Discussion: Rand Paul To Run For Senate Re-Election In 2016

Discussion for article #230707

“essential in the U.S. Senate.”

Without the Jr. Senator the nation’s most exclusive appendix would just be a useless pouch between legislative intestines instead of a handy source of often cribbed but still pointless quotes and soundbites…

The biggest takeaway I get from that announcement is that he is freezing out other potential candidates from entering the Senate race,while keeping his options open for a POTUS run.

I’ve always suspected that even Rand realizes that he is simply not electable at the presidential level. This suggests to me that he knows he should try to hold on to his day job.

Hey, if you can get around a law, get around it. They’re really just suggestions, aren’t they? Oh, and “I’m a Republican so they don’t really apply to me, anyway…” And the President is lawless…go figure.

Rand is far too arrogant to believe he is unelectable. He may recognize that 2016 is too soon, and that losing his spotlight in the Senate is counterproductive in the long run, but he surely believes he will be President one day.

FIFY.

Rand wants that government job and pension so badly, he’s willing to flout state law to go after it.

being he just barely has enough brain juice to, not that it takes much, to be a senator from kentuckeee. He better get his skull refilled with gop koolaid before he tries the pres thing. Plus feeding the rug koolaid will make it stand up taller. Hence, not so short of an egomaniac. notice he never stands right next to the turtle unless there is a 16 inch box involved. lol
But go for breaking laws and running for pres randy, The world awaits your presence. lol lol
