“if that is what the law of Ky says then fine...”
******************************************************************************************************
That’s EXACTLY what Kentucky state law says. Paul was trying to get it changed. IMHO, they should leave the law exactly as it is. If Rand Paul decides to run for the Presidential nomination instead of Senate reelection and does not make it, he’ll recede into a well deserved obscurity and be replaced by a conservative Republican who IS NOT PRO-AMNESTY as Paul is.
In the event Senator Paul declines to run for another term, the odds are overwhelming that a McConnell ally will be the replacement.
Mitch pretty much runs the Kentucky GOP, especially at the state level. And even after a rare setback, such as Rand’s upset win, he managed to co-opt the junior Senator almost immediately.
The new Majority Leader is a master politician. It’s a shame he falls so short when it comes to statesmanship.
Im curious as to what a challenger to Rand could get.
Considering Rand is pretty good on non immigration related issues I think it would be good if a challenger could get 30% against him in a primary to offer him some humility.
