Here’s How Rand Paul Wins the Next GOP Debate

4. Audit the Fed

One area where Senator Paul is sure to have a monopoly on discussion points is the Federal Reserve. Many libertarians feel that there is no more important topic when talking about the economy than the Fed. Recently, Senator Paul once again brought light to the topic when he challenged Ben Bernanke to a debate. This was after the former Fed Chairman decried Paul’s plan to Audit the Fed as being “very deceptive.” Paul could certainly bring the Federal Reserve into discussion if any mention of the 2008 recession is made by moderators or other candidates, thereby very much distinguishing himself from the field.

Perhaps no single issue defined Ron Paul‘s legacy as much as the Federal Reserve. By bringing this mysterious institution into the discussion on Wednesday, he can not only bring much-needed attention to the topic, but he can also excite libertarian voters who have been waiting to hear reasons to enthusiastically support the younger Paul. Because of the relatively few people who are knowledgeable on the issue, Paul incurs little-to-no risk of alienating any voting sect by taking time to explain the specifics of the Fed.  Conversely, he could possibly make huge gains with those who note the crisis of the current monetary structure.
