Ron Paul Warns Rand: You Could Win in 2016

Tell Leno he has not discussed a presidential run with his son

Former Rep. Ron Paul has some advice for his son, Sen. Rand Paul, if he decides to run for president: Be careful.

But it might not be why you'd think.

"I would say be very cautious, you could get elected," the elder Paul, a Texas Republican, joked on "The Tonight Show" on Thursday night.

No. No, he can't.

He has principles and a spine, so yeah, probably not.

Reagan had principles and a spine, and he won. Unfortunately for us, he also believed that he needed to make nice with the eastern establishment douchebag contingent of the party, so he let them foist that goddamned CIA spook on him as VP.
