Unfortunately, almost all discussion of Republicans on DU is inane attacks, name calling, and saying FUCK (INSERT REPUBLICAN NAME)! It is childish, unproductive, and reflects poorly on this site and it's members.
If Rand wins the Republican nomination and Hillary wins the Democratic nomination it will be terrible for the Democratic Party. All of the sudden the Democratic Party will be the party in favor of NSA spying, the drug war, drones, foreign intervention, etc. and the Republican Party will be the party opposed to it. Neoconservatives will support Hillary over Rand. It will be a dramatic change, and not a good one.
