Rand Paul: 2014 Was A ‘Repudiation’ Of Hillary Clinton

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has made a habit of attacking Hillary Clinton as he positions himself for a 2016 presidential run, and he is turning up the heat after Republican spanked Democrats in the 2014 midterms.

The outcome wasn’t just a judgment of President Barack Obama — it was a “repudiation” of Clinton, too, Paul said Wednesday morning on CNN.

“I think it’s all good news. I think last night in Kentucky, we had a huge victory. And particularly in Kentucky, Iowa, Arkansas, this was not only a repudiation of the president, but I think really a repudiation of Hillary Clinton,” he said. “Everybody thought ‘Oh, hey, I’m going to be a Clinton Democrat.’ Turns out that’s not so popular in a lot of states either. And trying to separate this into Obama Democrats and Clinton Democrats really wasn’t a successful strategy for the Democrats yesterday.”

“The Clintons have long been represented as leaders of the Democrat Party,” Paul continued. “She’s said to be the front-runner for the nomination for their party. So really elections are about who the leadership is in a party and it’s about either accepting or rejecting those leaders. And, frankly, I think that yesterday was a repudiation of Hillary Clinton.”

Paul also took to social media to brand the losing Democratic candidates for whom Clinton campaigned as #HillarysLosers.

  3. I think that yesterday was a repudiation of Hillary Clinton.

    Oh, it’s much more than that (Cue “Twilight Zone” theme music)…What happened tomorrow will foreshadow all that was, and the with the benefit of hindsight we can see Pauls presidency from our house.

    In Kentucky, 2014 was a repudiation of Rand Paul because now that law that won’t allow him to run for both the presidency and the Senate will never get changed.
