Paul is scheduled to declare his candidacy at a rally in Louisville, Ky. Paul, 52, joins Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in a race that has attracted the interest of more than a dozen potential GOP candidates. He is also simultaneously running for re-election to his Senate seat.

"... hoping to remake the Republican Party with a mix of libertarian and conservative ideals that can attract minorities and young people..."

So....a middle aged white guy from Kentucky is the right person to attract minorities and young people.....

We'll see where this goes....

He won't attract the bulk of the traditional Republican electorate ,and he won't be able to cobble a new coaliton. His father was never able to go beyond a fringe candidate and that will be the fate of his 'legacy candidate ' son.

As he has tried to put distance between himself and his old man ,he has weakened his support from his own base . Last election he supported Mitch McConnell in a primary against a tea party candidate . That may have been a pragmatic move that serves his position as a Senator; but it proved that he is willing to compromise his principles when it's expedient .

What he can do well and clearly spell out the issues about Obamacare and to lay out an alternative . But I do not trust his foreign policy instincts . Since he plans to announce with USS Yorktown as a backdrop shows that he thinks he's vulnerable on the issue too.

I think attacking a program that is generally popular with younger and minority voters is a strategy that will fail to get much traction.....
