I'm so proud of and excited by Rand Paul's performance so far and the stands he's taken. He's been consistently great in the media (since Rachel Maddow), awesome on the Senate floor, and impressive in his press releases and in picking his battles. It's great to see him standing up and fighting, putting himself in the forefront of the issues, and positioning himself for the future.
A lot of people had some doubts about him during his campaign, but I hope they have been as satisfied as I've been that he's the real deal through and through. I really strongly believe that he is making all the right moves to run in 2016 and WIN, and that is one of the little lights of hope I can look toward when considering the otherwise bleak future America seems headed toward.
