29. I have trouble taking Rand Paul seriously
Tue Apr 21, 2015, 04:04 PM
Apr 2015

The man reminds me of Dan Quayle in that he is clueless as to what is going on in the world. Rand Paul has no chance of being the GOP nominee and the RNC and the GOP donor class would not support Rand if he was the nominee. Rand comes off as an ass but part of that is his inherent cluelessness and lack of understanding of how the world works

In order to hate someone, I have to take them seriously and I can not force myself to take Rand Paul seriously
