Its high time that somebody does stand up and really call nonsense nonsense.
No doubt seeking to distinguish himself among the many GOP presidential contenders who are not Donald Trump, Senator Rand Paul has this week taken an aggressive stance against the frontrunners campaign. From Time, reporting on a conference call Paul had with journalists:
Paul explained his decision to go aggressively negative on Trump, the reality television star and real estate magnate. If no one stands up to a bully, a bully will keep doing what theyre doing, Paul said. And unless someone points out that the emperor has no clothes, theyll continue to strut about and what well end up with is a reality TV star as the nominee if were not careful.

Nobody ever accused Randy of being the sharpest tool in the shed.
It would be very smart for Trump to largely ignore Mr. Paul. That would really confuse people.
Sort of like watching a chihuahua bark at an elephant.
Agreed - I thought he was embarrassingly transparent in the debate when he yelled interruptions while Trump was answering a question.
All he wants to do is enhance his resume at this point.
How come this guy has never criticized Obama or Clinton like this?
I wish they would all focus ON THIS ADMINISTRATION and NOT EACH OTHER.
Rand Paul’s presidential campaign is “desperately” broke ...
At this point Rand Paul will be asking his supporters to bypass next week’s dope purchase and send the money to his campaign ...
At $ 35 a bag ... and 100 supporters (not too stoned to write the check) ...
Rand Paul will do well ...

Go away Senator Jheri Curl...
Rand Paul made a deal with the devil (Mitch) to get Establishment support. he’s now earning his keep by trying to knock out Trump. The Cheap Labor Express will be grateful.
Randy the panderer is frustrated that he is not leading for his daddy,
Rand is a man who deserves respect and he might be right about Trump and he might be wrong.
George W. was qualified to be president and had the skills and knowledge, but in retrospect he made some costly errors. The overspending and taking us into Iraq were bad for the country.
Trump might make a great president. It’s a crap shoot.
Exactly.
Trump isn’t part of the ruling political class. So he’s fair game.
Rand Paul is toast. He came across terrible in the debate. Angry and petulant from the start. He got attention as he wanted but in a negative way.
I agree with him on many issues but he’s not going anywhere nationally.
Check his bank balance
Go after the enemy (Dems) or the issues, not each other. Unacceptable behavior to me, unless we are talking about a RINO with no redeemable traits, or unless they attack first.
5 years in office and numerous opportunities to make his mark on the GOP. This is the best he has? He needs to fold up his tent and go back to the Senate.
Proof positive he's not a real contender and has more than likely been ...
Check his bank balance
:snork::
I joined twitter the other day, I have read so much about what Trump is saying, I wanted to see....
I found out a lot, one of things I found out, Kentucky has a rule if your a Senator from there and your running like Paul is running for POTUS, he has to drop his Senate seat to remain in the race OR he has to drop out of the POTUS race to retain his Senate seat and Paul isn’t happy that Trump mentioned this in his tweet...
Very interesting things on there....
