It's about time that some of the "dead weight" candidates are starting to drop.  It's hard to estimate who Rand Paul supporters would go to.  My guess in order would be Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and maybe Marco Rubio.  A few at this point might gravitate to the other "fringe candidates" such as Ben Carson or Carly Fiorina.

 

 

Quote:I find it so sad that "being cool enough" is even something that people consider for a POTUS. I guess Obama and his "cool factor" with the young and hip started this trend. And don't bash me here, I voted for him in '08, but that's another story altogether.

 

The office of the Presidency is not about being young, hip and trendy. It's about being an adult who knows the landscape, knows the stakes and is not willing to compromise based on public 'opinion'. Our voice should be heard absolutely, but this flip-flopping that candidates, and even Obama while in office, has done to win the popular vote is ridiculous.  

 

Based on your comment, previous comments and the time that I've known you, you seem to be leaning more towards the right.  That's not a bad thing either.      It happens as we get older and more mature.
