RAND KILLED IT!

[klamath]

You all can mock all you want. A president has to look presidential and take command. Rand did not do that. I talk for a living and it's my job to get a lot of information across to people in a very short amount of time and be interesting while I do it. I was a teacher befor this. Rand did not get the job done. He and Walker are about to flatline. Carson is not far behind.

You think you are good but you are NOT. All you have managed to do is irritate the crap out of a lot of Rand supporters. You either are not nearly as good getting your point across as you THINK you are or you are REALLY good at pissing people off if that was your intention.

He's not on this forum. You are.

You didn't have to duck even a little bit for that to go right over your head, did you?

I hate to break it out to you but you might believe too much in all the training you have received. You have some preconceived notions preventing you from accepting the only candidate, supporting whom would be beneficial for you. What would anybody do for YOU ? Are you looking too hard for excuses ?

I did not say that. I watched the entire debate. I think some candidates had a lot to say about the issues that matter to me. Besides the tax plan, Rand did not resonate with me. I was very disappointed he didn't speak up more about things he knows are things Americans care about. He has his niche voters and he will get that support. I'm not sure I am ready to commit. We have a long time between now and the primaries.

I am being very honest about my review of the debates. The nastiness here is not going to convince me to unsee or unhear what I saw and heard.

Well if you want us to go to war, boots on the ground, why don't you just send Tobis instead of sacrificing other people's children?

Rand is the most economically conservative candidate up there and he is not a war monger like all the others.

Who cares if a person can take charge if they are going to murder millions of people? May as well elect Hitler, for crying out loud you can't seriously care more about "taking charge" than freedom, liberty and a politician with reasoned beliefs..

Rand completely changed his approach here and sounded like the only adult in the room. He simply spoke the truth with sincerity and it worked. I expect a bump in the polls off this performance.

He was a f**ken dynamite. If the media does not want to cover this, too bad for them. I expect him to take things up a notch next time.

I hope Rand has finally ditched the notion that he can win by being sort of like the other candidates. Ron Paul started a big wave rolling. Why not build that up to contender status?

This is funny!

I think it's safe to say he has. If you want to send your children off to the meat grinder you have fourteen other choices. There will always be a Bush or Clinton for you.

Yeah, I think he burned that bridge behind him thoroughly enough. I haven't seen a single 'he's not a sincere libertarian!!' concern troll thread for months and months.

This is funny!

Is it ?

It's funny, my God people need to lighten up. I swear this forum is filled with the biggest pricks on the net.

Ha ha ha ha.

Anyways back to the main topic, I thought Rand did great. His composure was great, and clearly seemed like he was the only one who knew what he was talking about.

Ted Cruz was beyond creepy with his performance, yikes. He reminds me of someone from Americas most Wanted.

As Cruz stared into the camera, I was thinking that a Cruz/Fiorina ticket would strike fear in the hearts of people worldwide.

Agree that he sounded too passive with the now irritating "I think..." phrase.

I also think he did outstanding and turned on quite a few general election voters. All across my Facebook feed I read, "aside from Rand all of these people are terrible" and "the least worst of the bunch was Rand". That should definitely help if he can get considered for General Election polling like he was earlier this year.

you jealous?

 

[01000110]

Rand did great. I liked his performance, sure he could be a little more aggressive but I don't want him acting like blustering asshole that Trump is.

If all people care about is how they speak vs what they are saying than we are all well and truly fucked because you are going to get stuck with Trump or that crazy Carly.

I agree with the "I think ..." being a problem in sounding like he's overly trying to not assume others agree with him. There are plenty of people that agree with him on most all of the subjects.

He can phrase it as "I want my country back from this out of control government now! Are you with me?", "I want my government to stay out of my life!", "My government has to stop over spending my money!", etc... and there will be plenty agreeing with him without him assuming anything.

I've not seen the repentance on FB too much, yet.

What exactly are you doing here then?

Not that I ow you any explanation, I'm interested in personal liberty and responsibility and I want a more Constitutional government. Rand does not seem to be getting traction outside his base. At some point I have to cast a vote. The candidate that best represents my interests is not doing enough to connect with voters.

At the debate he had the very last word. He barely looked up and said something totally disconnected. I am beyond frustrated. And I'm really frustrated with people whose tunnel vision will not allow them to see that Rand's campaign is about to flatline. Doing "what he needed to do" is not enough when at least four candidates did way more than they needed to do to stay way ahead of Rand.

 

[euphemia]

You've been here long enough to know where he stands. He's not like Trump--he does take stands and doesn't do 180 degree flip flops. What do you like about him and what did you want him to say?

Oh, and try to give us the ten and a half minute version, if you would, and try to tie it all into the actual questions the man was asked. K? Thx.

By the way, have you heard from Superman lately? Because you're running out of time to get his permission to nominate him. And I don't see you settling for anything less.

The way some of you all talk, Rand is Superman. Not so much if the debate is any indication.

Of course I know where Rand stands on most issues. Is he getting the message across to the rest of the voters? Not really. Rand doesn't just need to win his own base. He has to win primaries and delegates.
