Rand Paul Reveals Who He Will Support For President
Rand
Paul, who bowed out of the GOP race earlier this year, told reporters
Friday he would support Trump if he emerges as the Republican nominee.
He said that while he would not be endorsing any candidate during the
GOP primary, he would support the eventual nominee.
Paul's promise comes at a time when Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and John
Kasich have all backtracked on earlier to unconditionally support the
ultimate Republican nominee.
"I'm not in the habit of supporting someone who attacks my wife and my
family ... I think nominating Donald Trump would be an absolute
train-wreck, I think it would hand the general election to Hillary
Clinton," Cruz said during a CNN town hall.
Trump also said he no longer promised to back the eventual nominee,
claiming that he had been "treated very unfairly" during the primary.
In his statement, Paul pointed out that Hillary Clinton's policies would
be devastating for his constituents, particularly the coal industry in
Kentucky.
"I think we never get the candidate we exactly want unless you're the
candidate," he told a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter. "Think about it from
this perspective: I'm from Kentucky, and Hillary Clinton recently said
she would put coal miners out of business, and she would put coal
companies out of business."
Paul had teased a "Yuge" endorsement, which he admitted was an April Fool's joke as he has not openly endorsed anyone.
"We decided to have a little fun and announce an April Fool's joke," he said. |

took so much sweat and blood and sacrifice to achieve will be taken
away", most notably the loss of the White House.
"I worry that the despair and emotions on the ground escalate. 'Cause
not only do we feel we're not getting justice, we're not feeling we're
being assuaged by someone that we feel is at least sensitive to those
needs. And I don't know that America is ready or has adequately prepared
to deal with that," Sharpton said.
Sharpton also weighed in on the 2016 election and didn't mince words about Republican front runner Donald Trump.
"When I look at the fervor that Donald Trump has been able to cause-it
started with the birther thing, then Mexicans, then the misogynist
stuff, and he's been able to leverage that with no policies, no
background, and be the front runner?" Sharpton said...(continue reading)
