Rand Paul facing more intense criticism from right and left — which he says is

[Saint Milei]

A sign of success

EDMONTON — After responding to an audience question about Medicare reform and calling for "tough love," Rand Paul laughed at the suggestion that he better "be ready to duck."

Heeding a recent lesson from another potential 2016 presidential contender — former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — Paul gripped the sides of the podium and moved his head and shoulders from side to side. "You notice I'm pretty agile," Paul said to laughs. "I'm looking for shoes."

While Clinton quite literally dodged a shoe thrown at her earlier this month, Paul has in recent weeks seen a metaphorical Payless showroom thrown at him as critics to his right and left step up their attacks, both putting Paul in the hot seat and erasing any remaining doubt about whether Kentucky's junior senator is a serious candidate for 2016.

Fortunately, most of his fans won't be able to vote in 2016.

As the forum's resident "Paultard Democrat" I'll be able to vote in 2016

As will pretty much anyone on the forum now, save the 13 and 14-year-olds.

Oh good, more news about Rand Paul. Just lovely.

Question - how is this a 'general election poll'?

Unfortunately, this country has no laws restricting neo-Confederates from voting in elections, so until such laws are passed, most of his fans will be able to vote in 2016.

That's a bit over the top, isn't it? I mean, I don't like Slenderand myself, but c'mon, Neo Confederates? Really?

Fair enough. Some of his supporters are just plain old white supremacists.

I'm sorry, but I wanted to slightly anger my dear Chairmansanchez .

Sjoyce, I'm sure you won't vote for him. You're slightly improving. Firstly, you don't support Ted Cruz anymore (a big LOL you have supported him). Maybe you will finally realize Paul is far from being a "libertarian left leaning" like you.


And please Lief, I can't stop laughing .

Yes and the problem is that in Florida, white supremacists can kill black without any problem (Stand your ground). So Florida flipping is definitely a possibility with Rand Paul, because a such character would attract a lot of Paulstards, who would go to vote.

Pretty sure Sanchez is a year older than I am.

Depends on who the Dems put up and how the climate is. I'll also be in college then, so where I go could influence how I vote as well - if I get into somewhere like GW or American then I'll vote for whoever (probably third party), since it's DC. Different calculations if I stay in-state.

Yes, though your about twenty years ahead of me in maturity and intelligence.

I have hopes you will finally vote for someone who has the same ideology than you.
