Why it was brilliant for Rand Paul to play nice with the establishment

[samforpaul]

The only "positive" thing that emerged from Rand's "playing nice" with the Establishment is Governor Matt Bevin.

Please clarify. I'm wondering if you're being serious or sarcastic.

That was luck, not intentional.

We want a floor fight.

If Rand runs through the convention with some chunk of committed delegates maybe a bulk from western States and
there are two others with enough delegates so no one over 50%,
then it is as good or better than an independent run, as the convention is about the GOP platform for November as well.

Plus it's very important to watch the sanders factor... If he fails early on and decides to go home, we could have potential to do very well in the open primary states (while at the same time focusing on our gotv efforts regardless)

Have you not figured it out?

Put down the crack pipe.

Pretending to be a neocon didn't work. Trump happened and Rand is low single digits.

Join us in the real world.

the establishment has put up Trump to suck the life out of everyone else ( mainly Rand) Trump is in it to spin it.

what they will do now is slowly diminish trump with bad stories and promote Bushie Ted Cruz, you heard me right, Ted Cruz is a Bushie, use to work for GW Bush, even wrote a love letter about him.

There will be no floor fight if there grassroots refuse to accept the cold hard reality that we all need to be putting in a reasonable amount of phone bank activism. Please see my sig.

If that's what you want to do, I have nothing bad to say about it.

But nationwide elections aren't won that way anymore. It's all bullshit now, viral comments and scandals with bimbos are what cause candidates to go up and down. Boobus doesn't care about a phone call to discuss issues.

I think everyone here is aware Cruz has history with the Bushes.

I don't really care. I'd vote for Bush or Cruz against the Clintons if it came to that. I could vote for any of the top tier candidates except for that asshole Trump.

If Trump wanted to beat Hillary, he would have run for the Democrat nomination.

Boom

Unfortunately, that meme has been proven false. I had wishful thinking to see if I could actually get a quote and then some fact checking popped my bubble.........

What nationwide election?

As mentioned above, this is a fake. However, I bet that's how Trump feels about the GOP base deep down.
