On Tuesday, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) announced that he is running for 2016 Republican nomination, placing him alongside Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and two old white men youve never heard of in the ranks of People Who Will Never Be President.
But, a future as just about anything other than president of the United States is not the only thing Sens. Paul and Cruz have in common. They both have fathers who are completely bonkers and who could significantly impact each mans campaign.
Lets begin with the more well-known of these two kooks, long-running Texas Rep. Ron Paul (R), who has courted the far-right fringe for a generation, touting his outsider status and a watered-down version of faux-Libertarianism that never fails to make a certain young, lawyer-ish species of free market-worshipping American male pitch a tent in his Dockers.

Ron paul had off the wall horrible ideas and questionable links with racist organizations but he also had moments of lucidity such as wanting to drastically reduce the pentagon footprint, i.e close overseas bases.
Rafael cruz is even crazier than his son.
