It is a rad idea. Terrific. Now that Congress has fixed America’s crumbling roads, bridges, rail service and infrastructure, what could be better than building a giant boondoggle that will cost billions if not trillions?

where he said he has heard from New Hampshire residents with concerns about the Canadian border.
Islamists are not interested in being in New Hampshire in the winter, so you guys are safe for 10 months of the year. You’re welcome.

Well, I hate to agree with Rand, but he is correct, and we all know it, that the current proposals for dealing with the immigration issues are outlandish and worthy of derision.
Too bad no one is listening to Rand. He’s shouting down a deep hole in the ground.
I’d like to know who these NH’ers are that are having a problem with Canadians.

Rand Paul: “Republican presidential candidates have gotten into this shouting match about who can build a bigger wall.”
Classic case of Freudian wall envy.
(Remarkably appealing to GOP voters angry about their own tiny, little stub walls.)

Ah, Rand is having one of his lucid moments. How nice.

I notice Rand did not reject the idea of a wall with Mexico, just Trump’s funding plan.

And I’ll have an electric fence…
Let me see, now… Who was it who came up with that dumb idea? Oh, yeah! It was… wait for it… Rand Paul.

One will require medical attention after erecting Trump’s wall because it will remain erect and phallic for well over four hours… and be HUGE too.

Yes. More are killed on Mt.Washington than by any un-gun-armed person coming here from Canada. Now going the other way is a different story.

Next someone will have to commit to a wall with Mexico, AND a wall with Canada, AND mining the length of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans along the coasts. And a dome! And killer robots!!! And ice cream before dinner!!! Yay!!!

Now we know why Huntsman declined to run this year. When Rand Paul is the closest to normal person in this field, and he polls just 2%, what chance does a guy like Huntsman have?

Rand is about as normal as Mr. Douglas’ cube shaped eggs.

This BS about a wall on the Canadian border is mostly just more racial dog whistling. People who’ve traveled to Canada in the last forty years–and that includes a lot of folks from a border state like New Hampshire–have realized that there are a lot of non-pasty complexioned people living there now, many from former British Commonwealth countries (read: Muslims).
Also don’t forget about the guy who was carrying explosives in his car with the intention of blowing up LAX and who was caught at the B.C./Washington border a few years ago. Hmm, he was caught–without a wall?

To be fair, it’s a hole he helped dig.
Oh no, I’ll put them in camps. Oh no, I’ll throw them out. Oh no, I’ll put everyone in jail.
Oh no, you’re my junior Senator. Oh no, you finally said something sensible. Oh no, you’ll probably walk it back in an hour.

Ayn Rand Paul feels he needs to prove he’s sane once in a while. This will be his downfall with the GOP Wing-nuttistan base.

I was surprised that the Canadians didn’t build a wall to keep out all the US draft dodgers during the Vietnam war. I guess it just shows that Canadians are basically nicer people than Americans of the US variety.

I guess Rand missed the fact that this idea was brought up in a town hall, by several people, including Law Enforcement people. Law Enforcement People! You have to take that seriously, as a legitimate issue, also too. Because they were Law Enforcement people, in a town hall meeting. So there, Rand, shows how dumb YOU are. Just shut up!

Unlike Scott Walker’s dead-eyed madness, Rand Paul’s pandering strategy involves an attempt to sound a reasonable note, followed by a hasty walk-back approximately 12 hours later. Checking my watch now…
