NYT Op-ed: Warren Can Win

[beerandjesus]

133. You're totally right about that, unequivocally.

But just for fun, imagine a scenario where you have a campaign where Hillary is loudly beating the drums to bomb, say, Iran, and Rand Paul is pledging to stay the hell away.

I'm not a Hillary fan anyway, but I know I would have a really, really hard time voting for her under those circumstances, and would want to vote for Paul, in spite of everything, to stop the war. Of course, it would be really, really hard for me to vote for a Republican under pretty much any circumstances, but still, the level of faith I'd have to put in the (correct) proposition you just made, that Republicans are invariably worse, regardless of what they say (which they are), enough faith to actually vote for the ostensible war monger as the lesser of two evils..... well, it would be tough. Instead, I said imagine it "just for fun", but it's not fun at all, haha!

And that's me speaking about myself, hugely anti-Republican as I am. The original question I was considering is which Republican(s) could be a threat to Hillary... and I think under that scenario (and possibly some less extreme ones), Paul would have a very good shot at beating her.
