13. UK betting sites only put him in 4th or 5th place

All put Christie, Rubio and Jed Bush in front of him; some put Paul Ryan in front too.

2. The 1% would spend what ever it took to keep Rand Paul from winning

3. Rand Paul does not have the answers and the statements he has made in the past does not

Create a road forward.

4. I would seriously leave the United States if he became president.

You want labor rights taken back to the stone ages? You want more Hobby Lobbys in positions of power? You want women and LGBT people to be treated like second class citizens? You corporations to continue to get away with unchecked power, power, greed and corruption with zero accountability? You want the NSA to continue their illegal warrantless wiretapping while ignoring the constitution? Vote Rand.

5. Just can't see over 50.1% of America voting for Evil Eddie Haskell. Or the EC reaching 270.

He's just too weird and creepy. I can't imagine anyone but baggers voting for him--especially after the Democratic candidate's campaign gets done playing clips of his devastating Rachel Maddow interview about the Civil Rights Act. The Hispanic margin will be larger for the Democratic candidate than it was for President Obama in 2012.

6. Unless there's some serious election fraud, on a scale like we've never seen, it ain't gonna happen.

7. Is he still for drug legalization? nt

8. Seeing as we have now...

...all been reliably informed that the temperature on Mars is the same as here on Earth, maybe we should start building a DU colony there. Could we be done by Jan 2017?

9. He would be just like the other rethugs

More tax cuts for the rich, more gutting of government services, privatization of services, gutting of regulations, and givaways for donor corporations.

And I am convinced, more war. I would bet money that 5 minutes after he won election, he would bring the whole neocon gang back in as FP advisors. People that think he would fight the military-industrial complex are deluded fools.

10. Mr. spoiled, self-certified (Ayn) Rand Paul?

Rand Paul, son of multiple presidential-run failure Ron Paul? Hypocritical, self-serving entitled (Ayn) Rand Paul couldn't win his parties nomination let alone a general presidential election.
But, he can certify the election results himself and maybe, maybe squeak out a win.

11. I'd rather another neocon get in there than Rand Paul.

12. I'm curious.....why is that? nt

14. As a Kentuckian, it's personal. nt

16. Cool. nt

15. The baggers don't like him and the corporatists don't like him.

No way does he get the nomination.
