 Senator Rand Paul was elected to the United States Senate in the state of Kentucky in 2010. Rand Paul is the son of former Texas Congressman and 2008, 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul. Senator Paul established himself as an outspoken Washington outsider. He does not go with the flow of Washington and puts up a fight for what he believes in. Like his father he established himself as one who stands up for liberty and the true meaning of the Constitution. He closely resembles the ideas that his father represented throughout his congressional career. Rand Paul has been considering a run for President in 2016 and is very likely to run for President. The question is not whether he will run or not, the question is if he was to run would he win the nomination. Right now he is leading the 2016 RCP GOP Primary. Leading right now in the early polls really means nothing. Just ask Rudy Giuliani. Being such an outspoken man in the Republican Party he has made a lot of enemies within the establishment of the Republican Party. Making enemies within the Party can only hurt you. Especially those who control the money flow and outreach in the Republican Party. This can make his path to victory very difficult. I want to be clear being outspoken is not the problem. I admire those who are outspoken, but being such an outspoken person can hurt his chances in 2016. If we look at the past elections the establishment member of the party is the one that takes the nomination. So if we look at the establishment members of the 2016 field: Mike Huckabee, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, and Bobby Jindal. That's not to say these are all the establishment members, just those who are put in majority of the polls.
The Clinton's on the other hand have a similar amount of wealth. Since leaving the White House Bill Clinton has made over 100 million just from giving speeches around the country. They were not considered out of touch. No one said anything about their wealth until recently when Hillary Clinton made a ridiculous comment about how they were broke when they left the White House. The double standard is very clear. We have Mitt Romney, a wealthy businessman who worked his way up the corporate ladder making tons of money working hard. According to the media and varies liberals this makes Mitt Romney out of touch. Then we have the Clinton's. A powerful political family who made all of their wealth from giving speech's and writing books. So in all reality who are the real ones that are out of touch. The 2016 Republican Presidential and Vice Presidential nominee will be nominated in either Cleveland, Ohio or Dallas, Texas. This was announced by the Republican Party on Wednesday. There were previously four cities left, but the cities of Denver and Kansas City are no longer being considered. The winnowing leaves GOP leaders to choose between staging the big event in a Democratic-leaning city in the key presidential battleground state of Ohio or going deep in the heart of Texas, where George W. Bush and some of the party’s deepest-pocketed donors live. House Speaker John Boehner said he plans to move forward with a lawsuit against President Barack Obama for misusing executive powers. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that Barack Obama is overreaching his power. He is the President not a King. The problem I see is how far will this lawsuit really go. Is it going to be a real lawsuit or just one of this political games that wont go very far.  Former Massachusetts Governor and 2012 Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney is leading in the primary state of New Hampshire. Mitt Romney who won the New Hampshire primary two years ago with a substantial margin is leading the 2016 potential contenders with 24% of the vote. The poll was conducted by Suffolk University/Boston Herald and was released on Thursday. Governor Romney continues to say that he is not interested in running for President in 2016. When Romney was not on the poll ballot, Governor Christie and Senator Paul were tied with 11%. You can see that poll here. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Friday laid into IRS Commissioner John Koskinen for failing to keep Congress informed about the lost Lois Lerner emails, and was forced to conclude that he cannot believe Koskinen’s testimony. I think its unbelievable that the IRS who keeps track of everybody's tax records for pretty much a life time can some how lose all the important emails that took place during this scandal. I mean come on here they really want the American people to believe the notion that some how the computer hard drives crashed and everything is gone right when the investigation begins. |
