Walter Jones would be an interesting VP choice for Rand. In fact I can't think of anyone I'd rather be selected. Sure that ticket won't get the big bucks, but at some point Rand has gotta make the decision to either choose who the donors want or choose who would actually be a good choice.I'm confident if Rand followed Rep Walter Jones viewpoints, honest fights etc.. he would be the President in 2016.

Jones could be very electable unlike someone like Amash. Jones has a compelling story about how he woke up to the neocons, and is actually moderate on fiscal issues that the Dems love to demagogue. If Rand wants to pick someone who will send the message to the public that he is not just another Republican, Jones would be perfect.Donors are going to want a ticket that is viable in the general election. So that means teaming Rand (if he got that far) with a moderate/centrist.
And seeing as how Rand's strategy this entire time has been going along to get along, he's not all of a sudden going to make a principled move by selecting Jones.
