CNN host Candy Crowley and The Hill Associate Editor A. B. Stoddard on Sunday agreed that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was playing smart politics by blaming former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the affair her husband had while he was president.
Looking toward the 2016 presidential race, Paul began hammering the Clintons several weeks ago, saying that Hillary Clinton was unqualified to defend womens rights because her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had cheated on her with an intern in the White House.
In one interview, Paul went as far as to accuse the former president of violence against women. And more recently, the Republican presidential hopeful declared that Bill Clinton should return any contributions that Bill Clintons either raising for people or giving to people.
This is smart politics it seems to me, Crowley told Stoddard on Sunday. Heres Rand Paul kind of expanding what his dad had, hes got the libertarian side of him: Hell take on drones, hell take on privacy, hell do that. Then, hes got the social conservative side of him. I think thats where this comes in.
Hes actually more in tune with the needs and the demographic liabilities Republican Party than most wannabe 2016 contenders, Stoddard asserted. Hes actually speaking right now to the Wall Street managerial wing of the party. Its very worried that Chris Christie collapsed.
