Discussion: Bloomberg: Rand Paul 'Will Almost Certainly Fail To Qualify' For Main Debate Stage

Discussion for article #243693

He shares at least one attribute with Ben Carson: neither one of these knuckleheads ever had the remotest chance of getting the GOP nomination. Both have existed in ideological bubbles full of sycophants for most of their adult lives, so that might account for their absurd belief in their chances.

That, or they realized the grifting was just too damn good to pass up.

Eh…the way I see it is that he’s been riding on the volume of his supporters voices, not on his actual volume of supporters for the most part anyway. Once he and Carly are out the cuts might start to get interesting.

One very big difference is that Carson didn’t drop half a million dollars in his home state in order to fund a caucus so that he can run for both president and senator.

CNN is banning poodle-heads. How is that constitutional? Libertarians have special special-ness … just ask Ayn Rand!

And he learned the grift from the best - namely, his old man who’s doing tv commercials for something, I can’t remember what. But it has something to do with how I should send him money NOW because something, something, Gold Standard, send money today to protect yourself from something, the Fed.

Sincere question … did Rand ever pony up the dollars for the caucus?

You paste pubes on your head to draw attention away from it?

Yes. They pretty much forced him. He had promised it, but the check didn’t arrive so they started making noise about calling the whole thing off. Paul promptly delivered the check and basically left it open to belly up even more if need be.

Nos vemos entonces…

Is it too late for special snowflake Rand to form his own board which could then certify him as ‘qualified’?

If so…he will just go home and choke and pluck his chicken.

That TIME cover perfectly captures the utter vapidity of its editorial board.
