Rand defended his dad well here. The one thing Ron and Rand excel at is never creating needless drama. The media constantly tries to get them to choose sides, or fling shit at someone and they wont ever take the bait, because they are better than that.
However, the one thing that did bother me about Ron when he was on Cavuto a few days ago, is he asked Ron if he would ever support Newt, and Ron was like [paraphrasing] 'Ehhhhh well...i mean, he seems to be kinda changing a bit to how i see things....he did talk about the Fed needing an audit and some other things, sooooooooo...if he were to change and be serious about that i would definitely think about it'. I mean, cmon now

Ron knows deep down that Newt is a spineless bastard and goes against 95% of everything he stands for, so why not just be honest about it and say something like Peter King did recently. I hated seeing that, because it's almost as if it was some 'technical endorsement' or something, for a guy everyone here can't stand the sight of, and who Ron really doesn't like at all.
Ron also knows that Newt was the guy who tried to kick Ron out of congress back in 1997 when he came back from his medical practice hiatus. Newt tried all he could to keep Ron winning his seat back and was getting many house members to side with his opponent. He even got G. HW Bush to help rally against Ron (which is funny, because HW didnt have many good things to say about Newt some time after that lol). He did this because he knows Ron is a true constitutionalist who goes against Newts fucked up agendas and plans. It didnt work though, Ron still won. I am certain Ron knows all of that too, so when he kinda talks nicey nice about Newt it just really irks me a bit.
Jesus. If Rand stays clean, how in the hell won't he be president some day?
Yep...He is following his dads approach, so no matter what Ron does here, we have an excellent back up plan in the future. Rand can use all this time to build up a great reputation in the Senate and one day run for potus himself.
