(Rand Paul 2016). There is an important difference between fighting against political correctness and being lewd.
The more the retarded Trump cultists try to defend the unqualified, mediocre unprincipled right-wing populist with a bad temperament trying to buy the Presidency and no principle beyond his own ego, the more I feel the need to educate the retards. This guy lacks professionalism and tact, he thinks that insulting others or name-calling without a filter of civility is being "honest"; he thinks that anyone who disagrees him is out to get him (e.g., Megyn Kelly) or "atupid". He believes in stupid, ludicrous stereotypes: "American politicians are stupid" (well, I can think of one idiot in the race...). He actually thinks he can resolve things by giving people like Putin a good talking to--this is seriously delusional for someone who obsesses about Rosie O'Donnell and Megyn Kelly....

(Rand Paul 2016). "I honestly have no idea what Mr. Trump’s real philosophy is. He was liberal before he was conservative, and has openly professed for decades that his views are those of a Democrat."
"Four Bankruptcies" Trump is a failed businessman who is NOT a conservative, is a flip-flopper, has openly admitted he's tried to buy political favors (from the likes of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi), goes around saying he's smarter than anyone else, has lied by asserting Mexico is dumping its prisoners at our borders. He's trying to buy the Presidency, he's a thin-skinned demagogue with no political principles or agenda beyond his ego.

(continuation of a Rand Paul 2016 item on Trump)
 I don't know wat polls your looking at all the ones I see show trump leading.
To the Trump cultist: only for the GOP side at present but he does worse than just about anyone against Hillary Clinton: e.g., In NH, Paul beats Clinton by 2, but Clinton beats Trump by 10. in the McClatchy general election poll, Paul is the closest to Clinton by 5 points, Trump loses by 16. Quinnipaic has Trump losing to Clinton by 12, to Sanders by 8. Trump is NOT electable.
