie, possibly Kasich.

So if Trump decides to go after Rand and his numbers, Rand can say that he's not Mr. 1%, he's Mr. 3% and that he's not numer 10th or 11th, but ranked 8th!

8th place in RCP-average with 3.6 now. 7th place is Huckabee with 3.8. Hopefully he'll be in 7th before the next debate and get some forward momentum from that.

The problem with the debates is the controlled establishment crowds. When a viewer on TV agrees with with Rand's points, then he/she becomes doubtful when it's meet by silence by the crowds. Now, I've seen Rand win over and get standing ovations from establishment crowds before, but doing that while rallying libertarians is a tricky balance. Hopefully he will talk a lot about the economy. He needs to establish himself as THE candidate for lowering taxes and cutting waste. Just talking about the NSA and criminal justice reform makes him seem like a fringe candidate.

He needs to go full Ross Perot on the economy. This is his chance! Let the other dunces ramble on or mudsling among them. Rand Paul 2016: It's Always Been About the Economy Bro!

Plus ABC just released a Democratic poll today so keep your peepers open on an eventual Republican poll (Rand got 5% in the last poll that was taken betwen 9/7 and 9/10)! :o

I wish Rand would take the opportunity to call Trump a liar and correct him every time Trump accuses him of being in last place and at 0% in the polls. When he doesn't correct him it reinforces Trump's lies. Fact is Rand is in 5th, and only 3% from Bush and Rubio. He needs to explain the absurdity of Trump's lies.

Rand should compare it to Trump lying about his own net worth.

you know...it seems the media never talk about huckabee

I have noticed that as well.

He could easily prepare a nice zinger on that.

I have noticed that as well.

Rand is actually worth talking about, everyone knows the type of organization he has behind him and they'd love to see it fail. The only reason they are attacking him so much is because he had a real shot in the first place.

It's amazing that Fox News actually reported on Rand moving up in the CNN poll.

I guess that means he has to give double

Yeah, and in the process they asked Rand why he was complaining about media bias, as if several so-called pundits on Fox and elsewhere in the media haven't been constantly calling for Rand to drop out because he's "over and done" and that "his poll numbers suck". Personally, I'm amazed at how easily and boldly people in the journalistic field continue to lie and keep a straight face while doing so.

You made the common mistake of thinking they were in the journalistic field when in reality they are actors. Glad I could clear that up for you.

It's been a long day and I'm a bit sleep deprived. When I saw this I thought it said $500, for a second. I was like, "Shit, wife won't be happy about this one, but a promise is a promise".
