When you get through the talking points and rhetoric and focus on what they actually DO, there's not very much difference between the two parties any longer.
Corporatism and statism rule the political landscape now.
I could see myself supporting Rand Paul, but the fact that he doesn't have the money behind him and the GOP establishment against him lead me to believe that he's not going to get the nomination.
So far as I know, there is only one serious candidate for President who supports an end to "corporatism", if by corporatism you mean the use of corporate money to control and influence politicians. His name is Bernie Sanders.
Rand Paul never had a chance at the nomination anyway; he is destined to be another perennial also-ran like his father.
