Take a look at his "pollster."
Rand Paul And The Fringe Birther Media Have The Same Pollster
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has again dipped into the fringes of the conservative media for support. The Washington Post reported that Paul is building a national network to potentially support a 2016 presidential run, and is using Fritz Wenzel as his pollster.
Wenzel is a birther who has called President Obama an "imposter," and teamed up with conspiracy site WND to push dubious polling about the president's birth certificate. In addition to promoting conspiracy theories, Wenzel is also an objectively poor pollster. He has a long history of offering wild electoral predictions, prompting Slate reporter Dave Weigel to dub him the "pollster that's always wrong."
Wenzel's WND polling isn't limited to birtherism. WND articles about his polls carry headlines like, "AMERICANS WANT 'GAY' LESSONS BANISHED"; "POLL: SEEDS OF TYRANNY PRESENT IN AMERICA"; "ANSWER TO BENGHAZI OBFUSCATION? IMPEACHMENT"; and "POLL: PALIN WOULD STIR UP EVEN DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY" (a poll that claimed Palin would be competitive against Obama in a Democratic primary).

(40,367 posts)I can't fathom how anyone would vote for someone who always looks cold, angry and mean, though it obviously happens.
It's like voting for the class room bully, picking the meanest person you can find to be your leader. I know people make fun of his hair, but that's superfluous, it's the look in his eyes that is scary.
Oh yea, and then there's his voice, and the mean spirited things he says...
A wise person once said, mean people suck!
