Rand Paul tied for 2nd in Utah, Bush 18%, Paul 9%, Trump 9%, Walker 8%...While no candidate enjoys majority support, Utahns seem to be edging toward Republican Jeb Bush and Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race. A new UtahPolicy.com survey finds 18% of Utahns back Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush in the GOP race. That's more than double the support of his closest rivals in the Beehive State. Both businessman Donald Trump and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul get 9% in our survey. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker pulls 8% while Florida Senator Marco Rubio wins 7%. Both New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Texas Senator Ted Cruz sit at 6%. The number of Utahns, who expressed no preference, is 14%.

Seems like a Highlight Reel Donald Trump mocks Rand Paul, calls on him to quit presidential race http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/08/12/new-rand-paul-video-basically-calls-donald-trump-a-closet-democrat/Donald Trump couldn't set the intellectual conservative agenda of anything, not even the tiniest rooms, never mind a country. He is devoid of ideas other than he likes the idea of power and getting attention for foolish statements and bluster.

In depth interview with Rand Paul in New Hampshire via the state's main news outlet - The Union Leader. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzhbvRj-WS8Hopefully, a good portion of this made the nightly news to give the live free or die folks a decent understanding of Rand.

Judge Nap: Chris Christie, Rand Paul and the Fourth AmendmentThe dust-up between New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul over presidential fidelity to the Constitution -- particularly the Fourth Amendment -- was the most illuminating two minutes of the Republican debate last week. It is a well-regarded historical truism that the Fourth Amendment was written by victims of government snooping, the 1770s version. The Framers wrote it to assure that the new federal government could never do to Americans what the king had done to the colonists. What did the king do? He dispatched British agents and soldiers into the colonists’ homes and businesses ostensibly looking for proof of payment of the king’s taxes and armed with general warrants issued by a secret court in London. A general warrant did not name the person or place that was the target of the warrant, nor did it require the government to show any suspicion or evidence in order to obtain it. The government merely told the secret court it needed the warrant -- the standard was “governmental need” -- and the court issued it. General warrants authorized the bearer to search wherever he wished and to seize whatever he found. The Fourth Amendment requires the government to present to a judge evidence of wrongdoing on the part of a specific target of the warrant, and it requires that the warrant specifically describe the place to be searched or the person or thing to be seized. The whole purpose of the Fourth Amendment is to protect the right to be left alone -- privacy -- by preventing general warrants. The evidence of wrongdoing that the government must present in order to persuade a judge to sign a warrant must constitute probable cause. Probable cause is a level of evidence sufficient to induce a neutral judge to conclude that it is more likely than not that the government will find what it is looking for in the place it wants to search, and that what it is looking for will be evidence of criminal behavior.

Rand Paul leaves the campaign trail for eye surgeries in HaitiThis weekend, while the political world descends on Iowa's state fairgrounds, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) will be fixing cataracts 2000 miles away. As he's done every summer recess since joining the Senate, Paul's performing pro bono eye surgery. This year's mission, run and sponsored by the Moran Eye Center from the University of Utah, will take Paul to Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. "We kind of suggested it," said Paul in an interview. "There was talk about Haiti being in great need, and it's fairly close to the United States. Haiti, unfortunately, is famous for a long history of problems." In 2014, Paul joined the Moran center on a similar trip to Guatemala, where he reunited with old patients and broke out his rusty, Texas-tutored Spanish. He has no similar connection to Haiti. "You want to go where the need is greatest," Paul said. "In our country, when you have cataracts, they're relatively easy to fix. The people we will treat in Haiti -- many of them will be completely blind. There's less medical access there. It's closer to the equator. There's more sun, people are outside more, fewer people even have sunglasses. So there's a lot you can do." ... http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/08/14/rand-paul-leaves-the-campaign-trail-for-eye-surgeries-in-haiti/

Paul Campaign Not Collapsing, But Pacing Itself for 2016 VictoryWith the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary still months away, pundits are ready to declare U.S. Senator Rand Paul’s campaign for the presidency dead on arrival. Reality star Donald Trump currently dominates Republican presidential primary polling and has captured the interest of some Tea Party voters who are as-yet unaware of his recent support of far-left political positions and his close, personal relationship with the Clinton family. In the eyes of the corporate media, the 2016 presidential race can only end with some combination of Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump on the general election ballot, with the Republican primary being the determinant of whether Trump runs under the GOP brand or goes third party and hands the race to Clinton. However, identical narratives were advanced at similar points in the 2008 presidential race, when pundits in 2007 were sure that voters would be choosing between Hillary Clinton and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the general election. In August of 2011, Michele Bachmann became the frontrunner in the 2012 Republican primary after winning Iowa’s Ames Straw Poll only to drop completely out of the race after placing sixth in the Iowa caucuses. Meat and potatoes... http://truthinmedia.com/donegan-paul-campaign-not-collapsing-but-pacing-itself-for-2016-victory/

Ron Paul sends out a donor pitch for RandThe headlines neatly tell the story. "Ron Paul’s Passive-Aggressive Campaign Against Rand Paul." Rand Paul Has a Daddy Issue." "Like Father, Like Son? Not Exactly." Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has endeavored so much to distinguish his "libertarian-ish" views from his father's "voluntarist" politics that any snark from the paterfamilias generates a story. He'll joke that he's still looking at who to endorse; it will be reported like Saturn devouring his offspring. There will be no snark this weekend. As Rand Paul heads out of the country for a medical mission to Haiti, Ron Paul will make a print and e-mail pitch to donors. It is his first such email on Rand Paul's behalf since the April 7 start of his presidential bid. "I know the media likes to play this little game where they pit us, or certain views, against each other," the elder Paul will write, according to excerpts provided by the younger Paul's campaign. "Don't fall for it. They're trying to manufacture story lines at liberty's expense. You've spent years seeing how the media treated me. They aren't my friends and they aren't yours." In the e-mail, Ron Paul will say that the enemies of liberty "fear Rand more than any other candidate," and that "unlike other candidates, Rand isn't depending on Wall Street fat-cats and banksters who want more special treatment, bailouts and stimulus packages to bankroll his candidacy." The "banksters" language is a mainstay of Ron Paul's own fundraising appeals, which roll out of his Campaign for Liberty as frequently as CDs used to roll out of Columbia House (R.I.P.). It can be read as a knock on, well, anyone else; the libertarian reader might think first of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), whose fundraising has lapped Paul's with the help of hedge funds. Cruz's campaign has already been trying to pull support from Paul, taking advantage of a polling slump that some libertarians blame -- ironically -- on the candidate's attempts to broaden his appeal. Ron Paul's letter addresses this directly. More... http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/08/14/ron-paul-finally-sends-out-a-donor-pitch-for-rand/

On one hand I think Trump is in this thing to throw the ball to Hillary and let her run the show but on the other, it seems awful strange for a front-runner to engage and give words to and towards Rand who is seemingly down in the polls atm. Rand and Trump have golfed together before (which could mean nothing) and he's donated money toward Rand's last trip to Guatemala in last summer's bout of pro bono eye surgeries so perhaps this fiasco of words could lead to Rand rising. We'll see.

Thanks for your input.

The Rand camp and volunteers/donors are feeling down atm but I would hope many of them would rise to the next occasion and be ready for the next fight. There is so much left to come our way that we should all be powerful happy about what he's attempting so stay happy and ready to him go up in the polls from this early on.

Rand Paul vows to foot bill for switch to caucus in KyThe change would allow the GOP senator to be on the ballot for Senate and president at once.Rand Paul, trying to head off a rebellion back home, promised Monday to fully pay for changes to his state’s presidential nominating process that would allow him to seek two different offices in 2016. The Kentucky GOP freshman is trying to convince his state’s central GOP committee to change Kentucky’s presidential primary to a caucus system instead. By holding a caucus, in which voters organize by local precinct and choose their preferred candidate, Paul believes he can circumvent the state’s prohibition that candidates cannot appear on the ballot for two offices at the same time. The senator is running for reelection to his Senate seat in 2016, as well. More... http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/rand-paul-promises-pay-kentucky-caucus-121443.html#ixzz3j6D8uuFo
