(Rand Paul 2016). "I have no idea what his real philosophy is other than that he is for promoting himself."
Rand Paul is pro-liberty. He knows a fascist like Trump when he sees one. Trump has no principle beyond his ego and power. He is extremely dangerous--can you imagine a thin-skinned Trump who can't handle Megyn Kelly able to negotiate with the likes of Putin? He thinks everybody else is stupid, and he's willing to start trade wars with China at the drop of a hat. When it comes to enemies lists and executive orders, this fool will make Nixon and Clinton look like amateurs. All the polls show Trump losing by 10 points over Clinton where Rand Paul actually beats Clinton. Trump is a corrupt politician-buying billionaire who thinks a different set of rules apply to him. Trump is worse than a RINO; he has funded New York Dems, including Hillary, he has praised nationalized healthcare, he flip-flopped on abortion like Romney. Almost any conservative would have called him a RINO years ago. Rand Paul needs to speak up, because Trump leading the ticket will result in a Dem landslide.

(FEE). Trump's political outlook is not random. It has a history. It draws on a tradition. http://at.fee.org/1fawPWz
"Four Bankruptcies" Trump is a grossly incompetent, thin-skinned, flip-flopping, intemperate right-fascist who manipulates his cultists with lies and crackpot populist rhetoric.

(National Review). If your best argument is “You just don’t get it,” you’re probably the person who doesn’t get it. Why? Because “You just don’t get it!” is not an argument.
Trump cultists don't give a damn that he is a shameless flip-flopper, he has been on the record as supporting socialized medicine, he makes shit up (like the Mexican government dumping prisoners over the border, he's a thin-skinned jackass who takes cheap shots at anyone who disagrees with him, even a P.O.W. hero or a news anchorwoman who asked him a tough, but fair question. I mean, really: if this guy can't control his reaction to Ms. Kelly, how the hell do you trust him with our nuclear launch codes? Temperament is a key criterion of the office.

(FEE). The fight for a $15 minimum wage has scored a victory for robots and unions against immigrants and young people.
MCD's had a Net Income of 4.7 Billion in 2014. No room for a raise for their employees? It's a moral responsibility of employers (and CEO's making 7 Million a year) to pay a little more.
What a RETARD!. Most McDonald's (about 90%) are operated by franchisees, not by the corporation. Many of those franchises are small businessses operating with margins maybe 6% at best. No, fascist, it's not a company's responsibility to set wages to accommodate what you think is "fair"; what is fair is what clears the market and whether an employee is sufficiently productive. Some 98% of so of jobs pay above minimum wage; if people were worth $15/hour, they would already be making $15 an hour.

(Drudge Report). TRUMP TO DO MEETTHEPRESSFACETHENATIONTHISWEEK, BUT WILL SKIP FOX...
 If this unqualified, intemperate right-fascist "Four Bankruptcies" Trump thinks that the mainstream media will suffer a fool any more than FNC, he's also a retard.
