Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) is trying to intensify a fight with current Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.
Paul's campaign on Monday announced a conference call with reporters specifically dedicated to Trump. During that call, Paul slammed the real-estate magnate for conducting a substance-less presidential campaign and making derogatory comments about women.
"The truth telling is bluster, the truth-telling is non-sequitur, self-aggrandizement, but is there really anything substantive coming out of saying that people are fat, people are stupid?" Paul said of Trump.
Calling Trump a "fake conservative," Paul listed off the issues where Trump has agreed with Democrats in the past, including supporting the 2008 bank bailouts, supporting some stricter measures on gun ownership, and saying that a single-payer healthcare system "could have worked."
Paul's broadside caused Trump to respond with one of his own Monday evening. Writing on Twitter, the real-estate developer declared that Paul was "truly weird" and "reminds me of a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain"

LOL. Uh oh. Here we go again.
Now Trump’s statement about Paul is a fact.
“reminds me of a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain”
Well, he would be a good representative for 47% of the population.
Isn’t Donald Trump a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain?
Paul may call Trump a fake conservative but what is Paul? He certainly is not a conservative. He’s a libertarian.

Trump gets it he hits back. Hard. Every time. Not gonna change might as well deal with it.

Trump must talk about the issues. Stop worrying about the other candidates now. Start talking about jobs, illegals, Iran, etc. He’s the front-runner now so he doesn’t need to engage in these pissing matches.

Sadly, I don’t have one. Even the few that had potential are disappointing. Not a Paul guy, but a libertarian us better than a socialist, which Trump is.
I agree he needs to talk about the issues. I think he does talk about the issues but the only thing that makes the headlines are the back and forth jabs.
You don’t like Cruz or Carson?
He doesn’t care about issues. His strategy is to say inflammatory things and have feuds with everyone possible. WYSIWYG
Actually Trump should get into the pissing matches. It’s a smart way of preparing the battlefield and intimidating his opponents because he is better at it than they are.
And he is back to talking about Illegals again. Go to his Twitter.
A spoiled brat who needs some shampoo and a haircut. Jeez, the guy makes Trump’s hair look good.
