I kinda like this line:


NJ Have you mapped out the subcommittee’s agenda? How much interest are you getting from members?
PAUL It’s a subcommittee that nobody ever wanted in the past, and now that I have it, everybody’s fascinated. Two freshmen called me, and they want to get on the subcommittee. We will have plenty of hearings to go over transparency of the Fed. To me, that is the big issue.

Even better is that there are two freshmen who want to take shots at the Fed:

NJ Why are those in the financial sector concerned about you taking the gavel?

PAUL It’s because they are addicted. I have been in medicine for a long time, and I know what it is for people to have withdrawal symptoms who have been addicted to drugs or alcohol. So if you are addicted to big spending, and Big Government, and protective types of regulation such as the lender of last resort that will always come to your rescue—if you turn that off and face bankruptcy? No, they don’t want that. They want to dump the bad assets on the people. That’s what happened before. The big guys got the bailout and the little people lost their houses.

This is gonna be great, Ron can run for prez while grilling the banksters at the same time. They will give added cred and compliment each other nicely. Then we'll be in the streets canvassing, raising money, storming online comment sections and blowing out (online) polls. This is the calm before the storm and I'm thoroughly excited about what the future holds. I almost forgot that Rand is in the Senate now.

I think that's a safe bet. Wonder who the second is?

Tim Huelskamp [KS-1] was endorsed by Ron Paul in the primary. Chip Cravaack [MN-8] was a Republican Liberty Caucus guy. Mick Mulvaney [SC-5] is also supposedly on our side of a lot of issues. David McKinley [WV-1] campaigned on a platform of Term Limits, Balanced Budget Amendment, Read the Bills Act, and restoring the 10th Amendment.

Those are the 4 that I would suspect are most probable.
