Front-running GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump would end up "the largest loser of any candidate ever in the history of the country" if he were the party's standard-bearer in 2016, Sen. Rand Paul tells Newsmax TV.
In a no-holds-barred interview with "The Hard Line" host Ed Berliner to air Monday night at 9 p.m. ET, the Kentucky Republican running well behind Trump in national polls and struggling with fundraising says the brash billionaire's "attitude" is "so polarizing" that if he were the Republican presidential nominee, "we'd get just swamped in a landslide."

narrow singlemindedness makes you politically irrelevant
one issue is narrow mindedness
What a joke. Rand you so funny!! :-)
That is what candidates need to do, is to polarize. A good candidate shows the public how he is different from the other candidates policies and opinions, that’s polarizing.
The norm today is everything must be alike, and heaven forbid calling someone out, such as Mitt calling obama out on his birth certificate, or anyone today calling Hillary out on her numerous scandals. This is political correctness.
That’s what’s so great about Trump, he’s making it crystal clear how he and his policies are different from the herd. Trump’s lack of political correctness is what the country loves and is why his numbers are up there.
Yes he’s mouthy, yes he’s rude. So what? That’s yesteryear’s way of getting attention to get the point out. It’s very effective. Who cares if wimpyette’s like Bush or feminazi’s like Fiorina are offended.
Rand Paul’s wrong on this...
Once you leaglize 30 million undocumented Democrats see how relevant any of the other issues are
What’s Rand polling at these days....like 0.1%?
Rationalization? No, it's sick twisted thinking like yours that result in our Republic's destruction.
2012 was the very last time I WASTED my vote on the lesser of two evils.
The GOPe and the RATS are one and the same -- they both result in the destruction of our Republic.
Tell you pal Rove they will never fool Conservatives again by running Statist GOPe evil pukes. I will gladly NOT vote for any GOPe puke in 2016.
Dear Rand Paul, please look directly into the nearest mirror and repeat these words “ I see before me the absolute worst nominee the Republican Party could possibly think of”. In completing these two actions you will be, for the first time, 100% correct.
did he sign the dumb “support the nominee” paper?
I won’t vote for somebody who favors cheap outsourced and insourced foreign labor. Period. That IS the country’s welfare.
Rand your 12 seconds are up. Get off the stage!
What major part of the republican base would Trump lose in a general election? Any republican that would stay home instead of voting for Trump or any one running as a republican would rather have Hillary Clinton as president. Can’t see that happening again.
Rand Paul....is he still around!!!!
They should have done that when they elected the turtle!!!
Greedy Capitalist Pigs are Polarizing.
Power Hungry Communist Rats are Compassionate.
Looking at that Picture I must ask, how is it that a very Successful Eye Surgeon and sitting United States Senator has a bad fitting cheap looking Suit while a Phony Baloney Reverend who owes the IRS over $4,000,000 has a much more expensive fitted Suit?
Maybe it’s just me.
Exactly
The republicans have wanted someone who could handle the media, stand up to hard questions, be tough with the other party, be a fighter who will not ever give up, and be unapologetic...... now we have a contender and half of the republicans are scared of him... and ALL of the left is scared of him.
