Then that talk show was from the loony right. There's no way Rand becomes president of anything. He's on record saying too many loony things that a huge majority in this country would find very unappealing. What he might do is throw a wrench in the republican field :-) That would be awesome.

Rand is young and has time to ........."mature" .............as a politician. The 21% of Americans who are solid liberal hate him and always will. If he gets wise he certainly could be a player as he appeals to that 51% of the middle in the Esquire/NBC poll that are socially libertarian and fiscally conservative. Both issues he is solid on. Maybe not in 2016 but the following election when Hillary will be pretty worn out.
