Rand Paul’s Winning Presidential Ticket Is All In The “Jeans”

Let’s be clear: Anyone who thinks Rand Paul can’t win the GOP nomination for President of the United States is foolish. He can. And if he wins, his “jeans” will be the reason. The jeans symbolize something that no other potential candidate for president possesses. Let’s explore.

You see, Rand Paul likes to wear jeans. While other politicians are wearing a suit and tie, Paul is different. At the recent CPAC event, all the other politicians went with the traditional look. Not Paul. Jeans were in order. Some conservative commentators were upset. Peggy Noonan remarked that, “it’s not unusual for a man to wear jeans with a tie and jacket. They look like happy farmers, or cable TV anchors whose desks don’t show their legs. That being said, could we not wear grown-up suits when we are running for high office?” But Noonan fails to grasp the deeper meaning.

Rand Paul’s choice of leg attire represents something. Whether the Senator from Kentucky knows it or not, it’s his calling card to say he’s unique, different and a trendsetter within the Republican Party. His libertarian, “genes” are represented in those blue jeans. What we are witnessing is a man who has no desire to use the same tired old GOP playbook that’s been trotted out for decades. He’s creating a new playbook and trying to create a new, younger, more diverse GOP voting constituency.

Damn.

Well, hey. If people are so shallow that it takes a few pairs of Levis to save our nation, at least we have an honest man to stuff in 'em.

Rand Paul for president... because denim.

Wow.

This is embarrassing.

After 7,543 threads about his hair this is kind of refreshing...

What'll it be next week?

Probably his toothpaste. I heard a rumor there's fluoride in it...

[KurtBoyer25L]

That's "in vain."

It would be quite something if Rand took an inaugural oath in the jeans. With Justice Roberts on the other side in his black robe.

I don't know, the article kinda has a good point. Not a lot of guys, especially super high office holders would wear a suit with jeans like Rand does. Its dorky but people like that.

Its actually a bit of a silicon valley thing. Tonnes of software CEO's would wear get-ups like that.

How about that hair. What do you think Tod? It needs to be more presidential. This silly article is in response to a silly woman named Peggy Noonan. I picked up a book written by her once, it was a biography of Reagan. It was proof to me that republicans are progressive socialist too. She certainly praised his socialist virtues, it was a real turn off. I didn't finish the book.

I don't give a $#@! one way or another...

However when I hear the status-quo crowd complaining I think it's a good thing....

I know you don't. I was trying to be funny, sometimes my humor fails.

[loveshiscountry]

Shallow? Sure. Just win baby.

I remember a similar article like this coming out after the filibuster when everyone on the right was 'standing with Rand'.
I'd say most of us realize that the majority of voters vote based on stupid criteria ... I know we all want that to change, and hopefully it is, but it will change slowly- not over night.

so - hopefully the jeans grabs up some votes.
And - hopefully the hair doesn't lose any votes.

I'm not being ridiculous or superficial, I'm only recognizing that most voters are.

First president to do an inaugural address in a shirt and jeans

[Unknownuser]

It's all in his jeans. Tehe. ; )

[jtap]

HAHA! I was going to say how if it were me I'd be wearing shorts as I am not a fan of pants. I was thinking about Angus Young being the model for my political getup were I to have to make the concession to wear "politician clothes". It sure helps foster the notion that he's more like one of us than most politicians.
