How have their stocks faired in recent months and how do you see them fairing in the future?

Rand IMO. Ted's appeal has a much lower ceiling.

Rand. No question. He has a much better even keeled temperament than Ted.

I'd say Ted. Rand seems kookier than Ted and when Trump is done, the establishment will long for a guy like him.

I have no preference, but based solely off what went down in 2016, Ted.

Rand has no charisma. Love his ideas, but I don't think he has what it takes to win a national election.

It should be Ted but it's not likely to fare well for him on the national stage.

Rand, and I say that taking nothing into consideration other than optics. Ted has the face of someone I wouldn't trust alone with my daughters. Very smarmy and creepy, a schemer's face. Rand doesn't give me that feeling. Rand may have a bat-shite crazy side, but at least he doesn't look like he's bat shite crazy.

Unfortunately, optics go way, way too far in today's electorate.

Rand has a higher ceiling, but a lower floor. The inverse is true for Cruz. Hopefully, they will unite and work together to improve upon the Trump legacy by following it with a more libertarian, constitutionalist version of conservative governance.

Ted bc he's 100 times smarter. If he can lose the used car salesman speaking approach, he could kick some serious arse.

Ted has an infinitely greater chance to succeed than Rand.

Ted is all in with the establishment agenda. Rand is only flirting with it to see where it gets him.

Ted became a very good politician during the 2016 race - he cannot win a national election however

You must of missed the election where he came in 2nd and Rand was abandoned in Iowa? I love Rand and don't like Ted but Ted has a natural base in the party.

Very good question.

I like both, and I think both have acquitted themselves well since the election. Both have been generally supportive of Trump, but both have voiced their honest differences on occasion. Exactly as it should be.

Rand Paul would probably one day be President in an America that was even better & brighter than it is, but politicians have to deal with reality. For Paul, the reality (imo) is two-fold: (1) He has to find a way to project more of his personality as a campaigner, and (2) he needs to understand that, for better or worse, soundbytes dominate media coverage.

Unless Paul can figure out a way to become a more effective campaigner, I doubt he'll ever be President.

I think Ted Cruz lost all credibility when he bent the knee to a man who insulted his wife.

He is less than a man and always will be.
