Rand Paul video shows Donald Trump praising Democrats

RecoveringNeoCon said:
Great ad indeed.

But this is why he shouldn't have endorsed Mitch Mcconell and cozied up to him. People will counter by saying the guy who endorsed Mitch McConnell is NOW upset about "fake" conservatives?

Not trying to be a downer, but hopefully that mistake won't come back to haunt us as Rand exposes Trump.

That's a fair statement. I think at the time Mitch was making a lot of promises that his ass has failed to CASH. I'm sure if Rand had to do over McConnell would not be in the senate right now. It was simply a gamble that just didn't pan out, due to Mitch being the snake that he is.
 
Wasn't Rand supposed to win New Hampshire by going after the independent vote? Attacking Trump on party loyalty is kind of stupid.

Not when you account for the ~20% odd GOP primary voters who hate "The Pauls" because they are perceived as libertarians in the wrong party with zero party loyalty who just take their ball and go home if they don't get what they want. The perception of course is 1000% bullshit lies, BUT it exists, and a ridiculous number of people believe it. This will help assuage those nutters by making it harder to lie to themselves. That makes it very difficult to suck new people in to their webs of deceit.

No. That's an extremely small sample size. When you get to a sample size of 300 or more instead of 10 you might be able to just start drawing conclusions.

That is a classic example of being fooled by randomness. You are seeing a pattern out out of random coin flips. This graph could change very easily shifting a couple of data points. For example Bush took office in 2001 right as the Nasdaq bubble was in a mass liquidation which lasted until 2003 then 2007-08 was a start of financial crisis. Clinton on the other hand took office coming out of recession and exited right at the start of a recession.
 


"The idea is not to go after Trump but rather to show the contrast between the two," said Doug Stafford, chief strategist for Paul. "A lifelong Democrat who is for bailouts, corporate welfare and buying influence vs. a reformer who wants to defeat the Washington machine, not buy it."

When asked about specific dollar figures related to the ad, Stafford did not provide the amount invested.

"We will spend what it takes to make sure every potential GOP caucus goer and primary voter in Iowa and New Hampshire gets to see why Rand Paul is the real candidate to Defeat the Washington Machine," Stafford said in an email.

This is a really good ad. It's not a traditional negative "attack" ad with a deep voiceover, it's just clips of The Donald himself talking... and then it offers the positive contrast of Rand. Both in their own words.

The "I live in New York, she lives in New York" part about liking Clinton might be effective with voters in Iowa.

And the finishing line where Rand says, "I will fight to keep the Federal government out of Iowa, out of your home, out of your business, and out of your church" should also work well there.

I didn't see anything that said where the ad will be airing, it seems long for TV so is it just internet?

No. A full business cycle is about 6 years. Some of those Presidents weren't even in office for two terms. Imagine a cancer study or a weight loss study with 10 participants. It takes a decade to get a drug through the FDA approval process because to actually draw statistically significant conclusions takes a very long time.

You are dealing with extremely small numbers that are hypersensitive to a lot of outside events like wars, oil shocks, natural disasters, etc. Plus there is a lot of overlap between Democrat and Republican macro policy. To actually filter through the noise and draw a statistically significant conclusion would take a very long time like a 1000 years.

It already is coming back to haunt him. The facebook thread for this video criticizes him on that base dozens of times.
 
Rand Paul is doing so poorly in the polls he has to revert to old footage of me discussing positions I no longer hold. As a world-class businessman...

LOL, that's when I ruined my keyboard and stopped reading.
 
Trump fired back at Paul, insinuating that Paul was being bought by donors.

Looks like we bought em
