The latest contribution to the discourse from Sen. Rand Paul is, somewhat appropriately for the movement he represents,
a faked tape.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the 2016 field’s most prolific adopter of social media, has posted what aides wryly call a “secret tape” of a fake phone call between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.
RAND PAC, Paul’s political organization, used actors to portray the conversation, which hits both rivals on the dynasty issue. [...]
“Clinton” says: “We both agree on so many issues: bigger government, Common Core, and amnesty for illegal immigrants.”
Doesn't it seem to be a little early for Paul to be smearing his fellow maybe-candidates? Cheap-shot PAC ads seem to start so early these days.
No matter. What's important here is that Sen. Rand Paul, a man who literally inherited his political career, his political contacts, his campaign strategy, his fundraising tools, and his entire pre-prepared collection of slightly nutty, definitely fervent, dubiously libertarian fans from his father, wants to run for president as his father did before him because he thinks political dynasties are bad.
Welcome to the GOP primaries, everyone! Get settled in, we're gonna be here a while!
