In reply to the discussion: Bill Maher: If Hillary gets the 2016 nomination, I’ll vote for Rand Paul [View all]TSIAS

He never said he's vote for Paul. Just that Clinton doesn't have his vote yet. And that's the way it should be. If Clinton knows she has 100 % of the liberals votes in the bag it will embolden her to become more and more conservative to woo the centrists. Without a contested primary Clinton has already realized she doesn't have to worry about liberals and is free to court the Kissinger crowd.

OP
I think he will come around. He has moments of crazy (or lucidity, not sure which).

Though I guess the tea partiers weren't wanting to make sure that McCain was born on a military base

Except that now Paul supports the war on ISIS. That blows that rationale out of the water

Yep. Republicans (of all stripes) campaign as a moderate but rule as a RWer.

Correct. Unlike his dad, Rand is a 100% phony. He flips to neocon positions in a hearbeat.

Bill Maher notwithstanding, this attitude will likely become more apparent in the near future.

No question about it. In fact I suspect Hillary will get even more hateful barbs thrown at her

But many of us would rather someone like Elizabeth Warren have to put up with the sexism!
