I was one of the early supporters of Rand Paul for president. Unfortunately, he’s turned out to be a major disappointment and will likely drop out soon. Rand Paul already sucks up to Mitch McConnell, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that he’s now attacking Ted Cruz in the Senate. Most of Rand Paul’s anger at Ted Cruz is also in defense if Rand’s good buddy Mitch McConnell.
Sen. Rand Paul on Tuesday said fellow Republican presidential candidate Ted. Cruz is “done for” in the Senate.
“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 can’t get anything done legislatively,” Paul told Fox News Radio. “He is pretty much done for and stifled and it’s really because of personal relationships, or lack of personal relationships, and it is a problem.”
I would say Rand Paul is just a nutter off the old block from Ron Paul, but I can’t see any way in hell that even Ron Paul would support Mitch McConnell.

Paul, a Kentucky Republican who has had the backing of his home-state senior senator, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, despite some tough policy differences, had been asked about Cruz’s inability to even muster the support of 11 senators to secure a roll call vote on a procedural motion designed to amend the continuing resolution to keep the government running.
The Senate’s set to vote on passage of that measure at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, the last day of the federal government’s 2015 fiscal year.
“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 it’s just a matter of different perspectives on how best to get to the end result,” Paul said in the interview.
Yea Rand, you’re really ‘hardcore alright.’ Hardcore enough where you suck up to Mitch McConnell and the GOP establishment to win points at the DC/Manhattan cocktail wienie parties. Well done hardcore Rand Paul.
