A Rand Paul Resurrection?

I wanted to provide the below link as an offering spark of hope to you all:

I found this to be a very interesting development, whether it comes to fruition or not. I continue to hold out hope as I have always done. However, I am (as mentioned in a recent thread, done with the festival of politics) not so naïve to believe Rand Paul announcing an ‘un-suspension’ of his presidential candidacy will miraculously garner an overwhelming resurgence of support. Yet, I dare to think of any naivety on my part as simply an immaturity, not like that of so many others in their demonstration of support for the least constitutional candidate possible, but an immaturity as it alludes to the hopefulness we as adults sometimes lose over time.

I still stand with Rand, regardless of whether he ‘un-suspends’ his presidential campaign or not. I will never again vote against my conscience…and I hope you all feel as do I.

Peace and Love always.

Rand just getting another zinger against clueless Christie. The campaign for Rand is over for President. Go support the Senator or someone in your state locally. The campaign for liberty must soldier on.

If a strong 3rd party candidate comes forward throw them a bone. I wouldnt be opposed to Ventura at this point if we have to have a celebrity.

That the campaign for liberty is over for President, but that it must soldier on beneath the dark wings of where sunlight once shone. How much more time do we need? Does having liberty for President inspire? By the time the next usurper ends term, if terms still be, an incrementally-corrupted appointee will shamelessly take and oath to that which they publically had shown of a well-tempered sacrificial token, before laying their cursed hand on that which few perceive a benchmark of where religion remains complicit to the political corruption and carries on so.

With a strong liberty minded block by the state and Senate we can all but ignore the position. I honestly think we obsess over it too much.

of any life by the presidential seat being filled by liberty. I did however ask if the presidential seat is [worthy] of liberty? The position is hard to ignore when it has circumvented a constitutional framework in order to appease vain and ignoble pursuits.

I think Rand was being facetious.
imo, Vote for Rand if you vote in a primary and he is on the ballot, then, let it go and put your focus on the Congress.
After the election there may be a pro-freedom contingency big enough to defend the Constitution and check the power of the Executive Branch. My view of Trump is that he is not bad intentioned but delusional and narcissistic and therefore easier to manipulate. If a pro-freedom force in Congress can take control and push him toward more liberty, the wealth quotient will literally bloom like a lotus and Trump can puff up and take credit and we all WIN!

I think this quote by Keynes sums up Trump perfectly:

"Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back."
