2016 GOP presidential candidate Senator Rand Paul (R-KS) called into Kilmeade & Friends and talked about Senator Ted Cruz being rebuffed on the senate floor by republicans who failed to allow him a roll call vote,....Ted has chosen to make this really personal and chosen to call people dishonest in leadership and call them names which really goes against the decorum and also against the rules of the senate, and as a consequence he cant get anything done legislatively. He is pretty much done for and stifled and its really because of personal relationships, or lack of personal relationships, and it is a problem. I approach things a little different, I am still just as hardcore in saying what we are doing , I just chose not to call people liars on the senate floor and its just a matter of different perspectives on how best to get to the end result.
Would you say Mitch McConnell has let you down?
I think I would say we have disagreements on tactics on how to do it and I stand up forcefully for what I think is right and I try not to make it personal. So I will stand up, I stood up on the NSA, I stood up on Planned Parenthood, I forced a vote on Planned Parenthood in August but I try not to make it personal and I think in not making it personal and understanding other people have different perspectives and really this is a democratic republic, you have to woo people, you cant hit them over the head.

and butt kissing has not gotten anywhere either, so how about being honest and fight
Because garbage like Rand exist in the GOP.
What a pathetic loser. Trump was right. He doesn’t belong on the stage.
Rand, just shut up and resign.
Rand is such a big disappointed. The problem with Boehner is NOT a disagreement with tactics, its a difference between the destination. Rand is repeating the GOPe Lie that its about tactics
Paul is trying to play both sides of the fence. That never works out well.
I thought when Paul started running, he might have learned something...apparently he didn’t, so now that you have completely put your foot in your mouth, bye bye....
disappointed=disappointment
Randy really is a pathetic, jealous, little man, isn’t he?
The GOP Senate if like a bad college fraternity without any of the sex, beer or fun.
What sort of genius come up with a strategy that gives OBama 100% of what he want and proclaim its a tactic to undermine him
Seriously I like RAnd Paul but he got caught up in his dream that I think maybe his Dad pushed that he could be President. Its not happening. Rand Paul is a good and decent guy who fights everyday in the Senate for our personal freedoms and I wish we had 50 more just like him but he needs to let it go and get out of the race.
Hey Rand, FU Brillohead!
There was always an unwritten rule in The Senate. You can say WHATEVER you want in public, but you never EVER lie to each other behind closed doors. How can you govern if you do?
So McConnell LIED and Cruz called him on it. There is only one other instance I can recall of a Senator being called out for lying to other Senators.
So SCREW McConnell and SCREW RAND PAUL for kissing his ass
I’m sure he is a decent man - I never said he wasn’t. He just doesn’t have the temperament to be president. I’m not so sure he has stood with Cruz on much either. He should stay in the Senate -

I wonder about that. Rand is not fighting in the Senate either which is why he’s doing so poorly in the presidential polls.
