Rand Paul 2016 with a Republican in office?

[Karsten]

Would Rand Paul run in 2016 only if its open, or would he have the guts to run as a dark horse against the Republican President (assuming of course it's not Ron Paul)?

 

[trey4sports]

its way to early to ask that.

It depends on a lot of things but i'd highly highly doubt it.

 

[Indy Vidual]

The economy might be so bad that he would win against anyone.

there's not going to be a 2016 election... at least not one that we would recognize as such

this is the last chance for the USA - if it's not Paul it's time to dig in or get out

 

[Schiff_FTW]

I highly doubt Rand or any other serious challenger would run against a sitting GOP president. Which is why we are better off with an Obama win if the nominee is not Ron Paul.

 

[Karsten]

Why not? Reagan took on Ford.

Yep.

C'mon, that is the EXCEPTION not the rule.

4 years later, Ted Kennedy and Jerry Brown took on Jimmy Carter.

What would happen if Rand became the nominee in 2016 when he is up for re-election in the Senate? Would he have to end his Senate re-election bid once he's the nominee?

agree.

 

[thoughtomator]

There won't be a Republican President not named Paul in the next 8 years.

 

[nasaal]

No. Rand plays ball with the republicans. This would be against the way he works.

 

[BrittanySligar]

My guess: He'll be Romney's VP nominee, Romney will lose, and Rand will be president in 2016.

The GOP goes down in flames if Ron isn't the nominee. NOBP

^this.

I am still in awe that Rand managed to win Kentucky at all.

What with the media and the GOP establishment.


THAT alone is an incredible sign and why I am still enthusiastic about politics.

His campaigning effectiveness is much better than Ron's even though Ron's overall platform is superior on many points.

I will be a Rand supporter all the way (age 24), and I can bet you he will be able to sway large cuts of demographics Ron's campaign have had trouble converting.
