Bill Maher has long held Rand Paul in high regard, but certain position shifts on the campaign trail have left Maher increasingly disappointed with the libertarian 2016 candidate. He said Paul didn’t even wait a week into his campaign before “setting fire to everything he used to believe.”
Maher complained that Paul used to be the kind of Republican who, like his father, would “tell a crowd what they didn’t want to hear,” but now he’s “jumped the shark o gay marriage” and dipped his toes into more of the Republican “crazy.”
And the reason Paul’s likely doing it, Maher thought, is because “in the Republican Party, crazy is a constituency.” Which brought him to the crazy conspiracies surrounding Jade Helm 15. Maher said almost no Republicans would dare “call out nutty people for being nutty because they’re not a small group” in the GOP.
As in, "Bill Maher would vote for Rand Paul for President?"
It may be that he is just bloviating show material. However, Bill Maher did say that Rand Paul is the first Republican presidential candidate in a long time that he’d consider voting for. I guess: "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'consider' considers."
Well, Libertarians do support social issues near and dear to the liberal heart -- legal drugs, open borders, legal abortion.
BUT, Libertarians also believe in personal responsibility -- meaning the government isn't there to help you if you f**k up. With freedom comes responsibility.
It's that part the liberals ignore.
Bill Maher will support Rand Paul until he wins the Republican primary, thus insuring a Republican loss in November. (I support Joe Biden as the Democrat nominee for the same reason.)
Then Bill Maher will be all in for Hillary. If Rand Paul starts to gain ground on Hillary, it'll be fun to watch Bill Maher's head explode.

Bill Maher will say anything for laughs, -- he even claims to be a libertarian.
Paulsen --- Well, Libertarians do support social issues near and dear to the liberal heart -- legal drugs, open borders, legal abortion.
They support preventing govt from passing unconstitutional prohibitive 'laws' against personal freedoms. And the 'open border' canard is a silly liberal talking point.

You bet, Bobby. Naturally, you believe in big brother govt, when you slip out of the progressive closet.

I'd bet that Hillary will NOT be the candidate. --Let's hope that Paulsens choice, Joe Biden is ----
