The Rand Paul Countdown to 2016 Megathread

[garbon]

I don't think that was what he wanted. I think he genuinely wanted to reach out to young black voters, it wasn't all bad. He misjudged his audience, so it didn't work but I hope he carries on because I think it was genuine and I think he has potential.

If that's the case then I don't see how he has potential. It shouldn't come as a surprise that black kids who choose to go to a black university would know their shit about black history. Doesn't take a genius to connect those dots.

Incidentally I think expectations were higher for him than they would be for any other Republican precisely because he has potential.

Who? Who thinks he has potential?

Some of them will. Most will know only the bare bones, just like white college kids know history.

He didn't misjudge his audience, he misjudged his basic US history.

We have to remember: Sheilbh also really liked Huckabee.

I would vote for Rand Paul if he'd end income taxes.

[Ed Anger]

I love his hair.

[katmai]

That made me like him more. I think he was genuinely trying and just didn't quite realise that the students of Howard University know their history. I hope it doesn't put him off.

That he not only embarrassed himself with his own ignorance, but openly insulted the student body one of America's premier black universities?

I wonder about you sometimes.

I don't.

I love his hair.

No reason to covet something you can easily have.

I am slobby and unshaven.

You know, for someone who's considered one of the Languish "good guys", e.g. Xiacob, he really has some fucked up tastes when it comes to US politics.

I imagine Katmai standing over Paul's bed at night with a pair of scissors.
