ATLANTA -- Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) avoided the RedState Gathering this weekend. While Republican presidential rivals like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee faced down questions about Donald Trump in Atlanta, Paul was touring South Carolina, holding meet-and-greets and dropping into a "Pints for Liberty" happy hour.

"I can't imagine Donald Trump even knowing what a tea party is," Paul said, referring to the conservative political movement. "Where is our sense? Where is our common sense?

This is a guy who was a Democrat before he was a Republican before he was a Democrat before was an independent before was a Republican again."(continued)
