I think you are confusing Mitt with Paul
Trump wants to host a debate in Iowa, but so far only Newt Gingrich has agreed to take part. Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, Paul called the debate "clown-like," and said he doesn't understand why Republicans take Trump seriously.
"I don’t quite understand the marching to his office," Paul said about several candidates making pilgrimages to see Trump in New York.
Paul may be crazy (and he is) but he is not a Trump groupy like the rest of the GOP field.
