[KingRobbStark]

Great interview! I wish Ron spoke like that

What the hell are you talking about? In my opinion Ron is a much better speaker.

I think it depends on what you mean by that statement.

Ron may be the more articulate speaker for libertarians, viewers of ronpaulforums.com, and those who have read the literature of the movement. Let's just say he doesn't mince words and says exactly what needs to be said, even if it goes above the head of your average person.

Rand is unequivocally the better speaker for mainstream America and for those who don't necessarily identify as a "libertarian"... hence why so many blowhard neo-cons and Bush Republicans LOVE Rand but hate Ron...it's really not even close tbh. The brilliance of Rand is how well he understands this and packages his message to reach more people...Rand's ability to "play politics" is also why he is the number 1 public enemy of progressives, while Ron isn't even on their radar.

Yup, I agree.

That makes sense. I guess it depends on the viewers background knowledge.

+1

Ron often goes over people's heads. Initially, I had to read up on some things before his quick rants made any sense to me.

Ron only converts people who are intellectually curious by nature

Rand is far more effective at reaching the soundbite crowd

[CUnknown]

She was very close to attacking him there, but then pulled back at the last moment. "except principle" Eventually, I think they are going to go back to Paul-bashing in these kinds of interviews. I wonder how long that will take.

"I can't vote for any plan that doesn't balance."

Mark it down:

• Has never voted for an unbalanced budget.

He'll be running on this for President one day.

Of course the vice versa is that Rand often goes over the heads of the "intellectually-curious" Ron fans; who can't manage to read between the lines.
