(London Guardian) Of all the candidates at Wednesday’s Republican debate, Kentucky senator Rand Paul talked the least, with just over six minutes’ speaking time.
He used the time to declare, twice, that on Thursday he would be more long-winded, vowing to take the Senate floor and “filibuster” a spending deal that would raise the debt ceiling.
Paul’s Senate speech, it turned out, lasted not quite 19 minutes. It was never to be a talking filibuster – in which a member of Congress speaks indefinitely to hold up other legislative action – because the spending deal was already headed for a scheduled procedural vote.
