    There are a ton of people commenting on this one, and some of the comments are look a bit promising (though there's plenty of stupidity to boot, of course). I think this is going to help Rand, and hopefully enough to keep him on the main debate stage.

    Just about all the political comment sections are looking like this right now. All out war between leftys, freepers and trumpeters (AKA whitewingers).

    I do sympathize with some of the Trump supporters sentiments on demographics (I think Trump is an absolute liar so I take everything he says on the subject with a massive grain of salt), but they've gotten a bit ridiculous of late. A lot of this is a credit to the obnoxiousness of Obama's racial politics, which has largely created a wedge between white and non-white groups that makes rational discourse all but impossible. Trump is capitalizing on peoples' anger on a very real problem, and sadly most are too blind to catch onto it. Then again, I was never terribly impressed with the Free Republic crowd, they've been in full retard mode ever since Ron Paul's 2008 campaign.

    It's not anger they're capitalizing on, it's hate.

    One is form, the other is function. Furthermore, hate is occasionally justified, depending on the nature of the subject.

    That's what my Twitter feed looks like most of the time.

    Doug Stafford seems to be coordinating the campaign into having some leverage with CNN one way or the other. If Rand doesn't make the poll numbers required using this as evidence of a contrived effort to keep him out. If he does then using this as leverage to get more time. Brilliant!
    Here's the quote: ” Doug Stafford said in a statement. “This email revelation should give Republicans pause as to their coverage and possibility of fair treatment towards Sen. Paul during the next debate. All eyes will be on CNN’s response to their employee colluding with Hillary Clinton in order to attack a prominent U.S. senator on their dime."

    Yes, Rand's campaign should be doing this. CNN is going to look very very bad if Rand is not included on the main stage.
