"SNIP...............


Rand Paul's role in the 2016 Republican primary is to peel off prospective young voters and disenfranchised liberals. So today's spate of stories about how Rand Paul is being left out in the cold by his billionaires, leaving him short on cash should be viewed for the cynical manipulations they are.

We begin with Republico Politico:


In a presidential campaign defined by billionaire sugar daddy donors, Rand Paul has a problem: He doesn’t seem to have one.

While his rivals cultivate wealthy backers who will pump millions of dollars into their candidacies, Paul has struggled to find a similar lifeline. It’s led to considerable frustration in his campaign, which, amid rising concerns that it will not be able to compete financially, finds itself leaning heavily on the network of small donors who powered his father’s insurgent White House bids.

1. So-called "disaffected liberals" who would go for Rand Paul

were never liberals in the first place. You simply cannot overlook all the conservatism and bigotry to get roped in by a few anti-war or libertarian-type droppings and pretend you are or ever were a liberal. End of story (for me).

2. Anymore, Paul is not even anti-war. Perhaps in his search he discovered that

Hawks get the cash.

3. If he would ditch evangelicals and climate change denial and embrace choice & alt energy he probably

could get some silicon valley people. As it is he has no constituency. Pot smoking, dominionist, home schoolers are not a very big group, and probably don't have many billionaires.

4. Life is rough. lol

You're free though, keep repeating that.
