The Pauls do well in votes where the faithful show up.

Not so much when the regular Joe goes to the voting both.

Although the conservative base is getting really, really ticked off at the leadership.

I said a year ago the Republican leadership wanted immigration reform almost as bad as the Democrats.

There's going to be more conservatives voting 3rd party come 2016. After this past week I might be one of them.

At this point I don't care if we get to "liberal utopia" in 5 years or 10.
