Trump Fans Float Rand Paul As Their Top VP Pick

And you have. But, rarely do you source the entire interview or speech from which your quote was taken, so that it can be viewed in context.

I see you went with option #2. But does this really need context?

The only clip/video of Trump that I like is from Oprah from 1988.

We aren't "sideline sitters". We just don't agree with the choices between two authoritarians. We believe there are other options. You callously call 3rd parties a "protest vote" as if the two major parties own the rest. We disagree. Most of us think that the candidate, regardless of what party they're occupying, have to earn each vote each election cycle.

We don't subscribe to your false dichotomy. And interestingly, this election cycle presents perhaps the best opportunity in recent history to break through it. But in order for that to happen, people need to wake up from this Trump fantasy. (You know he sells those right? He wrote the book about how to sell people on their own fantasies)

The "sideline sitter" comment by LE is disingenuous. She was hardcore Trump when he wasn't even the last possible GOP choice. Ted Cruz supporting then going against the TPP is "grandstanding" but Trump supporting and then going against the Iraq and Libya wars, gun control, H1B Visas, tax increases on the "wealthy" etc is all "clarification." Cruz marrying someone who worked at Goldman Sachs and with CFR ties made him unfit to be POTUS. But Trump choosing such people as advisors is just fine. Trump can do no wrong. Others could do no right. Then when it came down to just Trump v Hillary it's "Well I'm not going to sit on the sidelines."

So, in 2008 those of us who didn't vote for McCain/Palin were in the wrong? In 2012 those of us who didn't vote for Romney/Ryan were wrong? Ron Paul was wrong not to endorse either of those two joke tickets? Ron Paul will be wrong this time for not endorsing Trump? We are seriously living in bizzarro world.

Ron Paul won't vote for Trump, that's one thing you can guarantee and that's why I love him

Well. They floated it. Then their Dear Leader got ahold of it. Dear Leader considered what their preferences meant to him. And he weighed that against what his buddies--Bloomberg, and Silverstein, and the Clintons--want.

And the rest...

...is history.

Denver fans start petition to bring back QB Tim Tebo. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...s-petition-to-bring-tim-tebow-back-to-denver/ Just about as much chance of actually happening as Rand Paul being Donald Trump's running mate.

I try to chime in on every thread where erowe1 brings this up.
To show solidarity with him.
Others do this too.

Do you have other people on this thread that have bought this xenophobic one-race-one-culture-one-country nonsense you spout here?

Personally I find this distasteful, having to explain our position so many times over. I do it despite the fact that you're once again going to kick and scream and not listen.
I do it because I know other people are reading this, and they might not have such a visceral reaction to the idea that we may not want to plunge into a police state just to keep the brown people at bay.

Either those who profess to love liberty are going to start listening to this position, or the alternative is for this movement to stay dead.
Closed borders is an unconstitutional, anti-liberty position. When a professed liberty-oriented individual takes that position he is being as philosophically inconsistent as is humanly possible.
Check yourself, before you wreck everything.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, fisharmor, but don't I recall you recently saying that you were all for the country being brought down?

Depends what you mean by "country".
If you mean "the state" then I am against the state and do not see any purpose in continuing it.
To reiterate my post you quoted, I particularly do not see a point in exacerbating it for the sole purpose of trying to keep people out.
If you want a bigger state to keep outsiders out, you still want a bigger state. A bigger state always brings with it less liberty.
I am at a total loss as to why this doesn't make sense to so many people, and to reiterate another part of that post, I still very much find it distasteful that I have to explain this over and over and all to no avail.

The State is already 50X bigger than it needs to be to fend off invasion. Securing the border has nothing to do with "making the state bigger". You could slash the Federal Budget and still effectively secure the border. The reason for the current crisis has nothing to do with money, manpower, or material. It is a function of the President of the United States being a treasonous foreigner committed to destroying America by ordering the Border Patrol not do do their jobs.

"I don’t need two anti-establishment people," Trump said. "Someone respected by the establishment and liked by the establishment would be good for unification. I do like unification of the Republican Party."

He isn't picking Rand, this is just trumpbait.

The day Trump picks Rand Paul as his VP choice is the day we find out who killed Kennedy.... aint never going to happen and this is all pure and ceasless bS.

Don't feed the trolls.
