Rand Paul: Trump ‘Despicable’ for Buying Access to the Clintons
“You look bad! You only have half a brain!'” he joked.
“Sen. Paul does not mention that after trouncing him in golf I made a significant donation to the eye center with which he is affiliated”. In politics, the advantages of talking like a real person – inevitably loopy on some issues, bigoted or backward on others, because real people are never flawless – are questionable, especially in a winner-takes-all electoral system like the US.
Of the 2016 candidates who can be said to be having a “moment” this August, all of them have something in common: They’re outsiders who upend what we traditionally think about politics. He was asked once again to respond to Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. Organized BDSM groups will be using the phrase “Donald Trump” to warn members when they are about to exceed sexual limits or say “something dumbass about menstruation'”. He can’t be, because if he were to actually end up winning the Republican nomination, all our worst fears about the absurdity of American elections would be confirmed once and for all.
Paul’s ad, which his campaign says will play in New Hampshire and Iowa through the weekend, puts together clips of some of Trump’s past political statements, including some from a 2004 interview in which he said, “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat”. Rand Paul’s (R-Kentucky) attack ad on Trump’s record. The indictment stemmed from their time working for the 2012 campaign of Paul’s father, Ron Paul.
Donald Trump who is a showman has co-opted the media with his outrageous outbursts. Despite the appeals, campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said that Trump will continue to finance the campaign, but has “been overwhelmed by unsolicited contributions”.
Wow, that took a while to read.
The Kentucky senator, who has called Trump a “fake conservative”, appears to be the current bearer of the anti-Trump message on behalf of the GOP field: During the blockbuster Fox News Channel debate in Cleveland last week, Paul jumped all over Trump right away on the first question, after Trump refused to pledge support for the party’s eventual nominee.
“Rand Paul is the one following in the footsteps of Reagan, setting the intellectual agenda for a conservative movement of change. He is devoid of ideas other than he likes the idea of power and getting attention for foolish statements and bluster”.
“Donald Trumps life has been as a progressive Democrat”. So in most places the non-PC politicians stand a chance of making their views heard at the highest level and participating in government – but only in constant negotiation with more moderate and disciplined forces.
As for Trump’s golf victory, the Paul team noted that the businessman had an edge because the two played “on his home course that he plays often”.
