IMO Rand Paul believes that he cannot win the GOP nomination without the GOP leadership backing so he is going all in with them in order to get nominated. I am now wary of Rand Paul for President not only due to his immigration position but he just seems to want to be President too badly.
You should not want to be President its a thankless job. You should only run for President because you believe you can help the country.

One senator, however, has broken the silence and is speaking out. Yes, one. Only one. Senator Ted Cruz, who, ironically, holds an official position with the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the group at the center of these nasty allegations. Cruz has described the Mississippi fiasco as appalling and called for a vigorous investigation of possible criminal conduct in an interview with Mark Levin.
