The presidential contender says doesn’t understand how Paul could get reelected.
In a speech to supporters in Mesa, Arizona this week, real estate mogul Donald Trump (R) called for a primary challenger to Sen. Rand Paul (R). The comments came amid a rant criticizing Paul’s chances in a presidential campaign.
Trump: “Whether you like his politics or not, his father had a certain spark. … Rand doesn’t have that spark. And I love Kentucky, it’s one of the great places. But I don’t get it, how does this guy get reelected in Kentucky? I don’t know, is he going to be primaried? Is somebody going to challenge him? I mean we do want a Republican. He’s a nasty guy.” (Hotline reporting)

What he's really saying is... I'm dropping out, and endorsing Hillary!
Trump makes himself no friends and wins no votes with this.
Paul should drop out anyway.
But this just insures that Paul's supporters will all go straight to Cruz and never vote for Trump, no matter what.
Cruz is a lot smarter about playing the angles to grab the Carson and Paul folks. I think he grabbed most of the (tiny numbers of) Perry and Jindal fans too.
But this just insures that Paul's supporters will all go straight to Cruz and never vote for Trump, no matter what.
All 2% of them? ROFL
I was a Paul supporter. A Ron Paul supporter. His kid is a disgrace to Ron's message. Every so often he says something right but it's more like an accident than an expression of his real philosophy.
I'm voting Trump- to send a message to the DC establishment. I don't agree with him on a lot but he's the Perot of 2016. He better not drop out because of a wedding.
The more the establishment hates The Donald, the more his polls rise.
