"'Thirty minutes into the show, I had said more at this event than the guy who was there to announce his candidacy for president,' Stewart said."

*  All the GOP has for the 2016 presidential horse race is a bunch of broken down nags. None of them will cross the finish line.
    *   They don't even qualify as horses. I think of them as pretentious gerbils.
*   More "Take America Back" talk.  That's pretty much become a not-so-subtly coded tagline for racism. Take America back from what, exactly? Where did America go? Who stole America? Remember, this little catch phrase became popular right after the other-than-white guy got elected.  Unless he's implying that he'd take America back to the mid 19th century. But we all know that's every Republican's plan anyway.
*  ....and what's with the "with God's help" nonsense? That's a phrase that every religious kook who blows people in the market uses as a crutch to justify their insanity.  Do you need God's help, Mr. Paul? Maybe the Tooth Fairy can give you a hand too. I dunno, I think I'd rather vote for somebody who doesn't rely on divine intervention to get stuff done.

Jon Stewart Shows How Weird Rand Paul's Presidential Announcement Was
By Ed Mazza, April 8, 2015



Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) made his big announcement on Tuesday, telling a crowd in Louisville that he's running for president in 2016.

But as Jon Stewart pointed out on Tuesday night's "Daily Show," it took a while to get there.

Before Paul went onstage, there were multiple speakers, the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, the singing of the national anthem and several video presentations -- including one that featured a clip from "The Daily Show."

“Thirty minutes into the show, I had said more at this event than the guy who was there to announce his candidacy for president,” Stewart said.

Along with taking forever to get to the announcement, there were a few weird moments, like when former congressman J.C. Watts (R-Okla.) slipped and said Paul would become “the next United States of America," as well as a very excited young man in the audience.

Check it out in the clip above.
