He would have been better off keeping the bulge - more in tune with the voters, and the op kind of sends the wrong message.

Anyway, reckon Bush will get the nomination because his name will be enough to hand it to Hillary. Rand Paul I suspect will be the 2020 victor though by the way he his shaping up and quietly cutting his allegiances to his dad and swapping them over to the king makers.

Rand Paul in 2020?

The Tea Party Republican is more racist than his dad, has no appeal among African American, Asian and Hispanic voters, and he's a conspiracy nut (Amero and the "NAFTA superhighway").

Paul is so far to the right ideologically that I can't imagine he'd have a realistic chance...

Remember his disastrous appearance at Howard University a while back?

Rand Paul's flippant "accidents happen" comment regarding the BP oil spill?

You don't win the national election by appealing to the lunatic fringe. He'd have to seriously reinvent himself and the GOP if he ever wants a shot at the White House.
