What Will Tom And Lew Say About The Debate?

Lew released a couple of blogs praising Rand:

Even Robert Wenzel, who is unduly harsh to Rand and his campaign, released a blog saying he did well at the debate yesterday:

So I would guess that Tom and Lew will praise him. They aren't as dogmatic and unwavering as some of the kool aid drinkers here who think Rand can never do any wrong.
 
They said Rand (and Cruz) wants to introduce a VAT tax,which I didn't know.Once in place,the rate can be raised easily.

But with Rand's plan if you raise the corporate tax you also have to raise the personal tax and by 3/5 vote of congress, which makes it much more difficult to raise the rate...

Any predictions?

I say they won't even mention Rand's name in their discussion.

Heap even more praises on Trump? just kidding, they cant do that. They have to still pretend for their dwindling audience the idea they are still neutral in their assessment.

Stopped listening after their first review of the debate and really don't care what they have to say anymore.
 
Tom: Rand didn't have enough material against Rubio
Tom: Said Rand didn't talk about no-fly zone consequences
Lew: Praising Ron for saying "put America first" (which Lew doesn't agree with, given his chuckle.) Implying Rand should have said that.
Tom: Rand mentioned the FED
Lew: Cruz is more anti-FED than Rand
Tom: Rand did well in Drudge poll
Lew: Trump won the debate, should have been more boisterous

Stopped listening 15:00.

What an idiot (Lew)...Ted specifically stated he wanted the FED to step in during that Bank of America scenario set up by Neil Cavuto (love Neil and he loves us).

Think of it like a balance scale, the better Rand does, the worse Lew does.

Not listening to this and a little disappointed in myself that I participated in this thread, but someone had to call out Lew trying to say Cruz is better on the FED, lol.

And in the end Cruz just proves how fake he is on liberty issues, he talks a big game throwing red meat to the movement like saying gold backed currency and audit the fed, etc...

How moronic do you have to be to actually buy that shit?
 
I haven't been on Lew Rockwell much this year, how have things been going over there in the last few months? I missed their coverage of the Trump campaign at it's height.

I'm assuming if I go on to LRC right now I'll see a Laurence Vance article about Veterans Day, some articles that you can finish reading on another website, at least one non-political article, something about non-discrimination laws, something about drug laws, and something about the Civil War.

Well, it looks like:

-Vance's article only mentions Veterans Day once (I was expecting the whole article to be about the holiday)
-An article about itchy feet that you can finish reading on the Daily Mail
-I couldn't find anything about discrimination laws
-An article about how marijuana is good for you
-Nothing about the Civil War

It looks like immigration is the new topic of discussion over there.

I actually agree with Tom on Rand v Rubio, from your recap. Once I listen to the podcast I'll be able to comment further on Tom's remarks, but while Rand scored against Rubio, he could have landed stronger blows. Rand allowed Rubio to paint Paul as wanting to tax money earned by an individual rather than keeping it with their family, the rightful owner of the money.

Thanks. Trump for liberty!
 
I don't read Lew much, or woods. I do listen to their respective podcasts some nights while I fall asleep, sometimes their together. Reading here it sounds like Lew prolly likes trump for his nationalist anti immigrant stance, as Lew has gotten in trouble in the past over his own racial fears. I think racial mixing makes beautiful people with strong genetics and nations with borders has nothing to do with Liberty.
 
You know, they made a good point (that I had previously observed) about Rand and Cruz's tax plans.

Rand has 14.5% for individual and business. Cruz has 10% for individual and 16% for business. They basically add up the same, but Cruz's sounds much better.

It is not possible to have a nation without borders.
 
What will Lew and Tom say about the debate?

Between selling vacuum cleaners or whatever the hell Tom does nowadays on his show, he and Lew'll find some reason to trash Rand.

...while talking about how Trump or some other worthless jackass is "shaking things up."

Then they'll tell you that voting is stupid (but if you do vote, make sure it's not for Rand, mind you, because reasons).

In other words, to answer the original question: something extremely fucking stupid.

Fuck you Lew, Fuck you Tom.

Its a shame I cant rep you for this
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to r3volution 3.0 again.

But that is basically what they do in their oh so boring podcasts. They throw in the obligatory backhanded compliment at Rand then proceed to nitpick at everything he did not say perfectly and finish by giving a big wet sloppy ass kissing to Trump.
