BILLIONAIRE DONOR: RAND PAUL ‘ALIENATED ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT VOTERS’ BY ATTACKING TRUMP

BigGovernment: While showing some frustration, the first-term Kentucky senator this week claimed his superior political organization would prove wrong those doubting his chances in the White House contest. At the same time, he released fundraising numbers that place him squarely in the bottom tier of the GOP’s 2016 class over the last three months, a painful symbol of stalled momentum for the libertarian favorite who was considered a major presidential contender earlier in the year.

Despite the early hype, Paul has failed to tap into the national anti-establishment sentiment that fueled his father’s national ambitions just four years ago.

“Rand’s missed his opportunity,” said Gary Heavin, a Texas billionaire who accompanied Paul on a three-day humanitarian mission to Haiti over the summer.

“I wanted to support him because he’s the real deal, but his strategy is just awful,” continued Heavin, the founder of the health club franchise Curves. “He is going to be a very, very effective senator.”  more here

  1. He lost it when he started to chum up with the GOPe. He is now one of them, albeit, a hillbilly distant cousin. Instead of being a loud mouth against the progressives, he turned on his base (teaparty) and joined the likes of Rubio in “how fast can I betray those who voted me in?'” turnabout.

  2. Sometimes Rand is right on and then there are those times when you cock your head and say WTF?

    He reminds a little of Kerry when Kerry said about W, “How in the world am I losing to this idiot?” IOW, why are we so fucking stupid as to not recognize his greatness?

    And frankly, I don’t think he’s that effective a senator-better then every REgressive but, yeah so?
