Meh I'm super stoked for Rand but if you've paid any attention to what the electoral map looks like it's basically impossible for an R to win right now.
Lefty propaganda saturation is at an all time high and Repubs can blame themselves for not getting off the anti-gay bandwagon sooner because that's one of the #1 gateway issues for young people who will then buy all the disastrous economic bullshit that goes along with leftism

Right wing economic policy anymore is just cutting taxes on corporations and appropriating money to defense spending. They don't even decrease government spending, they just
spend differently, ie defense, medicare. You really think this isn't the kind of policy that has destroyed the middle class over the last 30~ years, since Reagan?
Oh yea, and "leftist welfare-state economies" like Germany, Sweden, Australia (before Abbott), Canada, Japan are such disasters right? Those countries perform better than the USA in nearly every way except sheer economic size and military might, and some of them have things like basic income, nearly free tuition, universal medical care, reasonable work culture, labor laws, etc. You see, it turns out that when your government invests in and protects people, instead of actively tries to plunder and exploit them, people thrive.
Americans really deserve everything that has happened since Reagan, just for voting so conservative over the years.
