I think tonight is the night Rand said fuck it.
Im not going to keep trying to conform to the GOP.
Im going to speak my mind regardless if it conforms with the party.

Rand became Ron tonight .
His base will get energized and stronger but it will be more narrow

Because many voters understand that giving free reign to our enemies to do whatever the hell they want around the rest of the globe would be insanity.

is that his stance on foreign policy?

I agree. Before tonight, Rand was trying to appease the insane interventionists. Finally, he just said Fuck it. I think it's way too late, but hopefully he learned a lesson and will try again in 2020, and he'll likely have much military involvement to debate against Hillary.

Rand Paul;


I believe that one of the primary functions of the Federal Government is national security. As a Senator, one of the most important votes I could make is on a declaration of war. As Commander-in-Chief, the importance of this decision would not be overlooked. If the military action is justified and there is no other course of action, I would follow the Constitution and seek Congressional approval before sending our brave men and women into harm's way.
The Founding Fathers understood the seriousness of war and thus included in our Constitution a provision stating that only Congress can declare war. We must maintain this important check and balance and the decision to wage war should not be taken lightly.
I believe in Ronald Reagan’s “Peace through Strength.” I will continue to stand with Israel and our allies abroad, and I vow to explore all diplomatic options before sending our armed forces into battle. Finally, if and when we choose to fight, we will empower our military to fight to win.

Effectively, yes.

It's why he gets so annoyed when someone points out his isolationist policy.

Too much greed on Wall Street? Jesus, Kasich...please go far, far away already.

It was like he was caged up trying to conform to the GOP . It made him look weak and out of place .
I think he finally realized it was time to put all the chips on the table and see where it falls.

I understand why he did what he did.
He wanted to expand the base his dad started but finally learned you can't make everyone happy.

Carly is good. I don't agree with her on much, but she is good at this debate stuff.

Yes, she's very good at interrupting. Love her foreign policy 'no fly zones' where Russia flies along with
Mrs. Clinton, Bush & Rubio, what a stupid notion. Rand Paul won that tug-of-war with the warmongers by a mile.
I bet Rand Paul gets traction. Like I said before the likes of Fiorina,
Bush & Rubio denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism
and expose the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
It is rather frightening that those with pedestrian minds like the 3 'no fly zone' enthusiats
latched onto this eternal truth!

Doubtful. Guarantee the online polls will show Trump with another YUUUUUUUUUGE victory. He could crap his pants, take it out, show it to Maria, and it would still be a YUUUUUUUUUUUGE victory.

k. Do you think that's an exaggerated label? you think he'd be that hands off?
