(11,464 posts)I do find what Ron wants is to divide the democratic party to splinter away protest votes.
However, unlike Ron's dream of being a 3rd party, Ron is now covertly/overtly working with his son to win on a major party,
that being the republican party.
Ron, being for pot and saying he is anti-war, knowns he can ATTEMPT to splinter enough votes to win/secure Rand the nomination
in 2016, OR cause enough talk to have Rand become a major powerbroker forever in the party.
IMHO.
Ron is 100% on the same side as Rand, and they are coordinating this, to attempt NOT to make the major mistakes Ron made.
This makes Rand Paul more and more dangerous and makes him actually have a chance at the nomination, being that only 24% of the vote will be needed in the primaries for him to attempt to secure the delegates.
Also makes him a top choice for VP if he stays on the good sides of the upper people in the background of the republican party.
Very, very dangerous IMHO if one supports the democratic party and all the social issues of the democratic party
