Rand Paul is an idiot. And that's probably an insult to idiots. He'll never be president, just like his father will never be president. He'll pick up the mantle of his whacky father's ideas, and maybe, like his father, he'll run for president a few times. But, like his father, he'll never get any more than maybe 15% of the vote, because (like his father) he believes in stuff that's just never going to appeal to the mainstream in this country.
