Top 7 Reasons Why Rand Paul Will Be the GOP Nominee

3. Slow and steady wins the race.

It may seem cliché, but it remains a fact in Presidential primary politics that no race has ever been won in August. While it may be discouraging to see Senator Paul topped in polling by so many of his Republican competitors, these risers will no doubt face much more scrutiny as they become taken more seriously by news outlets. Meanwhile, Paul is able to “fly under the radar,” plodding along quietly as others commit unforced errors.

There have been far too many instances of candidates rising and falling in polling at this point to list them all, but history seems to suggest that precipitous gains over the course of campaigns are of much more importance than rapid skyrocketing to the top of the field. If Paul can steadily build upon his following, he will find himself in a good position once the first ballots are cast.
