I know he’s not bombastic enough but he’s the person that most represents my views in DC. He’s the right mix of conservative with libertarian bend.

I early voted for him in 2016 then he dropped out before the day of the actual primary so it was kinda worthless.

Cruz is close but he comes off slimy even if I agree with him 99% of the time. I don’t think I want him as President.

Rand is more powerful in the Senate and won’t win the election. It’s down to two for the nominee: Trump and DeSantis. No one else should even bother trying.

Rand is my pick. He actually has appeal with younger people and Bernie type people for reasons I don't know but he does. He comes off as the most sincere person in all in Congress. Sticks to his principles.


Don’t get me wrong, I’d like for Rand to be President and is the person in government most closely aligned with my principles, but I don’t think he’ll win the primary against either Trump or DeSantis. Stay in the Senate where he’s been kicking arse and tearing into Fauci and Blinken like a rabid dog.

You have to be a genuinely stupid person to believe this.

He would make a fantastic VP candidate to President DeSantis

Who gives a frick about what he wants, With that concession, there's absolutely no reason to even have an election, your just choosing from spoiled goods. Be just as well to concede.

I like rand but i think someone like desantis that had the skins on the wall as a governer is the best bet. Id love rand to be vp. Unlike kamala, rand is a guy that you can put on a project like the border and he can get it done.

Rand Paul would be fine if the country weren't in dire crisis, but only a fighter like DeSantis or Trump can even give us a chance to get it together. It's still probably far too gone, but Paul would get steamrolled

I can't imagine white working-class voters turning up for anyone but Trump. Like it or not, they loved the guy. Manufacturing towns in the Midwest aren't going to vote for Rand to the extent they did for Trump.

Rand just isn't going to make white working-class voters and low-propensity voters turn up. So you'd get none of the benefits of Trump and most of the disadvantages. It's the same with DeSantis - Trump is pretty much the strongest candidate for the Republicans (except if there was a Trump who didn't tweet like crazy and knew when to shut up).

Rand Paul is great if your goal is to beat Democrats. That's not what Republicans want though. What republicans demand now is to beat each other and to keep losing so they can continue the epic losing streak and victimhood.

You put Rand Paul up there and he shreds modern fake progressives to pieces and attracts not only moderates but red pilled liberals who are sick of the woke police come over to him as well because they'd rather compromise on fiscal policy than be told what to think.

Nah. Can't have that.

I love Rand.
But, he's too fricking nice.
He's a white Ben Carson.

DeSantis stood up to federal scum.
He opened Florida.
Without him, we'd still be dealing with restrictions.

Trump should play kingmaker.
DeSantis is the future.
Doesn't, change fact that Rand is great.
