You are spot on. populist rantings Paul's biggest draw back is that he is an isolationist. Beside which his explanation of many issues lack a bit of reality. We may not like taxes, big government , etc and paul' claim that he will reduce them . The problem is that honest people can disagree about what high taxes mean or how small government should be. Beside which it will take years before anything like this would ever happen, if it could in the first place
