[Video] Rand Paul on The Situation Room w/ Wolf Blitzer 1/11/16

There's no point debating. The only reason Fiorina and Christie rose back out of the undercard is because the MSM were pushing them as alternatives to Trump.

Regardless of whether or not he participates in the so-called under-card debate, I'm not watching the main debate, there is literally no point in watching a bunch of indistinguishable morons yammer about how cool it would be to set the entire Middle East on fire and start World War III with Russia.

 

[sam1952]

I hold out one hope and that he finish ahead of some of the "top tier" candidates come Iowa...

We'll see how good his ground game is and how accurate the polls are, could be telling one way or the other.

 

[derek4ever]

What's sickening is that he was probably less than a week away from jumping ahead of at least one of them in the polls (Bush/Carson/Christie).

Maybe he could use the undercard debate to boost his liberty chops! Although if Rand does say he isn't participating in it, there's not much to do but respect his position and keep on trying to convert people and tap into voters who are in the woodwork.

 

[Dary]

Dobbs just said "Paul told CNN he won't participate" and one of the guys said "good riddance"... Then the others agreeing that he's not wanted.

Was it that fuck Ed Rollins?

Well, Carson will continue to fall faster than Rand at this point, Jeb also is going to continue to slowly weep support away....the fat man is a 1st tier candidate at this point because he is more talented as a establishment speaker than all but alfalfa. He is like the new santorum. Can Paul survive? Maybe. Make it to Iowa. Paul needs to almost drop an F bomb on TV in regard to this though. Any time you attack the media, you go up. Watch the debates; guys start debating the moderators. Paul needs to get really snarky in a nuclear type way. Like, film him watching the debate on his couch, and let him just blast them in real time. IDK, what does he have to lose?

 

[timosman]

He should do a live commentary on the main debate via Youtube. Mock them mercilessly.

 

[statist slayer]

Without Rand, it's fantasyland.

 

[JJ2]

Fiorina should join him and leave them with a two-person debate. See how they respond to that.

 

[derek4ever]

Fiorina should join him and leave them with a two-person debate. See how they respond to that.

Or maybe Rand could invite Fiorina, Santorum, Hukabee and Gilmore to their own debate without rules and time limits. I can dream can I?

[Robrank]

Please, people. Not the end of the world or his campaign. The fact that he's making noise shows he has staying power. Again, Christie was bounced to debate two and his debate didn't end. You can say it's closer to Iowa, but the candidates garner as many headlines outside of the debate as they do during it.

That was months out, not three weeks before Iowa

 

[simon1911]

Hope they choke on Trump. They deserve their neocons.

 

[LatinsforPaul]

He should do a live commentary on the main debate via Youtube. Mock them mercilessly.

That would be awesome. We should take over over the internet during the debate.

 

[Crashland]

Rand needs to call a press conference saying he will make an announcement. Then unleash all hell in a massive speech.

 

[Robrank]

Once a front runner, his chances are killed because they are black listing him from the debate.

 

[derek4ever]

I think this could be a good move for Rand. Accepting being in the undercard is just to downplay any positive mo for his campaign and the MSM is going to attack him, whether he's on stage or not. He'll use his time better by having a historical filibuster against the Fed and I actually see positive mo. If he'd done the same thing Ron did in 2012, they'd move the goal posts anyway. It should be up to the brainwashed sheeple to wake up if they really give a dang about what's at stake. And for those of you who think his campaign is over, you either have no idea of how powerful the MSM brainwashing is and also don't know that Rand has serious ground game in Iowa and New Hampshire. Just wait and see what happens after those 2 states!

 

[LatinsforPaul]

Entire interview...

 

[derek4ever]

Hope they choke on Trump. They deserve their neocons.

The beltway is so damned stupid. They can't even coalesce around 1 candidate and have their support be thinned out among 4! They had their choice to back Rand when he went after Trump in the first debate but nothing. So they can wail in their milk when neither 4 of their candidates will end up being viable.

 

[LatinsforPaul]

Wow, for the first time in history the winner of the GOP Iowa Caucus will NOT be in a debate three weeks before the caucus.
