So wikileaks says Rand Paul was considered a threat.

[euphemia]

Rand had the opportunity to speak to his base and expand it, and he chose not to. Instead he went to the fringes who were single-issue voters and voters with no money.

He had a chance to really talk about issues in a way that proved there was a different way to think about war and foreign relations, and he really did not grab the opportunity. Trump's talking point were more libertarian when Rand was still in the race, but Rand burned the bridge when he attacked Trump in the first debate.

 

[Mordan]

So you think Rand should have played nice, but not Trump.

Trump cannot be educated, all he does is viciously attack everyone, and cry foul when anyone does the same to him.

Look at those who tried to Attack Trump. As euphemia said.. Rand dropped the ball in summer 2015. Trump pick it up and kept it until the end. Trump won the nom because he talked about the issues in a relatable manner to the deplorables... not for those armchair purists who think the "Liberty" word is going to magically give a paycheck to everyone.

Rand shouldn't have played it nice... AGAINST THE ESTABLISHEMENT!!!!!! Voters saw the steel balls of Trump and went with him.

I would like a list of these supposed Clinton Shills. Don't get me wrong, I know whose name is at the top of most of your lists, but I'm curious who else you honestly believe is bought and paid for by the Clinton Campaign.

I just don't see it. Killary does not get positive articles on here and no one actually defends her. Or are you implying that anti-Trump posts automatically make one a Killary shill? If that's the case, I must be a schizophrenic Shillary supporter since I constantly attack her and make anti-Trump posts every once in a while.

And if just 1 in 3 of the people who say, "I would vote third party, except that I don't want to waste my vote," would actually vote for a third party, the Republicans and Democrats would both receive the kick in the nuts that they so richly deserve.

third party votes are a joke anyway...

ever hear of being co-opted?...look at what GJ has done to the libertarian party...it wouldn't be what ya'll expected.

No.

There was actually a concerted effort from the MSM, DNC & Hillary Inc to push Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and mostly Donald Trump as the candidates to win the Republican primary.

This is clear as day and was admitted in the emails that were leaked. You fools ate up Trump as your savior when he is the joke the Democrats wanted to be up against the entire time, as the only candidate who would even have a chance of losing to Hillary.

Trump won because Trump got 99% of the fabricated news coverage. That's the only reason. It has nothing to do with "steel balls", policies, strategy, or anything else. This was a show put on to control the opposition.

I think Gary Johnson may be too extreme libertarian, for most people

He's not a Libertarian. He wants to use government to feed his own interests and doesn't really believe all people should have complete liberty.

 

[TheTexan]

If you are right, this shows the power of the press and current regime. What Rand could have done? Imagine Ted Cruz or Ben Carson winning the nom. Same controlled opposition?

 

[pcosmar]

well every single Republican who didn't support Trump become irrelevant if Trump wins.

They became irrelevant when they allowed him to claim to be Republican,, and allowed this charade to continue.
