Another hat in the ring!
He has no understanding of economics, his environmental record is dismal, his views on abortion are anything but libertarian, and he has no chance whatsoever of winning the presidency, but I like two things about him.
First, he has made a genuine effort to reach groups that have been written off by the Republican Party, including blacks and Latinos. Secondly, he seems to be the only candidate concerned about N.S.A. phone taps and the ever-growing surveillance in this country. He’s even said kind things about Edward Snowden. We owe him thanks for that.
Yeah, when he's scripted he sounds intriguing, and it's really interesting that he's trying to address African Americans and Hispanics in creative and interesting ways. However, he seems to enjoy alternatively ignoring and offending women. When he's off-script and fielding questions from reporters, his cool is dropped and he comes across as testy and arrogant. My guess that's the real Rand Paul. And what on earth is up with that hair??
ReplyDeleteHe probably comes across as testy and arrogant because he is. He is not a nice man.
