WASHINGTON — Kentucky Sen. Rand Paulofficially joined the 2016 presidential race today, hoping to remake the Republican Party with a mix of libertarian and conservative ideals that can attract minorities and young people.
On his campaign website, Paul announced, "I am running for president to return our country to the principles of liberty and limited government." The announcement includes a video testimonial from his wife, Kelley Ashby Paul.

Paul is scheduled to kick off his campaign with a rally in Louisville, Ky., and then will take questions via Facebook.

Expected. Rand Paul is officially in the race. Not a big announcement like Cruz, just a little posting on his website, but he is officially in the race.

That was a problem last time, too many clowns and too many clown debates. The democrats get down to a handful of clowns early on.
 
Looks like he will start off with some flak too.

No, not from the left or the MS Media either. Just Republicans.

That's good. I don't think I'll be voting for him but I'll listen to what he has to say. He'll be spending a lot of time here so I'll get to meet him hopefully soon.

He is running as an outsider.....his little get together is called Stand with Rand. His campaign platform is.....Defeat Washington!
 
I think I was pretty clear about my preferring the GOP to run as many nutsacks as possible in their primary.

Again, the alternative is a person whose claim to fame is being outshined by John Kerry in the role of Sec State and sleeping with Bill Clinton. I'm highly amused.

(PS. Rand Paul, as much as I have no desire to vote for the man is 10x better than the dem alternative)

And if I'm an opponent I just run that tape of him with Alex Jones claiming flu vaccines kill more then the flu and ignore him.

He's like his dad, smart and good on many things and kookie on others.

Defeating Washington sounds good to me.

Maybe he can run on "Hope and Change", or "Outside the Washington Way". Those little catch phrases caused a lot of suckers to vote for this guy in 2008....

I don't think he's as far out there as his father, who I liked, don't get me wrong.

Different level of the same crazy. I like some of his ideas, and I think at heart he's a good guy just... not someone I can support.

He don't stand a chance.....his foreign Policy would place the US at greater Risk even more than BO has placed us at Risk. He is week on Iran and he would be left of BO on Iran.

I love these "anti establishment" slogans, "Help me defeat Washington by allowing me to become Washington!"

Sorry bout that TB, I got caught up there for a couple of few seconds on a techno glitch.

His platform is Defeat the Washington Machine.

His rather soft views on foreign policy are what keeps me from seriously considering him. It was also the same problem I had with his father. I knew we grew up listening to "I Want To Teach The World To Sing" but I don't buy that Iran or any number of countries like them watched those commercials and took them to heart.

I'm okay with that too. Defeating Washington on top of the machine defeat would be a nice added bonus.
 
It worked for Obama.

Kinda. His was "change". Not some man vs the machine kind of scenario, where "I shall defeat Washington", by electing me to become the chief "Washingtonite".

When was the Last Constitutionalist that was in the White House? Btw, Its help him Defeat the Washington Machine.

Or just a right wing populist.
