Rand Paul attacks Trump-"An empty suit"

Rand Paul is leading the charge against Trump.
Yesterday, Paul did a press conference and also appeared on FOX, calling Trump an empty suit and a fake conservative.
Paul is not doing well in the polls and may be looking to distinguish himself from the pack. He's taking a chance going after Trump, but he doesn't have much to lose.

If/when Trump goes away 25 or so percent of Republicans will be looking for a second choice. Picking on their first choice is not A good strategy. Leave Trump alone and let things play out.

Rick Perry tried the "attack Trump" strategy a couple weeks ago, and look where that got him.

Our little canary testing the poisonous atmosphere of the Trump dump.

I couldn't be more proud.

The problem is not that Trump is an empty suit ... it's that he is full
of it. There's just way too much in that suit. Somebody get a box of
didies.

If anyone knows what an empty suit is, it would be Rand Paul. He sees one in his mirror every morning.

If your referring to Paul's appearance on the O'Riley Factor, he did not call Trump "An empty suit". You can watch it here.

I don't know of any other time he did either. He did refer to him as a "fake conservative". That is an accurate description of Trump I think. As I said before he's been all over the board on a lot of issues and really has no conservative credentials.

You learned something.

All I see is some website called nationaljournal.com and somebody called Emma Roller that wrote an article titled Rand Paul: Donald Trump Is a 'Bully' and an 'Empty Suit'. But, there was no direct quote or even specific reference other than some supposed "conference call with reporters for the explicit purpose of trash-talking Trump". Who has conference calls with reporters? I've never heard of that.
I didn't learn anything.

Some people are that way.


“Is there really anything substantive coming out of saying ‘people are fat, people are stupid’?” Paul asked. “That kind of logic, you just have to wonder, um, if somebody really needs to point out the sort of lack of logic, the lack of anything substantive being said. . . . Apparently not enough people are noticing that we’ve got an empty suit here, full of bravado but not full of anything meaningful for the country.”

It took about 3 minutes to find this on Google. You must be having a boring day.

A very poorly written herkey jerkey hit piece on Paul. Still not clear where the supposed quote calling Trump an empty suit originated.

National Review is a legitimate source. They are quoting Rand Paul as calling Trump an empty suit.
I don't think I'll respond to any more of this. I think I've provided everything I need to provide.

Me too except to point out that National Review is a Neocon rag.
