CAP-HAITIEN, HAITI — Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul says it's only a matter of time until the country wakes up to Donald Trump's insincere message, but he's worried that some Americans are blinded by his "celebrity."
In a series of interviews between performing pro-bono eye surgeries in Haiti with the University of Utah's Moran Eye Center, the Kentucky senator was relaxed in scrubs, dismissive of Trump and critical of the media's role in Trump's rise.

Considering Rands daddy, that's a pretty silly question.
Sour grapes. Typical libertarian smug self-righteousness.
Even Yeb seems to be catching on.
“...but he’s worried that some Americans are blinded by his “celebrity.”

"I think I do exactly the same thing I've been doing," he said.
Great!
LOOK OUT BELOW! Rand.
Your poll numbers are still falling.
Wow, they give the voters so much credit. We’re all just a bunch of blinded idiots who chase celebrity.
Rand Paul is complaining about celebrity being an advantage? What are the odds he’s be in the US Senate if it weren’t for his famous daddy?
How do you out trump the bought and paid for? Why, out Trump them of course.
Hey Ran, Mitch wants his pipe and slippers. Step on it shorty.
Sinking like a stone
Paul/Graham 2016!
I remember that Reagan supported Ron Paul. But like anything that starts out good it always gets perverted latter on and seldom goes the other way again.
5 stages of grief:
denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance
Rand is in DENIAL
Rand the panderer has now found all that reaching out to blacks, criminals, and college druggies is not paying off for him.
Do everyone a favor Paul and drop out or run on the liberaltarian ticket
Lol, this from a smug, smirking nonentity.
He’s not getting traction so he is whining.
