The Rand Paul Bump
Rand Paul’s poll numbers are on the rise and Hillary’s are going down.
COLORADO: Paul 44 – Clinton 41
IOWA: Paul 43 – Clinton 42
VIRGINIA: Clinton 47 – Paul 43
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s lead is wilting against leading Republican presidential candidates in three critical swing states, Colorado, Iowa and Virginia, and she finds herself in a close race with U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky in each state, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released today.
In head-to-head matchups, every Republican candidate effectively ties her in Colorado and almost all Republicans effectively tie her in Iowa (with Rand Paul surpassing). Secretary Clinton has lost ground in almost every matchup in Colorado and Iowa since a February 18 Swing State Poll by the independent Quinnipiac University….
Voters in each state say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy. Her overall favorability has dropped significantly in Colorado and Iowa, while Virginia is unchanged. Favorability ratings for the Republicans are lackluster, at best.”

–UPDATE–
For Grassroots Supporters: I have some advice on Rand Paul – and it’s critical. Anyone on Rand’s team, any supporters, and even Rand himself need to work a very important message into every conversation surrounding his candidacy for President.
That message is winning. Rand Paul is going to win. This movement is more mature, more intelligent, more strategic, and more focused than it’s ever been.
Our ideas, our philosophy, does not need to be defended like you think it does. This race is about winning the White House. And Rand is going to. So when people ask you about Rand Paul, don’t just talk ideas. Talk about the next President of the United States.
It’s called a “win psychology” and without it, we might as well not even waste our breath.
But with it; We. Will. Win.
