Truly weird Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky reminds me of a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain. He was terrible at DEBATE!

They should all drop any pretense at civility and just start duking it out for real.  Who would you put your money on?

Pot, kettle, black, Donald?

Ok.  I am seriously waiting for him now to insult Clinton.  If he would come out against her, than I could possibly believe his sincerity in wanting to truly be a GOP contender and not a Clinton rat.

[ABX]

Remind me again how is supposedly getting everyone talking about issues they normally wouldn't be talking about? He seems to be spending more time acting like a 6th grader. When he talks about issues, he speaks more like a Stephen Colbert parody of the right.

Yep. It's becoming sorely obvious that Trump will attack anyone BUT Clinton.

Ross Perot part two? Or is it part three?

Right on ALL counts.

Trump is a child.

And we don't NEED another child in the White House!!!

As I said here days ago, his 15 minutes of political fame are officially up as far as I'm concerned.  His usefulness has long since expired!

Unfortunately, his power in the media (with the socialist's tacit approval) is nowhere near expired.  And the media controls our politics with an iron-fist.

Trump ain't going nowhere. He's got the bucks, and he's staying till the obese transgendered lady tweets.

[mystery-ak]

These personal insults are soooooooo presidential!

That is so obviously true that there can be no doubt about it!

Meanwhile Hillary's multitude of problems are off the front page. Or any other page for that matter!

VERY clever, ac!  May I steal that, should the occasion ever arise where it fits?

Looks like Paul fired the first salvo....

Yesterday, August 10, 2015, Republican Party presidential candidate and Kentucky U.S. Senator Rand Paul wrote an op-ed piece for IJ Review. In it, Paul takes down opponent Donald Trump for his liberal past and his inconsistent rhetoric during his brief run for president. Trump wasted little time responding, issuing on Twitter, “Truly weird Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky reminds me of a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain. He was terrible at DEBATE!” Paul and Trump, along with a long list of others, are seeking the Republican Party's presidential nomination for the 2016 election. Whoever wins the Republican Party's nomination will face the Democratic Party and Libertarian Party's presidential nominees in the November 2016 general election.

Paul's main complaint about Trump is that he feels Trump does not operate by a set of principles; however, he operates on what is most politically expedient or what will profit him the most. Paul also has called into question Trump's conservative credentials. Paul writes, “I honestly have no idea what Mr. Trump’s real philosophy is. He was liberal before he was conservative, and has openly professed for decades that his views are those of a Democrat.”

"... he operates on what is most politically expedient or what will profit him the most..."
And how is he different that a career politician?

Looks like Paul's comments are more political and Trumps are Jr. High personal.

Not the same thing.

Well golly that just cries out for a response of 'reminds me of a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain' or something similar doesn't it?

except Paul's commentary was legitimate political fare while response was right off the playground.  He might as well have said 'well you are a big poopy head.'

Junior High personal is the intelligence level and interest level of a solid majority of the American electorate.

There appears to be a GROWING audience of fans, with middle-school-like political tastes and sensitivities.

Contemporary conservatism, as I occasionally refer to it. Also further evidence there is no universal definition of a "conservative."

Dear lady, I am at your beck and call. You may do as you wish.  ^-^

I thought that Conservatives believed in logic when it came to choosing a Presidential candidate.

Witness the last two election cycles. Presidential politics defy logic.

I'm afraid you're right, Scott.

Thus, they elected a Prom King candidate.................TWICE.
