Rand Paul: 'Chamber of Commerce Republican' Can't Win White House

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said a stale and moderate establishment Republican preferred by the Chamber of Commerce cannot win the White House in 2016.

Chamber of Commerce is fine, I was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, but a Chamber of Commerce Republican is not going to win a national election,” Paul said on Saturday, according to Politico. “I’m not saying we give up on what we believe in, but we have to expand what we believe in.”

Paul, a potential 2016 presidential contender who has indicated even Kentucky law may not prevent him from simultaneously running for the White House and re-election to the Senate, told the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas that it was time for a "liberty moment" because "no longer something that scares people. It’s what [makes] people say, we can’t run the same-old same-old, we’re not going to win with the same-old, same-old."

He is correct.. Establishment republicans cannot win... Out with the old in with the new. Mr Harris needs to start providing action instead of just huffing and puffing. That house ain't 'blowing' down.

To me Mitt is the only person with the know how to turn this country around.

He is going to trip himself up. The minute he announces he is running for president, Kentucky is going to say he cannot run for senate. Bye Bye

I'm thinking a bold new strategy - quit talking about fiscal responsibility, morality,less intrusive and overbearing government, and personal accountability-- the Republican candidate should promise everyone a $2500 a month check, free medical care, open borders, free cars and phones (it works GREAT for the Democrats), then do what obama has done over and over and over again, to the wild cheering of the "poor me" population---- break all those promises, flaunt the law and do whatever he likes.
BRILLIANT!!
