1. Rand Paul will NOT be nominated by the Republican Party primary voters in 2016. He will fold under the hatchet job he will receive from Republican money bigwigs in 2015-16. He has virtually no shot.
2. Unless there is some fundamental change in the political landscape of the US between now and 2016, Hillary Clinton will win the Presidency.

They won't have a choice with him. They can try the hatchet job but they risk alienating a shite ton of voting blocs needed to win congress like independents, a base full of real conservatives, and disillusioned democrats that want a viable republican. They're not goung to risk all that and get a shite ton of bad press and publicity just to bump a guy out of the party. People hate the GOP establishment enough as it is and they're walking on thin ice as it is and when the first viable republican in a long time comes on the scene, people are going to be watching the establishment's response to him. The response will determine their immediate and long term future.

You mean the likely bloodbath of democrats in the midterms and the GOP retaking the senate and Obama being a terrible and ineffective lame duck in the next two years? That change in the political landscape?

It's Rand or 3rd party for me.
I'm not contributing to the two party welfare that's tearing this country apart by voting for liberals like McCain, Romney or Dole which is what Jeb, Christie, Huckabee, and Santorum are.
Ted Cruz is a state wide politician, unelectable on the national level.

long term perspective
Either the GOP can get with the times by actually being fiscally conservative, reach out to a minority voting bloc that wants to vote for them but is turned off by rhetoric and action, and leave the social issues alone.

Rand has a lot of momentum. He does a good job of staying in the MSM spotlight and in a positive way.
If there is anything I've seen about Rand, it's that he won't fold and that he already knows what is coming to him from the establishment....what he is doing right now is crossing his Ts and dotting the I's in preparation. He is very smart and has a lot of foresight...he just always seems one step ahead of the opposition and prepared for whatever they throw at him. Reminds me of Reagan in that he can deflect so well and make things a "non issue".

One of the poll’s significant findings was that 29 percent of the African-Americans surveyed said they would back the tea-party senator.
I would have to see a second poll show that Republican candidate can so greatly buck a trend over the last 4-5 elections before I give this one any credit.

Rand or go home is the cry.
For better or worst he is the face of the new Republican Party. Whoever wins is going to need his supporters.

See this "article" is an example of why you righties are so off base. You complain about the MSM and you read this BS that feeds you what you want to hear. Then you get pissed when you lose because it's unexpected.
First off, the 27% of black voters he's polling is in his own state. second, 27% of very little is very little. Kentucky has less than 8% black voters. Third, the fact that he is polling 12 points below Mitt Romney in his own home state and mitt didn't get near the black vote Paul is supposedly getting, means he's actually getting less white vote than it appears. IOW if his 44% is being aided by 27% of black voters and Mitt got 60% with little black support! Paul is doing really bad in Kentucky, his home state, with white voters. bullshite.
Paul's numbers should be higher with his home state white voters and less with black voters.

Vegas Bengal
1) Rand is not getting 30% support from blacks in the state.
2) No way in hell Clinton is doing that well in a state where the current democratic president has a disapproval rating of 66%.

Why is "article" in quotes? Is it untruthful?

More problems with this poll:
So Paul is winning with men by 17 points, Hillary leads with women by 8 and Paul's overall lead is 4 points? A whole lot of women in Kentucky.
I checked the internals. 6% of people polled were black. That means, given the number of people they polled, 88 were black.
15% of conservatives favor Clinton. 6% of liberals favor Paul. 13% Reps favor Clinton, 19% of Dems favor Paul.

Paul's lead over Clinton appears to be partially a function of gender at this point, with Paul winning 55 percent of men to Clinton's 38 percent and Clinton winning women 50 percent to 42 percent. Read more here: LINK

Because it's basically a right wing blog and not a legit article. And it doesn't have to be untruthful. It's Spin. If you're reading spin without filtering the source, you're getting a misleading impression.
Hail is right, to believe this poll is accurate is bad for Paul. I find it hard to believe 20% or so of black voters switched from Obama to Paul and I think it's ridiculous to believe so many Romney voters are not supporting Paul in his own home state.
The writer was apparently so excited to trumpet that 29% of blacks polled (and they polled 88), that there was a failure to look at the internals and inconsistencies, which actually hurts Paul and favors Clinton.
Can't wait until they come to Louisiana and we see the huge percentage of Nola voters favor Jindal whereas the Romney voters switch to Hillary.

The first thing you need to do is GO MEET AND GREET different demographic groups instead of only white middle class. Break out of your comfort zone. Stop the pandering amnesty votes and the like thinking that it will win you votes. You actually have to go meet people, shake hands, kiss babies, converse and understand the various issues. Teach different groups how your ideas will solve their issues. Get some f'n feet on the ground and go meet people. This is how you build credibility and most of all trust.
