Two men, four first names, let the battle begin!

Hahaha, +rep to you my friend.

Edit: oops, gotta spread it around first. Doh!

 

[Warlord]

should be good

My prediction for the topics:
-Jeb Bush's comments about Iraq. Todd will find a way to connect this to Ron.
-Expiration of the patriot act and the recent NSA ruling. Why he opposes the USA Freedom Act, and what his alternative is.
-Death of Abu Sayeff in Syria. He'll be asked whether he thinks the US will do more.
-Meeting with CBC about CJR. May be asked again about his Baltimore train comments.
-Stephanopoulos Donations.-Tsarnaev Verdict and the death penalty.

I think he has a good chance to win the debate on foreign policy, the more he exposes the neo con agenda the better he looks. He needs to say, we need to stop doing the same thing and electing the same people while expecting different results. He needs to say if you elect hillarybush we will get war, if you support me i will keep you safe without sending our kids to die.

 

[Warlord]

any video?

Show is over in 18 minutes.

Video cuts off at 10:00 mark again, not sure why Rand's uploaders keep doing that. But I think it was at pretty close to the end of the interview.

I get so frustrated when I watch Rand interviews. He's clearly head and shoulders above anyone else who's running and at the same time he sucks.

Rand did an excellent job in this interview. I especially liked his education ideas, which is really a unique way of looking at it and I think it will be a popular position across the board except perhaps teacher's unions

 

[robertwerden]

The education subject is so important to winning.
When students hear the message of being able to attend an online college level class, with a Harvard or MIT instructor that is dirt cheap compared to what they would pay if they where in that professors class room, they will vote for him just for the opportunity and the savings. This is a very powerful way to attract not only youth, but stay at home parents, specifically women who want to finish their degrees. This needs to be pushed, because it is the youth, female and minority vote that will win Rand the election.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Good job by Rand.

On the discussion of education at the end, Chuck Todd is either playing dumb or is simply a statist simpleton. Todd tried to equate having the best teachers teach more students, presumably via the internet, with centrally controlled and planned education by the government in the form of Common Core. Only an imbecile could think that those have to go together.

Having a popular and effective internet teacher in no way requires central government control.

It hits on several levels.

First, it provides access to lower income Americans.
Next, it provides access even outside of America - Good for a nation of immigrants.
Next, it provides a huge money-making proposition to people like Peter Thiel who has been pushing this idea. Deep pockets.
Then, it gets the teachers' unions fired up. But in a way that there is no mistaking who they are really concerned about. Hint: it ain't the kids.
Finally, it helps with a younger generation that is looking for new ideas for old problems.

This issue is a winner. Hopefully, he baited some unions with this discussion...

 

[Schifference]

Intelligent poor people have no problem acquiring an education in the US. The middle wage or upper middle wage earners are the ones that are suffering.

Go on?
