Rand Paul wants conservative voters to remember something

As his polling numbers continue to struggle and the national mainstream media ignores his campaign completely, GOP presidential hopeful Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has a compelling argument for why he’s more relevant than ever for conservative voters.

“I want a government that leaves me alone,” Paul also urged. “I want a government so small I forget it’s even there.” Paul told supporters during a recent visit to a new campaign office in Las Vegas.

That’s a message that Paul has carried around the nation since the beginning of his presidential campaign. And anyone who followed the lawmaker before he began seeking election to the nation’s highest office knows his work in the senate backs up Paul’s claim.

And that’s what the Kentucky lawmaker wants conservative voters to remember, even if Donald Trump’s theatrics and other candidates’ lofty promises are grabbing a majority of the headlines these days.

“We borrow $1 million a minute,” Paul said. “You know whose fault that is? Both sides.”

On the Republican side, the Kentucky lawmaker has blasted fellow GOP hopefuls Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida for supporting measures that increase government spending without making any cuts.

He also lambasted fellow Republicans who consider military spending sacred, no matter how wasteful, saying, “You cannot be a conservative if you’re liberal with military spending.”

As for claims from his party that military spending makes the nation stronger internationally, Paul disagrees.

He told Fox: “You can’t be a strong country from bankruptcy court. This is what I tell people all the time. This is what separates me from most of the Republican field.”

In an interview with U.S. News, Paul said that conservative voters who believe in his small government positions shouldn’t follow the establishment’s lead in writing him off based on a few bad polls.

“Because there are numbers in the polls, people equate that with math and with sound science. I think almost every one of the polls that people are still taking, 85 percent of the people in the poll are undecided. So essentially these are small national polls of leaners,” he said. “In a way, we’ve overreported the horse race among these leaner polls but not really looked at how well people are organized. We’ve organized a lot of the caucus states. I think we have a college group in every state of the union, 350 college groups around the country and 20 of them in Iowa. We are in it to win it basically. We’d love to get that story out.”
