1. Maybe, but it won't be an answer to anything she asks
He's a slimy little S#!t.

11. Closet nothing
The Paul family has long standing associations with various white supremacist groups.

4. This is just painful to watch. Paul is disgusting
and tries to wrap it in his pathetic fucked up views of the Constitution and property rights.

7. OMFG
I couldn't believe when he compared Black patrons to people with guns in a private business. I have to go wash now.

14. Which state recently allowed guns to be carried into a bar? Arizona was it? 18 minutes of dodging
that was it... I hate to say she should have been more like Matthews for a minute, told him he had to answer and if not move on to the other controversial things he'd like to overturn such as the Board of Education, or Social Security... Too bad she didn't have him on for an hour I suppose.

What a pathetic piece of shit he is

25. It's Georgia, my state
Alcohol and firearms are SUCH a great mix.

27. I looked it up, also passed in Arizona now... sorry to hear it's in GA as well :(
Anyhow, he used the argument several times to try and avoid answering the question, Rachel should have known this law is already on the books in some places, used it against him, and then try to move forward... the guy couldn't answer a question if his life depended on it "it's interesting blah blah blah...." That's all he could say.

28. We saw it last night in stunned silence
Our reaction was partly, "Holy shit, can someone actually think this was in 2010?" and part of it was, "Holy shit, Kentucky's going blue,"

23. Standard tactics on the right
If your first premise does'nt work, sling talking points with a shovel, hope some stick together and make some mud.

You should always wash up after handling shit... prevents E-coli infection.

10. Looks like little Randy lacks the courage of his convictions. Completely unready, unwilling, and
unable to give a straight answer to a simple question because he knows it'll sink him politically. He must wear out a new pair of tap shoes every day.

26. His Libertarian worldview would re-install "whites only" signs
at "private" businesses.

What world does he live in? The modern world has moved beyond his "freedom" to discriminate.

18. He better develop a better technique
Trying to kiss up to Rachel didn't buy him a reprieve from her pointed questions. Smarmy came to mind.

21. One of the worst interviews ever
Rand Paul is definitely not his dad, at least Ron is capable of having a conversation and answering questions in a relevant manner, but Rand literally avoided Rachel's questions every time and went on about historical events that have nothing to with what they were talking about. I think Rand Paul might be even crazier than his dad.

22. His arrogance is breath taking! His victory speech last night was from a country club.
Sorry to stereotype but he's really got that I'm a doctor/god thing going.

The GOP created these monsters (Tea Partiers) and now they are going to destroy them. Florida, Kentucky, NY23rd.

Rand Paul makes his dad look sane (Yes, I love Ron for his sticking it to the man in the GOP debates etc but honestly, he's nutz).

Like Father. Like Son. Think About It, Won't You?
