Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) hates Sen. Mitch McConnnell so much that when a constituent asked him why he supports McConnell’s reelection campaign, Paul refused to answer and told the questioner to talk to him privately.
According to the Glasgow Daily Times:
After addressing about 30 people who turned out to hear him, the senator opened the floor for questions.
One constituent asked him why he came out in support of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Louisville.
Paul declined to answer the question publicly, saying he would speak with her in private and explain his reason for supporting the senior senator.
The answer that Rand Paul won’t publicly say is that he and his staff don’t like Mitch McConnell at all, by they cut a secret deal with McConnell where they promised to help him get reelected to the Senate, and McConnell would in turn open Republican establishment doors, and help Rand Paul win the 2016 Republican nomination.
Since McConnell cut his deal with Paul, everything has gone wrong. McConnell’s approval rating is lower than President Obama’s in Kentucky. His campaign has had numerous gaffes and blunders, and Sen. McConnell has lost three tea party endorsements, which is interesting because shoring up Mitch with tea party voters is why he made the deal with Paul.
The McConnell campaign has been such a disaster that it is almost like the Paul people are trying to sabotage the Republican incumbent’s campaign. When McConnell really needs Rand Paul’s support the most, what he gets is Paul throwing him under the bus by acting as if his name isn’t fit to be mentioned in public.
The surest sign yet that Mitch McConnell may be on his way to a big defeat is that lengths than Rand Paul is going to try to not get any McConnell fail stink on his 2016 presidential campaign hopes.
Mitch McConnell tried to stand to stand with Rand, but Paul threw him under the bus.
