Is a ticket with Rand Paul and Mitch Daniels a strong ticket? Can this ticket be competitive? Discuss

Rand Paul would not be competitive in a general election period.

i beg to differ with you--Rand Paul would be competitive in a general election. Mitch Daniels wouldn't be a bad choice for vp either.

Not with his voting record many of the bills he's proposed would be easy fodder for attack ads (Fetal Personhood Bill, National Right to Work Law etc.) he's also been proven to be thin skinned and unprepared for prime time remember the plagiarism scandal and how badly he reacted to that. Not to mention the whole Civil Rights Act mess that happened back in 2010 he'll have to deal with.

If neither Hilary nor Biden runs he has a chance, with what an establishment man on the ticket with him.

Rand Paul would be a risky nominee. Gaffes would be problematic to someone who can be depicted as crazy and inexperienced. But his unconventional views can make him an inspiring figure, a contrast to the old ideas represented by Hillary Clinton.

Daniels probably isn't the best running mate for Paul, and for the same reasons he turned down a chance at the nomination in 2012, he's unlikely to be on a national ticket in 2016.

But Daniels isn't the worst fit. The combination of newcomer and old pro has resulted in elections in the past (JFK/ LBJ, W/ Cheney, Obama/ Biden). He could be an effective surrogate in the Midwest. There's a good balance of experiences. And he's seen as a serious largely inoffensive voice on national issues.

Much too fringe to have a chance, IMO.

Paul/Daniels (D) vs. Generic D

I would maybe consider this ticket if it were flipped.
