His son will have a much better chance at becoming President someday.....thankfully he has refused to go full retard as his father has and ride the crazy train.
That is because the other candidates don't even understand what he is saying. Do you want another dumbell as President or someone who is truly BRILLIANT for a change? Besides if the Media hadn't outright ignored him after it was OBVIOUS he was the best Republocan Candidate because they knew he couldn't be bought and paid for and expected to act like a puppet for the Corporations and Bilderberg group like Obama and McCain and the other candidates would they knew they had to act like he didn't exist. If they hadn't done that, things might have turned out a LOT better for this country because the Obama mania wouldn 't have been able to take hold NEARLY as easily. Smart people who appreciate things like honesty and a proven track record would have had a chance to realize he was the best Republcan candidate and he would have become the Republican candidate and might have even been elected. Too bad for us, things didn't turn out that way.

However now we have another chance.

Hubby just said he is not running: I don't know where he got his info. Maybe he heard it wrong.

OMG! Yet another individual who does not know that the "Hispanic" vote isn't monolithic.

For all intents and purposes, IN the "Hispanic" community, Rubio is a Cuban and it'll be a very cold day in hell before a significant amount of Mexican-Americans (let alone all the other "Hispanic" groups that the Miami Cubans have pissed off over the years) vote for Rubio.

It isn't going to happen.

I dunno.

GWB couldn't speak well and he got elected twice.

Dr. Paul knows exactly what America is comfortable with. He also knows he can't do anything without congressional approval.

Listening is learning.
Oh ok what percentage of the vote do you think he will get this time around? Perhaps Paul should listen to what the American people are telling him.......he would learn......not going to happen.

He's not electable, too old and he can't sell his own ideas.

The Dems would tear him apart in a general election. I don't mind the guy, I think he has some solid ideas and I like that he isn't afraid to ask the tough questions but he is better off staying out of the race and focusing on making a difference as a congressman.

If you have your ears open or don't NEED the government for something, his ideas are easily sold.
