Why is this forum not on fire??

[rich34]

How in the world can some of you guys be down on Rand? Question per question he won this debate hands down, but when you only get one questioned asked to you directly in the first hour and 20 mintues how can you expect him or anyone to do any better?? This debate was a travesty! Rand did great for the questions he was asked, but one flipping question in an hour and 20 minutes is beyond rediculous. He got passed over more than any other candidate. I'm I the only one that saw this?? If this happened to Ron as it did, this forum would be on FIRE as it should be right now! I'm fuming and oh fox news just covered the Rand vs Christie fight and Brent whatever his name is litterally said Christie won that exchange and not only that "I believe he seriously hurt Rand Paul" thus setting the stage to replace Rand with that Carly lady in the next debate... This is BS, this forum should be on FIRE! The only good that can come out of this is hopefully it causes all those that have been on the fence about Rand to jump in full bore!! Not only that but all his supporters in general should all be just as ready to go to bat as they did Ron. Damn I'm pissed with fox news and their manipulating ways! This proves Rand is the real threat just as Ron was even right down to their current post debate coverage of how Rand has been hurt by the Christie exchange. Other than Rand being covered negatively its obvious theyre going harder after Trump, but these two are the only ones according to fux news that got hurt by this debate. BS come on people stand up!!
* * * *
Oh and Kruthammer just said Christie was a "winner" tonight based on him getting the best of Rand Paul! The negative spin Rand getting is just as bad as Ron recieved... And now the fuck you Frank Luntz focus group is literally pumping Cruz and Huckabee lol. This shit is so scripted and controlled it's not even funny any more. According to them Rand was hurt in this debate.. Just watch they're going to roll out some fake manipulated polls to push Rand down even farther, they're going to try and push him out of the top ten.

Just now now repeating that Christie got the better of Rand and Megan Kellyssid yeah but what about his line saying you were hugging Obama, "oh but Christie had a good comeback for that saying I was hugging the folks on him911" LMAO Are you serious? If this was Ron this forum would be pissed and on fire! Come on people let em have it!

Wow, and the dude on there just now said Rand may have got himself a few more minutes by inserting himself against ttrump on the single payer system.. Well hell the man had to do something considering he got asked ONE QUESTION in an HOUR AND 20 minutes! Is anyone else not outraged over this??

Don't worry about the spin. Anyone watching knows who will defend their privacy and who wants to let the government spy on them more. The government spying on everyone is not a popular position.

This debate was the BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR A LIBERTY SUPPORTER... Rand blew up Christie. It is the biggest moment of the debate according to even fox.. Let's be real.. Rand got needed attention and will be talked about

 

[eleganz]

But he did not sound like his father!!!!

Alright, thats enough shitting around from me tonight.

 

[Legend1104]

I am mad, but they did it to Ron Paul over and over and over and nothing ever happens. No voter seems to care, they are all sheep, they lap it up like kittens to warm milk. I honestly don't get how dumb people can be. I will watch Fox say "x, y, or z" and then I start hearing friends, family, and church members repeat it like gospel. Every time, and no matter what I do to try and change their opinion it never works and they don't listen to me. I live in the walking dead surrounded by zombies. I watch these people say how democrats/Obama is destroying this country, and then they help throw gas on the fire by choosing these horrible candidates.

I've really got no problem with Rand's performance tonight. The clips he did get will be replayed a lot more than most of the others.

Yeah, this.

Sorry, my stock of outrage is all used up.

 

[enhanced_deficit]

I watched part of debate and few clips so far, he did well in those.
Overall it's a spectacle for show only, winners losers are decided elsewhere.

 

[kbs021]

Rand sounded exactly like his father.. Go watch his answer on Israel foreign aid..

 

[SpiritOf1776_J4]

Need to recruit the younger generation. yeah, thats right oldsters - 2008 means you are no longer the youth.

think of as being obi won kenobi, i'm getting to old for these sort of things. recruit. etc

 

[eleganz]

Agreed, Rand breathed some fire into his campaign tonight. I'll bet the grassroots hasn't been this excited since the NSA filibuster.

The more the media talks about the exchange, no matter who they say won, will be a question in everyones minds. At least Rand has the bill of rights on their side.

Understood and Im not jumping at folks like youself, but rather speaking truth to what happened and wondering why more folks aren't as fired up as they were when they pulled this shit on Ron. Rand bitch slapped Christie and fux news is somehow spinning it that Christie won! Where is the out rage? Im fixing to email fux news right now about this BS! And no not in a way thatll do Rand harm, but am certainly going to let em know that was far from "fair and balanced.."

Now their letting Debra Washerman say no one challanged Trump, and even letting her say how is Rand Paul going to win independents due to his remarks on the civil rights act!! Never did the fux news host correct her and say uhh Rand does best with independents and is beating Hillary in 5 states.... Where is the outrage from this board? I thought for sure this treatment would be the event that caused all of those on the fence on Rand to jump into this head first!!!

Why is the forum not on fire? Well it is busier tonight than it has been for a long time. I've seen a bunch of old accounts posting during the debate.

But if you're asking why the forum day to day is not as busy...
For a couple of years a choice was made that Rand should not act like his father and that he should try to get more mainstream supporters. I don't think anyone can debate that this is what happened. It was talked about ad nauseam.

So we get this debate. He acted more like his father tonight than he has recently. But a lot of people have tuned out Rand because of political choices made that I explained above.

What, you expected Rand to be treated differently by Fox News than Ron was?

 

[Jeffersonian2012]

I agree with the OP. How the hell can you not be fired up after Rand's brush up with Christie? How can you not be fired up about the comments against him and how every single time Megyn brought him up she got shut down immediately? Get fired up and then donate to his campaign because we are going to have to do a hell of a lot more work than we may have initially thought 4 months ago.

Sure this spat was the best of the night, but one question in an HOUR AND 20 minutes?

I know they did it to Ron but Rand has lead the polls at certain points and is in a much better position than Ron was yet they still did it? Rand did absolutely phenominal given the number and types of questions. If anything even to those thats fuses are all used up we still need to hurt up fux news and spread this around the net to where maybe some younger folks can pick this up and run with it! Come on guys remember "let it not be said I did nothing!"

Rand was more confrontational than I expected. It worked well I thought with Christie, but less so with Trump. I though his Israel answer was muddled. And I still think this "different kind of Republican" rhetoric is a complete disaster that couldn't be more violently opposed to the current atmosphere of the electorate. Voters are pissed about Republicans being backstabbing pussies that bend over every chance they get for the Dems. If Rand's "different kind of republican" was one that fights for you rather than the leadership or the elites, I think that would be a winning message. But he makes it seem like he's the Republican who is going to fight for Detroit and Fergueson which whether he intends it this way or not, signals to conservative voters that he's on the side that is selling everyone out.
