Well, I think we can all agree that it was not a debate. I think that we can also agree that the CNN people wanted to focus on Donald Trump and Carly Fiorino. Interesting, that Mr. Trump was quoted as saying that he thought it unfair to the other candidates to give him so much attention at their expense. Bravo, Donald. And I guess it is fair game that Mr. Trump attacked Senator Paul because Senator Paul broadcast in his blog that he intended to blast Mr. Trump. However, the candidates and the media need to focus on substance and not entertainment.
In this area I believe that Senator Rand Paul is the clear winner. He has a cohesive and comprehensive plan for the USA. He is a man who has already defined the issues. This can be seen by the many candidates who are copying Senator Paul’s statements about marijuana convictions, about Syria and the need to stop arming rebels against the legitimate government of Syria, and about the Federal Reserve and lack of transparency. Senator Paul is popular among his fellow Senators because he has clear ideas and does not attack and besmirch the intentions of his fellow senators. Rand Paul is quiet and not flashy which is something media commentators dislike. They want flash and fire because it is good television. Senator Paul prefers quiet, rational, and reasonable conversation in order to bring about change and not merely to sell himself as an entertaining personality.
Senator Paul and many of the candidate put out their own information through the Internet. This is really great. I subscribe to all of them. Yes, that means they also email me for money. That’s okay. It is what they are supposed to do. How else are they going to get the millions of dollars it costs citizens who want to help their county? But it is a very good way to hear what each candidate wants to say without the filter of the media.
