year for republicans is from rand paul to mitch mcdonnell this effort to try to spike the career of the democrat who kentucky republicans are most afraid of in terms of the way he will move up. jessie benton had been dispatched to do that. to help rand paul. he had to step down from everything to fight these federal charges against him. he pled not guilty yesterday in federal court in iowa. jessie benton said he will clear his name. of course with that big political gun no longer pointing at him, adam s path looks prieter and clearer than ever for this democratic star to be to run against rand paul and try to take away his senate seat next year. that brings us to the other big problem for rand paul, which is why there is good reason to believe that rand paul might reasonably quit the presidential race as early as this weekend. that s because tomorrow rand paul has to be home in kentucky trying to persuade two-thirds of
the republican party in that state, two-thirds of the republican party s executive committee which is 340 people. he has to be home kentucky tomorrow, off the campaign trail, instead trying to purr suede his home state, home party to vote to do something that would be a huge favor to him but it would be terrible for kentucky republicans and i don t think there is any reason to believe he s going to get that vote. and i think that might mean he will have to quit. i ll explain why next. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. isn t it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla, apremilast. otezla is not an injection,
presidential race included. it is a senate race that has alan grayson running and few big name democrats on one side and a parade of republicans on the other side, including potentially the state s current lieutenant governor, the well-known, former attorney general of florida, handful members of congress, your uncle stu and aunt sally. it is harder to theirry down who isn t running. the race that we are more than a year out from looks nuts. the reason it is happening at all is the current occupant of the seat is giving it up. he s giving it up to run for president. because that s marco rubio s senate seat in florida and marco rubio is stepping down from the senate in order to run for president. florida law says you can t be on the sameball ballot for two offices. so he made a choice which he wanted to run for and he made the choice to give up his senate seat in order to run for president. that does give his presidential ambitions a seriousness boost.
anything nice. then some down the middle say they want somebody who is different, a businessman, somebody who will bring a different thought process to politics. so far, no lacking for interesting subjects or people or lines in the donald trump campaign, of all the campaigns to be on, rachel this is one that will get the most interesting action, no doubt. katy n terms of the the reason there s so much a tension on this event tonight, one it is weird to see donald trump in alabama. it is like chalk and cheese, you don t expect them in the same place. two because he made a big deal saying he needed a 50,000 seat venn knew to fit in the tens of thousands of people that wanted to turn out. what s the size of the crowd vis-a-vis the capacity of the venue. it is about half full. and the stadium is saying there are about 20,000 people here. it s not quite the crowd they expected or hoped for. it is still a pretty big crowd.
senate seat. with his top politically operatives indicted and fighting to stay out of prison. with those operatives in charge of his own fund-raising which is anemic. kentucky has a law about only running for one race at a time. they have the law for a reason. in this case the sound reasoning behind think law is proven by the fact that kentucky republican party interests are not the same as rand paul s interests. and now those two conflicting interests are coming to loggerheads. his presidential campaign is not going well. i think he s put ing the kentucky senate seat that he now holds, and also seeking re-election to, at jeopardy with his presidential campaign. let s be honest, nobody believes rand paul can win the presidential nomination. paul should either get out of the presidential race right now and focus on the senate or
