MILFORD, N.H. — Sen. Rand Paul claimed he’d be the Republican with the best chance of picking up black voters in the 2016 presidential campaign — and suggested a major scandal will soon threaten Democrat Hillary Clinton’s likely candidacy — during a stop here one day after announcing he’s running for the White House.
“I’ve tried to expand the Republican Party by taking the message to places Republicans haven’t gone,” Paul said yesterday when asked by the Herald whether he is the Tea Party candidate in the race. “I’ve spent the last several years going to historically black colleges, going to large major cities, going to inner city schools at a dozen cities ... going to the Urban League, talking to NAACP leaders.”
Paul wouldn’t say what separates him from the only other declared GOP candidate — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — but said his support goes far beyond just the Tea Party.
“What you’re seeing early on with polling is when you see me polled against Hillary Clinton in purple states and in some blue states, we do better than any other Republican. We believe that’s because we attract independent voters better than any other candidate,” he said.
No state, however, may be more important to the Paul campaign than New Hampshire, which was his first stop after announcing his candidacy in Louisville, Kentucky Tuesday.
“I do think we do need to win New Hampshire,” said Paul.
Paul walked in to a packed crowd at Milford Town Hall with the driving guitars of “Frankenstein” by The Edgar Winter Group blaring and chants of “President Paul!”(continued)

So Rand Paul checked the “Black” box on the 2010 census like El Jebbie did Hispanic, eh ?
Peeps of color at 2015 are not enough.
Rand “The Panderer” Paul - 2016!
He’s an idiot.
Sorry Rand, but unless you have a bunch of government goodies in your bag of campaign promises you won’t get any more of the Black vote than a Republican normally gets.
There is only ONE WAY to get the Black vote. BUY IT.
The Dems have made sure of that.
by pandering with leftwing social justice nonsense????
I would love to see conservative stop this bs hypenanted american crap.
Just speak to Americans stop playingthe Demoncrap divide and conquer game.
he’s toast. already taking the used car salesman approach to winning votes
Unfortunately, Rand Paul is somewhat delusional about what he can do and is politically tone deaf.
WTH?
Rand Paul is functioning just like his father had in the past - he divides independent voters from conservatives so the progressives can win.
Glenn Beck 2.0
Somebody make him a cardboard sign:
Will pander for votes.
HIllary’s bribe money laundering ‘foundation’ is being exposed only because she won’t keep VAL JAR on as ‘senior adviser’. Hillary has made it clear she would put Cheryl Mills in that spot.
Elizabeth Warren has no problem with keeping VAL JAR if she wins. So.... VAL JAR is going to make sure she won’t.
The free stuff Rand is offering is in your home, when he springs lots of prisoners from jail.
That is not the mark of a true statesman.
I dont want people to join the GOP because of their skin color. I want conservatives to join the GOP because that is the party that best represents their values. However, of late, the support for conservatives has been sorely lacking.
His head should be photo shopped onto a Pander Bear.
