Before it even become clear that Republicans were going to officially takeover the Senate this past Tuesday night, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has been waging an all-out war against his potential 2016 presidential opponent Hillary Clinton. Today, in an interview with Politicos Mike Allen, he upped the ante by going after her age.
I think all the polls show if she does run, shell win the Democrat nomination, Paul said. But I dont think its for certain. Its a very taxing undertaking to go through. Its a rigorous physical ordeal, I think, to be able to campaign for the presidency.
On Inauguration Day 2016, Hillary Clinton will be 68. Rand Paul will have just turned 53. From his latest comments, it sounds like he believes that gives him an edge when it comes to the constant campaigning necessary to become president.
Clinton has not responded directly to Pauls age-based attacks, but BuzzFeeds Ruby Cramer did get a comment from Adrienne Elrod, communications director for the pro-Clinton group Correct the Record: Its pretty funny that Rand Paul is lecturing on the rigors of a presidential campaign, given that last I checked, hes never been a presidential candidate, or even a candidate for re-election to any office. http://www.mediaite.com/online/rand-paul-not-sure-hillary-can-handle-rigorous-physical-ordeal-of-2016/

Hillary doesn't have to respond to this piece of shit. She should just laugh.

(3,580 posts)poor randy was scared of the young woman with the sign? And just recently he got up from his seat and didn't even finish his burger when that young woman approached him about the dreamers. I think he's got a problem with women.
