Here’s How Rand Paul Wins The Next GOP Debate
by Josh Guckert. The last few weeks have been excellent for the Rand Paul campaign. After being left for dead by numerous media outlets, Paul has experienced new-found momentum, polling in the top five both nationally and in Iowa. He has energized thousands of college students through Students for Rand, and is gaining exposure which he had ... MORERepublican Party Realizes It Has A Donald Trump Problem
by Peter Suderman. Wait a minute—is Donald Trump actually going to win the Republican presidential nomination? All throughout the summer, critics (including me) dismissed Trump as a
novelty item—amusing for a moments, but thoroughly disposable and
certain to be disposed of. But now it’s the end of October, and Trump is still leading the GOP ... MORE
Rumors Of Paul Campaign’s Demise Greatly Exaggerated
by Josh Guckert. A CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday morning shows Rand Paul firmly in the hunt for the Republican nomination, as he is tied with 2008 runner-up Mike Huckabee and within the margin of error of overtaking both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, who are tied for third place behind Donald Trump and Ben Carson. Paul does exceptionally ... MOREWhy These "Libertarianism-Is-Over” Stories Are Dumb
by Jack Hunter. I’ve been asked about these types of articles a few times now. Earlier this month, Fox News published “The collapse of Rand Paul and the libertarian moment that never was,” by Jerry Taylor, president of the Niskanen Center, a Washington, DC think tank. Taylor wrote, “If there were any significant support for Libertarian ... MOREEminent Domain Trumps Your Property Rights
by Daniel John Sobieski. In the ready, shoot, aim world of Donald Trump, the adage that a bell cannot be unrung undeniably applies and particularly with his statement that eminent domain, the government’s taking of private property for what Marxists and socialists would call “the greater good”, is “wonderful”. He has since, in Clintonian ... MOREOlivia Nuzzi: Alex Jones Endorses Rand Paul
‘America needs real change’ Hot off his surprise interview with the reclusive Matt Drudge, the excited radio host texts to say he thinks Clinton is ‘too corrupt and evil’ for the presidency—and Paul is his man. In late September, Rand Paul announced that he had been endorsed by eight people: Fox News’s John Stossel; his own father, former ... MOREEvidence Suggests Most Americans Are Really Embracing Big Government Paternalism Over Individual Liberty
by Jerry Taylor. The Founders weep while King George smiles. The libertarian moment in American politics—foretold just last year in the New York Times magazine—is like the horizon; always retreating as we advance upon it. The political events of 2015 are a brutal reminder about how far this country is from embracing libertarianism and how alien ... MOREHow Jeb Bush Would Destroy The Internet & Your Privacy
by Trevor Timm. Do you want to live in a country where Internet Service Providers can slow down and censor your internet traffic at will, where the NSA has vastly more power than it does today and where end-to-end encryption may be illegal? Then Jeb Bush is the Republican presidential contender for you: he has positioned himself ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Only Obama Will Shut Down Gov't
Never accept their premise. Government shutdowns are not cancer and today I’ll show why we must stop taking the bait. Indeed, I’ll show why we will lose elections if we are unwilling to shut down the government in order to protect human life and reform immigration policy. CNN’s Dana Bash did not speak much during last week’s ... MOREJohn Nichols: Rand Paul Offered Reasonable Alternatives On Foreign Policy, Drug Reform, And Mass Incarceration
Kentucky senator not parroting establishment line. Donald Trump does not like Rand Paul. In the weirdest non sequitur of a often-incoherent second Republican presidential debate, the billionaire front-runner for the party nomination declared, "Rand Paul shouldn't even be on this stage. He's number 11. He's got 1 percent in the polls. ... MORE
