Anyone who thinks Trump supporters are bad, boy I can't wait till you meet a Cruz supporter............and I thought Trumpsters were bad, those Cruz-Maniacs are atrocious for their dire love to Count Chocula.

Thanks.

Just voted in the poll and posted several responses via comments. Hopefully they'll actually get approved. Looks like they're about tied as of now.

For the record, I can't stand Cruz. To quote a Facebook friend who expresses my own thoughts: "He may be a fine person outside of public life, but he's the most phony looking and sounding politician I've ever seen. Even speaking off the cuff or answering free form questions, his head movements, speaking meter and facial expressions all seem completely rehearsed and insincere, like a cartoon robot. He's a living caricature of the pretentious, verbose politician (think John Carradine in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance)."

Rand's support for Mitch was a big reason why he lost so much support. Ron's base was mostly anti establishment rather than libertarian, and Rand lost the anti establishment vote to Cruz, Trump, and others after he endorsed McConnell. I understand why he did it, but it cost him support.

[satchelmcqueen]

wow

[cjm]

We get it; you support Cruz?

No one was challenging McConnell when Rand endorsed him.

I doubt most repubulicans care about the mitch mcconnel endorsement.

They are concerned about securing the border and fighting political correctness. The right to hate is the speech that is most under threat.

I think rand fooked himself when he chimed in on the southern battle flag, supported felons rights during the baltimore riots, and basically looked like he was pandering. It also appears rand was going for the amnesty route too (even though trump will just let them back in after building a wall).

I am wondering how he is polling in kentucky right now for the gop nomination.

Anyone else find it interesting that in this election cycle, there is 0 talks about abortion while it came up at every debate in 2012?

They can't, since the RWNJ shot up the clinic last month after Carly gassed him up.

[Tinnuhana]

Voted. Rand still up 51% to 46%.

Absolutely. It was a terrible mistake.

Cruz has always been out to undermine Rand and Rand2016, for years now.

It's a damn shame the Paul/Liberty movement operation pussed out on challenging Panama McCain's eligibility in 2007 and having made that bed will continue to refuse to sink Canada Ted with it now.

Cruz is a slimebag and as soon as Rand moves up to the 7 point range in state polls, I expect the liberty supporters who back Cruz will flock to Rand like flies to a bug zapper.

[eleganz]

Cruz doesn't have Rand's support, he has a faction that Rand needs, they all feed from the same tea party/constitution groups but the only faction that really belongs to Rand is the libertarians conservative, which an argument could be made that Cruz is struggling to penetrate.

[nobody's_hero]

I support Rand but I think the benefits of having McConnell's ear have been oversold. The Senate leader practically NEVER sides with Rand if the choice is between something Rand wants versus what the establishment wants.

OMG, I love that name... Count Chocula !!! . Seems just like him. In-fact, it is easy to imagine him dressed as Dracula.

It's unlikely Paul would have even been able to run for POTUS without that endorsement.

plus getting Bevin elected Governor.
