It's amazing that you can go around calling someone who had stated they didn't support the provisions in the CRA related to private businesses a "cuck".
You must be ignoring the times he urged the republican party to change its color to be more like the democrats and the future of America. If that is not pandering or "cuckold" behavior I don't know what is.
Maybe if you were able to elevate your thought processes a little bit you could see what Rand was trying to accomplish
Yeah, he is trying to be politically correct and kill my race because it doesn't matter to him. He doesn't support the CRA for racist reasons...
and how it was in your best interest. But you are so obsessed with race baiting, you're as bad as some of the SJWs.
How am I being a race baiter?
Now his strategy may not have worked well in part because a huge backlash occurred against the SJW movement right around the time he was making some of his arguments about criminal justice reform and Trump ended up riding that wave, but that doesn't make Rand a bad guy
Which is what I wrote in my original post.
and it doesn't make Trump any better.
Doesn't it make Trump smarter?
But the whole point of Rand's strategy was to get more independent votes and win the election so he could give us more liberty.
But by trying to pander to non-white voters he was ignoring white voters. You know the word for that?
Secondly I disagree with his strategy because its out of touch. Instead of pandering to Americans who are fed up with the system and aggrieved by it he is pandering to non-whites who hate our ideas. Since when have minorities supported Dr. Ron Paul? I have been to a few Ron Paul rallies and libertarian events and they are as white as snow. Rand is ignoring his own supporters. Rand is behaving just like the neocons who have been trying to get non-whites to vote for them for decades to no success. What makes Rand Paul believe he is special and will succeed where everyone else has failed?
It doesn't matter what he said about criminal justice reform or how many African American events he attended, what matters is that we have liberty.
Yes, but we have different ways of achieving it. I think my way is much more realistic as proven by Donald Trump. I mean Rand Paul failed and failed badly. He needs to rethink his strategy. I don't know why you are following someone who failed to succeed. It seems to me you need a better leader.
Rand was making the arguments about criminal justice because he wants to end the war on drugs and this side issue of minorities being unfairly treated by police is a good way to start on that line of reasoning.
I don't have an issue with that. Even Donald Trump panders to minorities a little bit , but he doesn't overdo it and he represents white voters first.
It is a good way to bring people together and win elections.
I doubt that we can unify other races to support the same candidate. We have been trying that since the beginning of this country and it has never worked. Nobody has ever succeeded.
The fact is EVERYBODY is being treated unfairly by police when they get arrested for a drug crime. Now it's true that blacks and hispanics tend to commit more actual crimes as well, and if drugs were legalized we might find that minorities still end up being in large part the target of police activity. But AT LEAST it would be legitimate police activity and not harassment for drugs.
I'm for decriminalizing drugs.
The best thing for white people, or black people, or asians, or any group is liberty and freedom, including freedom of association.
Yes.
The Judeo-Christian values you like so much are heavily intertwined in liberty, so first of all you want a candidate who respects liberty.
Donald Trump will not let millions of democratic voters come into the country to dominate our elections.
That is the liberty to live with people whose values you prefer in order to be prosperous and continue to spread those values.
Exactly. Yet how is changing immigration laws to let in non-whites who are anti-liberty going to help our cause? I just don't think Rand is realistic and I do believe hes a bit naïve. Someone with such naïve thinking I don't think is suited to be POTUS or even a Senator. I think we'll be much better off supporting other more realistic libertarians.
Trump may pay lip service to the values you like, but he is still a bit of an authoritarian
Yes.
and doesn't have a whole lot of respect for freedom.
Do you have examples?
He may be a lot better than Hillary in a lot of ways, he may know how to get the attention of the media, increase his poll numbers and win an election, but that doesn't mean his policies are better for you than Rand's policies.
Rand complained that the reason that he lost the election was because he wasn't getting the millions of dollars of free media that Trump was getting. The reason Trump was getting free media is because he was really pissing off the establishment and fighting them. Rand Paul expects to agree and be like a docile slave to the media and get the same attention which is just stupid in a field of 16 candidates (not including the democratic candidates as well). I assure you if Rand Paul wasn't weak (I say this as my opinion) and he was as strong as Trump he would have gotten all the free media and publicity too.
