re: #245 palomino

I think Rand has too much of Ron in him to really get very far in a run for the nomination; in other words, he’s just too fucking weird, a borderline whack job. He’s not quite as bizarre as his dad, but there’s still the kooky family pseudo-libertarian streak. And his lukewarm feelings about military intervention don’t play well in his party. He doesn’t really fit in with the war hero/soldier for God/button down businessman who is the GOP exemplar.

Plus, he tries to be super Jesus-y for the base, but it comes off as even less sincere than most other candidates.

And whatever good points he might have are usually destroyed by his condescending, arrogant attitude.

In short, a typical libertarian.
