IMO, the Republican party will return, after morphing into a few more dead ends. The TeaBaggers are done, RP is retired and Mini Me draws about as much support as his dad... less than 1%.
Mini Me found a following in an issue (drones) that crossed party lines and crossed lines within HIS Republican party. Other than that Mini Me is just as unelectable as Daddy Paul.
When the Republican party rebuilds, and hopefully it will return soon, it can get back to nominating and electing actual qualified candidates.

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
The same people that define "qualified candidate" define "enemy combatant", and that would be 6 people behind a closed door in a smoke filled room. They've been doing all they can to keep the Pauls out of the room.
~The second longest filibuster was conducted by our own U.S. Sen. Alfonse D'Amato of New York, who spoke for 23 hours and 30 minutes[/b]
Lol! Yeah, D'Amato filibustered a bill that cut military spending. A typical NY Republican. Rand may have been able to go 23 hours if he used the brilliant D'Amato technique of standing on the Senate floor reading from the DC phone book.

Nomination of Charles Timothy Hagel to be Secretary of Defense Nomination Confirmed - by a vote of (58 - 41) RAND PAUL VOTED YES!
Other notable votes by Republican Rand Paul:
Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 Passed (78 - 22) RAND PAUL VOTED NO (apparently Paul supports 'violence against women)
Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (Hurricane Sandy) Bill Passed - (62 - 36) RAND PAUL VOTED NO
Middle Class Tax Cut Act Bill Passed - Senate(51 - 48 ) RAND PAUL VOTED NO
Also: VOTING RECORD (doesn't bother to show up) From Jan 2011 to Mar 2013, Paul missed 23 of 518 roll call votes, which is 4.4%. This is worse than the median of 1.7% among the lifetime records of senators currently serving.
And finally, Randy Paul's effectiveness as a Senator. How did Rand do??? 12 Sponsored Bills - 0 Made Into Law 17 Co-Sponsored Bills 0 Made Into Law (Piss poor )

The tides of history swirl in strange eddies, and the accidental front-page convergence of Paul and Chávez may not be as accidental as all that. Diametrically opposed on many issues as they may be, the Kentucky senator turned quixotic anti-drone filibusterer and the late Venezuelan president who single-handedly renovated socialism for the 21st century made news for essentially the same reason: They stood up on principle against the misguided and ultimately self-destructive imperial-hegemonic role of the United States, and got branded as kooks for doing so. If you want to argue that Chávez really was a kook, or that Paul still is, go ahead. I’m familiar with the evidence, and much of it is tough to refute. But as in Elizabethan drama, it sometimes takes the fool to say things out loud that the king would rather not face

The big government dems and reps are trying to smear Paul early, when they see a threat they amazingly unite to go after it.
