Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul lashed out at Donald Trump during a campaign event Saturday in South Carolina, arguing conservatives can’t trust the New York businessman because he has “been on both sides of every issue.”
“My goodness,” Paul said in Goose Creek to the Berkeley County GOP. “He’s been on both sides of every issue. Where is our sense? Where is our common sense?”
Added the Kentucky senator: “This is a guy who has been pro-choice before he was pro-life. This is a guy who was liberal before he was conservative. This is a guy who was a Democrat before he was a Republican before he was a Democrat before he was an independent before he was back to being a Republican.”
“I have no idea if he’s conservative,” Paul said. “We are kidding ourselves to even consider someone who is such a chameleon that he’s been on every side of every issue. Wake up America. Wake up Republicans!”
Paul and Trump have been feuding since the senator went on offense against Trump during Thursday’s Republican debate.
“How can we have Tea Party conservatives in our country think somehow Donald Trump is going to help us?” Paul said. “He’s the consummate insider. What’s wrong with Washington? People buying and selling politicians. What’s Donald Trump known for? Buying and selling politicians.”

Like when he panders to the anti-cop/race grievance crowd? Rand Paul comes off as a whiney, effeminate little girl. He will never be President.
I hate agreeing with Trump...
But yes, you are in for a lot of posts filled with venom and hate...
The wheels are coming off...
Rand and his dad are two people I wouldn’t vote for. Hardly anyone on the forum would.
And yet they are very useful to people doing the GOPe’s handy-work.
As long as Trump is selling Conservatism to the nation, I’ll gladly join his cult. I joined Ronald Reagan’s cult too.
No, I won’t sock it to you and I’m supporting Cruz. But Paul behaved disgracefully at the debate - as bad as Megan and allegedly as bad as Trump. He cut into Trump’s first statement, turned bright red and his Medusa curls sprang into irate action as he denounced Trump on Trump’s own time. I wish Trump had been familiar enough with debates to have asked for an extra 30 seconds.
He look so SMALL at the debate I thought he should leave as the Donald said to him your not having a good night.
Rand had a good debate, utterly destroyed Crisp Crispy.
What Rand Paul says is 100% correct.
The rubes here don’t want to hear it, “Donald yelled at some Mexicans, I love him, Go Donald!”
Did any of us support Romney in 2012? No.
We supported the best Conservatives we could.
What happened?
We went through the early open primaries and Romney built up a delegate count that assured him the nomination.
Okay, we drive Trump out. How does that hot happen to Cruz and Walker, giving us the GOPe heart-throb, Jeb?
Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney...
How many times does this have to happen before we try something else?
Is Trump worse than Jeb?
I’m sure I’m about to be told yes over and over.
That’s how silly some folks have gotten.
Not another little temper tantrum from the nerdy Rand Paul?
Not just silly, but downright unhinged, imagining conspiracy theories where Trump-— whose business and career has been damaged because of his run— is actually causing all kinds of problems for himself just to get Hillary Clinton into the white house. That’s what these clowns are telling us in different threads.
Light years from a cult. Guys like Rand Paul are losing and they know it.
Wait until next year after ¡Yeb! has been nominated.
Is this the same Rand Paul who embraced the Trans-Pacific Partnership?
Pot, meet Kettle Black.
You are the most venomous poster around...and you use poor grammar?;-)
At least Trump is headed in the right direction.
I prefer Cruz, but if it comes down to Trump versus Hill...I know who I'm voting for.
How bout you, MOUTH?
By the way, bad move provoking Laz. He is our neighborhood Jack Nicholson.
He will haunt you, mouth.
He's outside of your house right now.
Something wrong with yelling at Mexicans? I do it all the time.
It has never been more clear how out-of-control the puppetmasters and their media mouthpieces are. Most people back down long before it's reached the level it has with Trump. Every "conservative" going along with the mainstream attempting to take down Trump is part of the problem. Now, they're compromised, and they should realize they're never gonna' be handed the prize, unless they completely sell out.
I submit that the only way things can change is Trump going third party, with an excellent VP who isn't dependent on his status as a Republican. He could win third party. The dissatisfaction cuts across party lines and I submit it's about 75% of US citizens. Then there's those Sanders supporters who aren't going to be really accepting of hillary vs Jeb.
Throwing the whole mess into total disarray will be the only way to clean house. The fringe benefit? It would be the end of the Republican Party.
Correct me where I'm not making sense, please.
Rand is a weak, indecisive replica of Ron. He’s useless.
