Republicans admitted that Rand Paul are one of top two most likely candidates for 2016 Presidential run. How embarrassing is that? Aren't Republicans well aware that with Rand Paul as their front runner are primed to guarantee that he won't be resident in the White House? Only tea party and handful of few true conservative voters would vote for him but it won't be enough for 270 electoral votes, not even that close. He is very deeply unpopular in blue states and few red states. Florida, Texas, and North Carolina are already almost guaranteed to go blue. Rand Paul? Republicans, really?

They voted in Ted Cruz as Senator

Frankly the repubs could run a dead weasel (not a lot different that Paul) and it would get 10 states and 45% of the vote. The R's have a very brainwashed base who will vote for the R, no matter what.

They are banking on voter suppression as well as Citizen's United and other misinformation issues . .

Rand Paul will kill a kitten, a puppy and shut down the government. Even though all 3 are not a good idea.

Republicans are threatening to shutdown the United States government over a law that was passed. The Affordable Care Act is Law. Shut down the government over a law is treason and these plutocrats need to be jailed. This is not governance, it's terrorism.

I know several people who vote Republican who would be better candidates for U.S. President. What's the deal? Last election's GOP lineup was a complete joke. And look who they finally chose.
