Rand Paul: Trump's a Fake Conservative

     Is he really Mr. Rand Paul? What would make you say a thing like that?

     We'll see how far Trump can go, but if there's one thing he's succeeded on-besides leading the race-it's in preoccupying the other GOP candidates.

     Jeb can't stop talking about Trump.

    Now it seems that Trump is all Rand Paul wants to talk about.

   "Rand Paul has turned almost his full attention, it seems, to warning the populace that nominating Donald Trump as the Republican Presidential Candidate would be disastrous for the party and guarantee a loss. (Notably, during the debate Thursday night, Trump said he wouldn’t rule out an Independent run if he fails to get the nomination, and many say that this, too, would ensure a GOP loss, by dividing the party.) Paul has spent time over the past two days warning his followers that Trump cannot be president, and that a vote for him as the GOP candidate is tantamount to a vote for Hillary Clinton as president."

   "Thursday night, following the debate, Rand Paul began posting on social media, calling for Republicans to back away from Donald Trump. He began with this clip from the beginning of the debate, in which Trump refuses to say that he wouldn’t attempt an Independent run, even if it would ensure that the Democratic candidate would win the presidential race, and Paul calls him out for “buy[ing] and sell[ing] politicians” and “hedging his bets.” Read more at http://www.inquisitr.com/2321456/rand-paul-donald-trump-will-give-us-hillary/#Rj2jq2jdgrsRV1uX.99

   I think the whole thing about buying and selling politicians is that many appreciate Trump for being honest about it-and as he pointed out, he's given money to Rand as well.

   It's interesting that he says a vote for Trump gives us Hillary when Bill Clinton is telling Jeb that he needs to destroy Trump.

  "On Saturday, Paul spoke further about Donald Trump, calling him a “chameleon” who “was pro-choice before he was pro-life,” “liberal before he was conservative,” and “a Democrat before he was a Republican.”

"He went on to warn, “Ross Perot gave us Bill Clinton and Donald Trump will give us Hillary.”

"On Sunday, three days after the debate, Trump still seems to be a focal point for Paul’s campaign. He shared another clip on social media, this one of himself saying essentially the same things about Trump he’d said in Saturday’s social media post: that Trump is a “chameleon” who has been on both sides of every issue, and that he is going to hand the election to Hillary Clinton."

 This claim about Ross Perot is false but part of Republican mythology. If anything Clinton may have won by more if not for Perot who siphoned from both sides.

 Oh well, Opinions are like you know what-we all have them. Some people care about more than others. We'll see if Rush echoes Rand at 12 pm.
