Watching right now. (Someone add a tube when it is available).

On Clinton's email scandal:

1) Some of the emails on her private server are so secret that even congressmen aren't allowed to see them.
2) Clinton fired an ambassador for running a private server

On Obama saying his biggest mistake not planning for the "day after" on Libya.

1) Rand told the president in a meeting that he (Obama) went back on his pledge to not take the country to war with the consent of congress.
2) Libya is now a disaster with 2/3rds of Libya under the sway of ISIS.
3) Hillary Clinton is also responsible for what happened.
4) Some leading republicans are also responsible.

On Trump's delegate woes.

1) Trump should have learned about the delegate process before he decided to run.
2) In some cases his dad won delegates after losing the popular vote because his campaign understood the delegate process.

On his decision to drop out early.

1) No regrets.
2) We just didn't have the votes.
3) It was hard to compete when the media gave Trump 25 times more coverage than anybody else.

Thanks Rand, nice interview on the topic. This was big as many of us are forced into the Cruz-Trump debate and now Rand comes out like he should have. Trump is ok but whatever, I hate the whole damn party. GOP, lol, suck my - yeah - garbonzo beans.
 
Good video, thanks for posting.

Rand clear and reasoned. Makes me sad, America foolishly turned their back on someone who could have been a great Prez.
 
Good Interview!

But can be improved. He is too PC.

Rand doesn't like to talk in soundbites, and really he just doesn't like to make things too black and white. Libertarians tend to think in moralist and simplified terms, where things neatly fit into their world view, which allows them to easily dismiss criticism or nuanced thought that doesn't conform to their ideas. For this reason Rand wasn't as popular as his dad with libertarians or other anti-establishment voters because he didn't use bombast, buzz words, or blunt rhetoric often.
 
Don't confuse his thoughtful answers with simply trying be less radical, or more moderated. Rand just naturally talks like an academic or professor, which bores people in politics.
