Nice analysis, thank you very much. I also believe that Rand Paul's methodology is extremely effective to the average viewer who is not particularly informed. Rand Paul comes across as someone who does NOT have an ax to grind, who is willing to give the Fraudster the benefit of the doubt, but is extremely pained by his repeated lies. That is in my view extremely powerful and as you correctly note, difficult to discount. He is after all arguing on the basis of medicine and public health, not politics. In contrast the Fraudster is a political demagogue.
