Call it the battle of the bad hair candidates.
Despite numerous trips to the first-in-the-nation primary state, Rand Paul is trailing former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in New Hampshire, according to a new Suffolk University Poll.
Paul has just 7 percent support among likely voters in the Granite State's presidential primary, the survey finds.
Bush has 19 percent support while Walker has 14 percent. Trump is at 6 percent, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are tied at 5 percent each. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson each have 3 percent.
A quarter of those surveyed were undecided.
(via The Courier-Journal)
that 25% of active republicans are undecided or wouldn't commit to anything says a lot.
ReplyDeleteGimme Rand over Trump, who no doubt has a rolodex full of rich rent-seekers to whom he owes favors. Rand hasn't been around long enough to develop many hanger's-on.

ReplyDeleteGood one, but I think that Randy's bad hair is deliberate, while Trumps is an accident of birth.
Which makes Rand more of a phony.
DeleteRobert, have you degraded your intellect to criticizing a person's appearance? You're better than this. What has happened to you?
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with making fun of the evil men who want to rule us.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to be ineffective than go ahead. I'd rather use facts and logic rather than emotion and melodramaticism...but that's only for the intellectually honest...you apparently won't find that on this blog anymore.
DeleteOne thing hyper-sensitive people don't seem to understand is that making an observation is not the same things as criticizing. It's an easily observable fact that these two men are interested in being president . . . and that each has bad hair!
ReplyDeleteWhy as Libertarians do we care or spend so much time on who is president? The office itself is anti-Liberty, no matter who is in it.
ReplyDeleteFor me personally, my interest in the U.S. presidential office is to see it gone.
As Lew Rockwell has said, Down with the Presidency!!
And down with politics and down with the State.
Who cares which gangster holds the office.
Because much of the media labels him libertarian. And wish as you might, the office of the Presidency isn't going anywhere for a long time.
