This guy understands what America was supposed to be and wants to make it reality again

*no more intervening in other's wars
*balancing the budget
*auditing the fed
*allowing states to make their own local decisions
*knows the constitution up and down
*not a corporate-bought crony like the rest

He is somebody that Moderate Democrats, independents and republicans could all agree with

Why does he continue to be ignored? He's the best candidate in this race hands down

Like his father, he is not going to receive the nomination for me to vote on.. If he were the nominee, I would vote for him.

He is a great guy as is his father, but you can't pick your wars for starters. WE are missing a few tall buildings in New York for starters, Hawaii got bombed on a clear day. The world is a scary place, and now we have terrorist with nukes coming on the scene.... Go figure.


We are the biggest guy on the block, and they always get targeted by the jealous. Ron Paul doesn't get that.

I understand, but why is it that he clearly is the most reasonable candidate to vote from.

Ever see him during interviews? The guy can speak off the cuff about what he believes without hesitation. This shows that he is a sincere candidate.

I just don't get it. I'm really losing faith in the American people.

Saddam was not responsible for the destruction of the WTC. we had no reason spending trillions to invade Iraq.. as for Bin laden the us should have sent in small special forces to take him out, not spent trillions to get one scumbag. look at Iraq and Afghanistan now they are deeper cesspools than before we invaded..

I will vote for Rand. I do wonder if he has the charisma to win and he won't get much support from the establishment and special interest groups so likely a wasted vote.

He is an ideologue and would likely be constrained by his ideology to make practical/pragmatic decisions/deals and lead. I could vote for a more practical Libertarian like Gary Johnson, but he's in anathema to most Libertarians because he isn't an ideologue. The Libertarian movement is like a religion.

Rand is by far the best of the GOP candidates, I recently got to see him being interviewed on one of the late night talk shows and he did really well, it's just that during debates he does not get the time that is spent on Cruz, Trump or Rubio.

I like his stand on most issues, but for some reason he reminds me of a rebellious teenager, not really a leader.

Because he is a physician who believes that vaccinations against deadly communicable diseases should not be mandatory, which is a belief that kills people when it becomes public or de facto policy.

Because he has zero management experience, just like our current President.

Because he has zero political accomplishments.

Because we would have never heard of him if he did not have a famous daddy.
