Dana Bash is a hardcore leftist and Rand and Ron hater. Why would he even agree to do this?

[Inkblots]

One more Sunday show, and Rand will have executed the legendary "Full Ginsberg".

Of course, if he does go on Fox News Sunday, he'll just spend ten minutes trying to explain that he doesn't hate women, and then Dana Perino will come on after to say he's unpresidential, unlike that totally dreamy Jeb Bush :rolleyes:

[mit26chell]

Sounds like a horrible decision to be going on this show while his campaign is just getting off the ground.

Who's idea was this???

She grilled Ron over the newsletter stuff in a very nasty way if I remember correctly?

[adelina]

He has to stay in the news cycle, especially on Sunday (Hillary announcing and then Rubio the next day). Getting criticized by a hardcore leftist is not exactly a bad thing, coming from a conservative point of view. I just hope he stood his ground, that's all he needs to do.

Rand Paul upcoming guest on CNN

Here we go again.

[Vanguard101]

I have a feeling Rand will get really mad eventually and defend his father

[JK/SEA]

i predict an EPIC interview.

[specsaregood]

Because part of trying to appeal to non-traditional GOP voters is going on media platforms other than foxnews? Let the other guys stick to the safe harbor of foxnews and preach to their dwindling numbers.

Besides; would you really want to support a guy that's too scared to talk to people with different beliefs and agendas?

Idk, Dana brought up the subject earlier in the week about Rand outpolling Hillary in PA during The Five show the day he announced, and it was in defense of the lefty talking shit iirc.

[01000110]

Rand interview coming up.

[01000110]

I think Rand did flat out awesome in this interview.

Thank you! Any idea why it cut off at the end when discussing gay marriage/contracts? Can anyone sum up what he said at the end? I am very interested in his position on this.

Somebody is stuck in the past and thought they can only upload 10 minutes maybe?

Strange though especially since that was uploaded under the official Rand Paul channel.

[RonPaulGeorge&Ringo]

They didn't replay this during the 12noon ET version of the show, which is usually just a replay of the 9am show. I've had CNN on for 75 minutes now and they've played the same interviews with Sens. Boxer and Graham twice, but nothing from Sen. Paul.

That's weird, isn't it?

He stated that there is room for traditional marriage and gay marriage contracts that convey all the same benefits of traditional marriage.

[RonPaulGeorge&Ringo]

They finally replayed it around 130pm ET


That's weird, isn't it?

Here's the section on gay marriage that is cut off in the tube:

Interesting how he is saying he is "for" traditional marriage *and* equality under the law for gay couples. I'm not sure if he is going to be able to get away with that.

[Xenliad]

I thought the interview went well.

[libertyplz]

Not sure where to put this, but just saw a segment on CNN about Hillary (just a small segment) but it got onto the subject of interactions with media and one of the guys defended Rand saying it is ridiculous for the media to paint Rand as always being testy with interviewers and that somehow he is the only one with that sort of "issue". He mentioned that Rand is always being prodded so it's unfair of the media to characterize him as that, and brought up times Hillary has been very short with the media and saying if they are going to go after Rand they should do the same to Hillary (general gist).

Thats some horrible video.. Lies and misconstruing things. Good thing nobody watches CNN.

[milgram]

Yeah I posted it before watching the whole thing ... it's a waste of time unless you're a completist for all discussions of Rand on cable news.

[devil21]

That 3am phone call line was great. Even Bash had to smile at how good that was. Use that line more Rand!

Here's the whole gay marriage question.

[RonPaul4Prez2012]

that was a great interview

[JohnGalt1225]

Good interview. He has his anti-Hillary talking points dialed in. There were some serious body blows. I also think he handled the question about his "testiness" with females quite well.

On the foreign policy question he did well but I wish he would come out and say that his non-interventionist foreign policy is the historical conservative and Republican foreign policy. Foreign adventures abroad has historically been a liberal idea. The neocons are just liberals who became Republicans during the Cold War.

[MrGoose]

Rand did well. Great interview. The gay marriage question was answered pretty well also.

[JohnGalt1225]

Rand did well. Great interview. The gay marriage question was answered pretty well also.
He will have to constantly to hammer away his point on that though because many people associate being against gay marriage personally with wanting to ban it. I understand his point but not everyone does.

[anaconda]

Dana conveniently omitted the Pennsylvania polling at the beginning of the segment.

Oh, and this blast from the past...

Great interview. Dana was professional.

I agree. I'm not sure why he doesn't refute the assertion that supporting intervention overseas is a "right wing position." As you said, historically non intervention has been the conservative position.

[anaconda]

I'm very pleased that he made the correct statement that he was never angry or raised his voice in these interviews. And I'm glad he mentioned the Eliot Spitzer interview. And that it would be sexist to pull punches in a debate with Hillary.

[georgiaboy]

I agree. I'm not sure why he doesn't refute the assertion that supporting intervention overseas is a "right wing position." As you said, historically non intervention has been the conservative position.

Because that line of reasoning didn't play well for Ron and made him into too much of an idealogue. Rand's not that way. Notice the nuanced way he really doesn't try to label or get too philosophical. He's much more about policy that moves the right way and really only wants to talk about that, both for himself and his opponents.

I don't think it's a winning strategy to try and out 'conservative' or 'to the left of Obama' each other. Those are silly topics to worry about anyway. Rand likes to point to the Iowa poll that splits the GOP down the middle with more and less intervention, with him representing the 'less intervention' side. Whether or not it is left, right, or center is kind of beside the point.

It's not a matter of which position is more conservative, but which position makes the most sense. He's not going to say that intervention is always wrong or always right. He's balancing the continuum from a position of strong national defense, as a strong thoughtful leader careful about spending America's treasure and soldiers' lives.

I like it; it's refreshing.

To the OP - thanks! I was worried about how this interview might go; silly me - this is Rand we're talking about!!

[RonPaul4Prez2012]

I agree and I don't believe that Rand flip flopped on anything. There's a lot of grey area on a matter of complex issues. There is not always a yes or no answer to the question. His opinions have changed but so have the situations.

I can't stand these hacks like list Adam Kokesh who don't see the brilliance in his strategy and and dont realize that you cant always satisfy everybody.

[CPUd]

She could not get him to say anything good about Hillary. He knew if he did, that clip would be in an attack ad by the end of the day.

[devil21]

Speaking of the 3am line. That spot can be soooo co-opted. Can I suggest a commercial?

Start with the same style intro but shorter, then cut to a shot of "Hillary" laying in bed, 3am on the alarm clock. The phone next to the clock rings. Then have a Bill voice-alike saying "Hill, wake up. It's 3am. Phone is ringing." "She" grunts something about Benghazi and rolls away from the phone. The phone keeps ringing through the rest of the ad. Throw a snore in there.

Fuckin genius.

How about she says "What difference does it make?"

:cool:

[r3volution 3.0]

Superb performance.

Highlights (paraphrasing)

Dana: "So you're to the left of Obama on foreign policy, right, right?"
Rand: "Well, the neocons in my party have the same recklessly aggressive foreign policy as the president, so....where do they fit on your spectrum?"

Dana: "So you flip-flopped on military spending, right, right?"
Rand: "No, I've never been dead-set against more military spending, but I do actually care about balancing the budget...unlike a certain Floridian Senator."

I lost some respect for Adam recently. Though he is becoming more of a "sovereign citizen"/An-Cap than a libertarian.
