From the article:
McConnell’s announcement came after several tense exchanges on the floor with Paul, including a testy back-and-forth with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who repeatedly accused Paul of not knowing Senate rules for when he is allowed to speak. At one point, McCain even objected to letting Paul talk for five minutes, before relenting.
“He would be the worst candidate we could put forward,” the GOP’s 2008 nominee later told reporters about Paul’s presidential aspirations”
I have to say, that is one fantastic endorsement for junior. Congratulations.
I tell you the way the GOP-E elite leadership in the Senate is frothing in their depends, I can’t help but appreciate Rand Paul just a bit more, today.
Now that doesn’t mean it’s permanent or he can’t blow it on something again, of course, but this moment, yeah, he’s doing real good.
