The best thing about Rand Paul running for president is....

[Renew Deal]

watching him lose primary after primary just like his father. The republicans will never nominate him.

1. I don't know. I actually think the repubs could nominate him

and that would be the best thing about his running.

5. I am

Jeb, Christie, Rubio will be enough to suck up the next two election cycles

4. The good thing about the Paul idiots, their bumper stix give them away

I often laugh to the point just shy of tinkling when I see them in their 96 Ford Escort with Fair tax and Paul revolution stickers.

A Paul sticker = "I don't understand politics"
