Rand Paul for President: Is Rand Paul Using His Father’s Campaign to Lay the Groundwork for 2016?

Ron Paul’s campaign for President has, according to most observers, lost any trace of hope that it could somehow be a relevant force in this year’s election. That is, assuming the elder Paul doesn’t run on a third party ticket, which he has said he won’t.

But what if Ron Paul‘s 2012 run isn’t the point? What if Ron Paul 2012 is, in fact, a well-coordinated dress rehearsal for a far more serious campaign on behalf of Paul’s son, Senator Rand Paul, come 2016? Business Insider thinks that’s the story that might be developing:

The younger Paul’s prospective campaign is still four, or eight, years away, but the junior Senator appears to be taking all the right steps to position himself for when the time comes. Later this month Rand will return to Iowa — without his father — to deliver the keynote speech at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalitions spring rally — the most obvious indication yet that Sen. Paul has his own presidential ambitions.

“He loves Iowa,” Sen. Paul’s communications director Moira Bagley told Business Insider. “He’s been out there so much, with his dad’s campaign, so he’s really comfortable and really happy with the people out in Iowa, and especially the evangelical groups.”[...]

Business Insider has learned that Sen. Paul has even been approached about a possible trip to Israel with Christian activist David Lane, a conservative kingmaker whose “Pastor Policy Briefings” helped launch Mike Huckabee’s political star in 2008.[...]

Lane‘s interest in Rand’s Israel positions also underscores the opportunity that the younger Paul has to rewrite parts of the narrative about the Ron Paul movement, specifically regarding national security and foreign policy issues. Although the two Pauls positions are mostly similar, Rand Paul appears to have the political instincts and finesse that his father so endearingly lacks.

This last point could mark an encouraging turn for the many people who have long wanted to harness the Paul campaign‘s youthful energy without necessarily accepting the candidate’s more anti-American sentiments regarding foreign policy. More to the point, Rand Paul’s successful insurgency in 2010 shows that he is capable of coming up against the GOP establishment at a national level, while also working with them once the primary was over to defeat a Democrat.

Is Rand Paul the Presidential candidate of the future GOP? Weigh in below.

      What people don’t realize is that his father is a VERY wise man. I would like to see Rand as his dad’s VP and then Run for Presidency for the longest Paul family Dynasty that would finally bring some Patrick Henry common sense back to this country. 16 Years of the greatest liberty bomb ever. Do not mistake Ron Paul for a pacifist, he has stated that if we are threatened and CONGRESS felt it was in our National security and made a proper declaration of WAR, he would enforce and conduct that war in the most efficient and quickest means to obtain victory. No nation building, just a destroyed enemy emitting no more threats. People must stop with their ridiculous “I like him but his foreign policy scares me” . This is media brainwash crap. For anyone to say that Ron Paul would not defend this county’s liberty is a fool. The ideal that we can’t be diplomatically engaged to promote peace and trade, speak softly but carry big stick is unproductive and encourages confrontations which ends up costing us TRILLIONS of dollars in the end and does little to secure the peace. As Ron has said our policy is what is instigating a lot of the bad behavior around the world. BLOW BACK!!!! The CIA termed it blowback in a congressional briefing.. People need to stop being so scared of boogey men. The United States still retains the means to ASSURE DESTRUCTION!!!!

      Yes, and Ron Paul really only has about 40 delegates, but the media is reporting that he has almost 100. That is because they are making an educated guess about who unbound delegates will vote for, not because it is part of their blatant effort to marginalize Ron Paul.

      That is right, it is far from over. The media is a disgrace, including Fox News and The Blaze, in the lack of coverage for the historical energy behind Ron Paul, as we saw with 4000 people in pouring rain in Philadelphia recently.

      Either the Republicans elect Ron Paul as the front runner, or the vote will be split between Mitt and Gary Johnson and Ron Paul as a write in, and you will end up with Obama again!

      The fact is that Ron Paul has been right for 30 years! Click on the links below to see for yourself. Perhaps this will help you to think for yourself as well, instead of listening to Fox, that are in the tank for the establishment Republicans!

      “…or the vote will be split between Mitt and Gary Johnson and Ron Paul as a write in…”

      You severely overestimate the number of people that will to vote 3rd party. For example; I am going to vote for Ron Paul in my state’s upcoming primary, however I am definitely going to vote for Mitt Romney in the general, as he will obviously be the nominee.

      Most people are smart enough to realize that a second term for Obama would be disastrous, and will not trash their vote on Gary Johnson or any other 3rd party candidate.

      Ron Paul has 40 delegates…in two states, Colorado and Minnesota each have 20 Paul delegates and Minnesota isn’t even done electing delegates to national. Many other caucus states are having similar results. Better question is why, when the race is far from over, are people like Hannity and Limbaugh, alleged conservatives, are carrying Romney’s water for him, pretending he’s got it all sewn up? Imagine what it would do for Paul if these phonies actually treated him fairly and started promoting him like they did with Cain, Santorum and Gingrich. Rush, et al. are every bit as corrupt as the so-called mainstream media.

      I confess I have a man crush on Rand Paul. I love his dad as well but we must all acknowledge that in a country like America where such large swaths of the population are entirely ignorant and superficial appearances do matter.

      I’m almost to the point even with Ron Paul winning state after state with Delegates to encouraging him to run 3rd Party. The filthy Neo-Con establishment isn’t offering us one thing. Although we are prepared to totally take this Party back in 2016 so maybe we just sit back and watch Romney lose it.. Bottom line on a scale of 1-10 with Obama being a 10 (bad for the country and Constitution); Romney is 8. That’s not good enough folks. And when you start throwing in names like Christy or Rubio that puts him up to a 9!

      Regardless Rand Paul is a man among boys.. Never like to esteem or exalt people too much because we are all so fallible but Rand is the man! As good as Rand is do you know he barely won the KY Senatorial race.. That Democrat that he beat reminded me very much of Bill Clinton – a consummate liar but looked good doing it.. Funny thing about Obama is that he’s so pathetic his lies are not even believable. He’d absurd but that’s where we are at today.. Demographics are about to overcome us all.

      @MrSuperPat My problem with Paul isn‘t that I think he is a pacifist or that he wouldn’t fight if we are threatened. My problem is that his thinking is that we sit back and wait until we are threatened or attacked rather than proactively trying to prevent such things from happening. I do agree that if we are going to war with someone that this whole business of bombing them into the dust and then spending years trying to rebuild them so that we can make nice is most of the time a waste of time and money. But my fear that Paul will not be pro active and rather reactive when it comes to dealing with threats to this country from others is what keeps me from voting for him sorry. You can’t be reactive or under estimate your enemy or you will get burnt.

      Get ready GOP, I have been telling you about all this for quite some time and a lot of you dismissed it. Romney supporters are not as co-ordinated or excited about their candidate and that will hurt him. We will see what Texas and California bring and see you at the convention. If nothing else, we are going to change the GOP for the better no matter what anyone says. All Ron Paul supporters listen closely, vote for Paul on the first round no matter what state you are from. Let’s kick some butt. If the GOP continues to fraud the vote, we will make sure their pick does not win the general. That way we can look at Rand in four years. Pass this on everywhere.

You do not seem to care about the Republic, but your own sense of well being in your pocketbook, which Romney will not help. You are still a blind sheeple that listens to the campaign promises of liers who’s sole purpose is to be President. I am tired of broken campaign promises from elite candidates that promise the moon, and everyone knows that nobody can promise the moon. Government cannot create jobs, get that through you thick head. Paul supporters are looking at the big picture, and that is if Romney gets the nomination, we will do all we can to keep him from being elected. If he is elected, it will be 8 years before we have a chance to put in a true constitutionalist. If Obama is in, it is only 4 years. The GOP is going to pay for the fraud that they have done in this primary. I nothing else, Gary Johnson has won the Libertarian nomination and is a better choice than Romney. All you stubborn Republicans are doing the party an injustice by listening to the media and believing what they say.

      Paul still has a good chance though. You asked where do we get our numbers? From real media sources. The GOP is being taken over by Paul supporters and in 4 years, the party will be different. You have nobody to blame but yourselves.

Rule 38 tells us that no delegate is bound to any candidate on the first round. WOW. I can tell you that about half of Romneys delegates are Paul supporters. Bummer for you huh? I cannot wait til the convention. It will be surrounded by over 20,000 active duty and veterans for Ron Paul, Paul will have 1122 + supporters as delegates. There is going to be an uproar, it will be the best convention to watch on TV ever. Paul is gaining traction, more are coming to his side. We have a huge network teaching the rules of the state primaries and caucuses. It is awsome. Ron Paul 2012, Ran Pau next.

      The common sense Ron Paul has is Constitutionally based. What lack of common sense are You referring to? Check out the Ron Paul (Youtube) rally and speech this past week – 6K in attendance.
      Ron Paul looked and acted like a Prez. The group was on fire. If you think Paul is off base on his agenda, Your either uninformed or a marxist.

      You’re the one “lacking” common sense. Just because Ron Paul doesn’t beat his chest, and talk in tidy little sound bites, doesn’t mean a lack of common sense. Maybe you should try reading one of his books.
      Sure, he’s not the best orator in the country, but he’s the ONLY one who has a grasp on economic policy. He’s also the ONLY one who has proposed a REAL economic plan to save this country from going off of a financial and societal cliff.
      Did you see him debate
      Economic Professor Paul Krugman on CNBC the other day? No other candidate has been invited on the financial channels other than Paul. That‘s because they couldn’t have an intelligent conversation.
      Romney would have lasted about 2 minutes in that 22 minute debate before he started rambling about saving the Olympics, yada, yada, yada..

      You accusing Paul of “lacking common sense” is most likely due to some talking point you heard from Fox News, or Beck about foreign policy.
      Just remember you accuse the military of lacking common sense as well, since they have donated more money to Paul than ALL of the others COMBINED. INCLUDING Ohmamma.
      No one knows more about flawed foreign policy than those who have had to go there and fight. Think about that next time you pop off about “common sense.”

      He hasn’t won any of the “contest” (read: Beauty Contest) but contests don’t win nominations, delegates do. By winning these “contest” Romney isn’t awarded a point that you write on a chalk board never to be changed. He is merely the recommended person for the delegates of that state to vote for. Those delegates are people, individuals with free will. Ron Paul supporters happen to be taking the most initiatives to become delegates. Now it’s a matter of whether or nor they will follow the recommendations that these so called “contest” dictate, which from the rules of the convention seems to indicate, they are not necessarily bound to cast a vote for any particular candidate.

      I am a strong Ron Paul supporter. While I know his chances are great, he does have a chance. And I still have hope for real freedom in my lifetime…..

      Be careful Paul supporters. Time_2_Be_Childish might give you that fearsome scowl.
      What a joke.
      When anonymous internet posters constantly brag about what an amazing combat soldier they were in the military, how big and strong they are, and how their scowl could make people run away in fear, they are usually some loser nerd in their moms basement.
      If he really is a big, strong, battle-tested veteran, then he has some serious personality defects. Guys I know personally who fit that description would never brag about themselves and would never act like childish bullies, spreading lies about good Christian conservatives.
      Everything about Time_2_Troll comes across as phony. He calls himself conservative while he supports big-government, un-constitutional intrusions. He implies he is Christian while he posts vile, personal attacks and blatant lies about good people.
      I will give him credit for one thing. He’s very good at what is obviously his sole purpose on The Blaze… aggravating Ron Paul supporters. After all, I have a personal internet policy of not “feeding the trolls”, but when it comes to this phony, I’ve been sucked in several times. I’ve attempted to have a civil debate with him. It’s not possible.

      @COUS – Amen to what you said. I’ve been very quiet here for some time, and the usual agitators just don’t seem to give up. I’d say their dedication to follow-the-statist-neocon-bash-paul Radio hosts, News hosts and other irrational so called ‘Christian Leaders’ who love war are more to blame for this country’s downfall into selective constitutionalism and loss of liberty than any democrat communist. At least the democrats are fairly up-front that they love top-down government, redistribution, community property. So-called conservatives are enslaving themselves to the same top-down structure, with just a slightly modified version of it from religious leaders. My favorite is the those who display Fire Obama stickers on their cars while they supported Bush’s shredding of the constitution since 9/11 forward with bailouts, wars, expanded police state. We’re having fun here in California, I think we’re going to get 120 of the near 200 delegates for the good Dr. Many of us are working very hard to save a semblance of Liberty for our children’s future, the rest of the so-called conservatives are working towards electing the most milk-toast candidate (Romney) who is as stale, boring and polished up a a 1980′s Ken Doll.

You in particular are out of your element. Stick to topics like the legalization of drugs and prostitution where you and most other Paul worshippers have some experience. Another topic Paul acolytes are good at is bashing Conservatives/Republicans and Patriotic Law abiding Americans. You part-time Dems really shine there…

      Time_2_Troll,

      How predictable that your reply would be to accuse me of being a drug abusing, whoremongering, Democrat. The fact is I’m a 50 year old conservative (I really do want small government), have never used any illegal drug, or even alcohol, have been married to the same woman for 26 completely faithful years, and have never voted for a Democrat. I‘m also a 27 year police officer so I’m definitely not “out of my element” when it comes to recognizing liars, bullies, and hypocrites. You’re too easy.

      If you really are a veteran your boorish behavior here disgraces both yourself and the veterans who conduct themselves in an honorable manner.

      Yes – but no way they will. They had all their bases covered before their invasion. The Senate, like West said, has about 80 Communists, majority — they have to approve of it too and they won’t. Also the DOJ will try to drag it out as much to their advantage, takes months — and most don’t want to “go there” b/c they’re selfish cowards and only worried about re-election, “pc”, etc. Plus I’m sure some are being threatened. People don’t seem to understand how serious, deep and dire this is. That‘s why it’s ABO in Nov. & do everything you can now to fight these enemies “within”.
