4. He did not just school Rand Paul on the Senate floor...

He schooled him on the internet as well and that is a much bigger deal.

Rand Paul was depending on the same vocal group that used the internet to lift his father's campaign to do the same for his own. Ron Paul was really the candidate of the internet the last cycle, now don't get me wrong Obama got a bigger following once the primaries started but prior to the primaries no campaign on either side of the aisle got the level of internet support that Ron Paul's did.

Now that Rand Paul is running the internet has lost interest in the Pauls and Bernie has become the candidate of the internet. And unlike Paul, Bernie's ideas are actually sane and have much wider appeal than Paul's did.

This is great for Bernie and it spells doom for Rand Paul.
