Rand is alright, for the most part. He seems to be a true conservative. Why he didn't get the nomination and the orange rapey cheeto did will forever remain a mystery to me.
He was the only conservative on the stage.
Its not a mystery though. A lot of voters are fucking idiots.
Right. I'm a far left liberal and even I could tell he was the only real conservative. Which makes me wonder, if Rand wasn't able to resonate with the majority of conservatives, perhaps conservatives aren't conservative anymore? I think the Republican party represents a different philosophy from real conservatism, and hasn't represented it since Reagan was president. Perhaps you can tell me what the hell happened, because I can't pinpoint the source of the change, other than the proliferation of more extremist views on radio and more recently popular outrage-porn right wing sites that have hijacked the party.
