Putting aside the above poster's hyperbole, it is in fact true I suspect that about a third of the Pub base would vote for Hillary over Rand, once he is a fully known quantity out there on the Fruited Plain (unless he keeps tacking, and does it skillfully). I certainly would not vote for him, and despite my avatar, I still will probably vote for more Pubs than Dems in the future.
Lol We're way too polarized for that to happen barring Rand Paul killing a baby.
The whole "too polarized" argument is literally based on two presidential elections.
