Regardless of your opinion of HRC, anyone here actually want to see Rand Paul win in a head to head?

[woo me with science]

107. It is obvious if you just think a moment.

Why do investment banker infiltrate a party? Why the massive corporate backing of groups like the Third Way and the pouring of billions into running corporate candidates and establishing a strong corporate presence in the party?

It's because the Democratic Party *was* the opposition party standing in their way. Now they own it.

They didn't buy it because of some perverse affection for the Democratic Party or the color blue on the Democratic Party pom poms. They did it to advance the corporate policy agenda that rakes in billions in wealth and power.

They don't give a rat's ass what party actually wins, as long as the winning accomplishes the goal for which they spent billions running candidates to infiltrate the party in the first place. They are the same people backing corporatists in both parties. They will work together and USE the parties to ensure the victory of whichever party or candidate can best serve their interests at the moment.

Running HIllary to the right of Paul pretty much locks in that agenda either way, and Paul has the added benefit of possibly appealing to those who are disgusted with both parties. It would give the illusion that something radically different was being offered. And it could dupe a lot of people into remaining passive about what is being done to us by making them believe, one more time, that merely voting is going to be enough.
