unfortunately, no. he would remain in the senate, as a meaningless backbencher.
My guess is yes, but in 2020, not 2016. And this threat is probably well known through the back channels and smoke filled rooms. i.e if the establishment wants to give up 15% of the general election vote in 2020, make Rand's day.

No. Why do people even ask this question?
with Ron it was a more fair, if annoying, question.
he ran third party before and endorsed third party in 2008.
in the beginning of the 2012 he wouldn't answer clearly if he intended to run third party if he lost the nomination, he answered in a way that left the door open a little.
so, as annoying as it was, it should have been expected.
if rand gets the question I expect him to shoot the idea down immediately.
Certainly not. If Ron Paul didn't, there's no chance Rand will.

not now of course, but it would be much different if there is a GOP president. of course, if the Dems somehow win, Rand would be a senate leader. I would not be surprised if a GOP president offered Rand a cabinet position to keep him in line. it happened to Jack Kemp.
I think that if Jeb loses the nomination he will run independent. To me that's what he meant when he said sometimes you gotta lose the primaries to win the presidency. I think Rand will be the nominee, but i think they are going to marginalize the whole republican nomination process as some sort of side show, so their more "evolved" wall street candidate runs against Hillary. Rand needs to prepare for a three way battle, unless the establishment gives in which they wont.

LOL no Hillary has backing of the House of Saud, I would show you the emails but they are probably deleted. Bush crashing the economy or even coming out and saying that his dad and his brother are dicks is not going to cause 60% of republicans to change their mind about him. The GOP has no chance of winning with any ticket that doesn't have power to win in the purple states.
...And they will get the same minuscule percentage of the vote that Greens and Libertarians get. There are only two courses of action for the political dissident; taking control of one of the two major parties and hoping the tide of "progress" and social decay can be held back for another generation or two, or hastening the collapse and rebuilding afterward. Neither are very optimistic prescriptions, but that's all there is.
Social liberalism is not the same as social libertarianism. Those who believe in decentralized power, market economics and organic communitarianism will never be socially liberal, because the force of progressivism stands in stark opposition to all the values listed above. Any egalitarian ethic requires top-down control and rigid, federal formalization of society.
