To sum up his analysis, Rand was right to endorse Romney because in order for Rand to get what he wants, he has to play politics. We just have to hope that what he wants is what we want too. Problem is, that's like using the One Ring to Rule Them All to try to do good. If he uses it once, will he use it again and again and again? If this is a good reason to endorse Romney, will there be more "good reasons" to do similar things down the road? Will it ever stop? If it doesn't then Rand will end up just like them. Ron was known as "Dr. No" for the precise reason that he never sold his vote on one bill to gain someone else's on another. He never used The Ring.

I do agree with the pragmatic observation. Ron has repeatedly demonstrated a pragmatic approach to his actions, and I think that's why he's held his Congressional seat for so long and I don't take issue with that, and maybe this is part of what we're seeing. Maybe Rand knows what he's doing. Maybe we'll see.

I didn't know that Ron essentially conceded the R race prior to the endorsement which is/was perhaps my biggest beef. So maybe that's explained, at least.

Problem is, that's like using the One Ring to Rule Them All to try to do good.

In for a penny, in for a pound, and there is no telling where this sort of compromise may end unless it results in some degree of pull with respect to the more egregious aspects of militant globalism and the more unwelcome sorts of domestic compromise we'd expect should Romney get the White House. And should the Current Occupant retain the office, Rand will have to some extent disarmed the Pubbie competition on the part of that whole ugly gang that we, thankfully won't be hearing too much from in the next little while.

So far so good. But this whole analysis relies on a parcel of ceteris paribus assumptions that we can continue to steam along the way we have been and that we don't hit any major rocks or shoals. We are all aware that potential catastrophes of one sort or another loom on the horizon. The world financial system is about to bust a seam, and is only being held together with baling wire, and as we speak, it seems that the Wise Guys are prepositioning all our heavy hardware for a major conflict. There is also the prospect of a large false flag coming out of left field.

But yeah, if circumstances remain the same, the analysis in the video is very good, and we can sit back in our armchairs confident that Rand has bitten the bullet and made the necessary hard but pragmatic compromise. If recent history teaches us anything though, it is that life is full of unpleasant surprises.
