" The Rand Paul-shaped hole on stage on Thursday night left quite an impression"

The fact that Rand took to a national town-hall last night via Periscope/Twitter, therefore turning what easily could have become a detriment into an entrepreneurial endeavor, shows a temper restrained in order to direct it toward a positive end. Rand is the only class on/off that stage. He is a skeptic, inquirer and cautious. And shouldn't we all be a little more that way? I'll be damned if I ever vote for 'the' mindless war candidate. My son will not become the future collateral or asset to murder and the conjuring of hell that war solicits. Yesterday marks a critical day for liberty. Rand just made the mainstream media sensibly irrelevant to undermining his campaign. All he had to do was refuse to accept condescension and the lollipop with hair on it.

Browsing Reddit, I noticed that one of the top topics was an AMA Request for Rand Paul.  That being a pretty liberal site, I was surprised to actually read through the comments and see how positive they were about this idea.  Supposedly, there has also been a response already on Twitter that his team and he are considering it.

The link is below if you are interested.

2016 has been, for libertarians, basically Rand Paul verses every other Republican—and his opponents are all awful.

“So you’re hoping to win it?” the senator was asked.

“Absolutely,” Paul answered.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) isn't going quietly after being dropped from the prime-time stage at the Republicans' next presidential debate, literally flipping off the media during an interview.

Well sure, Rand Paul wasn't there.
