I think he is absolutely 100% wrong on all of his positions and to the right of any mainstream Democrat in all respects. | |

Actually if it was a choice between Rand Paul and a DLC type Democrat like Hillary, I would probably support Rand Paul | |

I'm a Paulbot troll and I support Rand Paul. Blessed be his name and the loins that spawned him. May he reign a thousand years. | |

He is over all a right-wing reactionary. But like Pat Buchanan or Ron Paul and many Libertarians and Paleoconservatives, because of certain ideological peculiarities he happens to hold some positions on some foreign policy issues and some domestic civil libertarian issues that are actually more progressive than most mainstream Democrats. Still, he is over all a right-wing reactionary I could never actually support. | |

I do think he is more of an opportunist than an ideologue like his father was

He's a right wing racist like his dad, and does not believe in safety nets or government oversight.
