Rand Paul Returns To Libertarian Roots

Rand Paul is polling at 5 percent in Iowa is because he is suffering from the delusion that his father’s former supporters are like the brat pack in the video below:

“With time running out before the Iowa caucuses and his polling still in the low single digits, Sen. Rand Paul finds himself desperately needing a strong showing in the Hawkeye State to get back into the presidential discussion.

Once a promising candidate who was leading in some polls two years ago, the U.S. senator from Kentucky has seen his fortunes plummet as his message became lost in a large field of GOP contenders who had more money and more star power. …

According to the most recent Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll, Paul gets 5% of the vote and sits in fifth place among likely caucus-goers in Iowa behind Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, businessman Donald Trump, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

Nalle’s group last week endorsed Paul because Nalle said his small-government, libertarian message is more pure than that of his opponents, who he said are pandering to establishment Republicans to win votes.
