An attack video released Wednesday by Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) campaign highlighted the liberal leanings of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump on issues like health care and the economy. In one clip from the video, Trump said, “I probably identify more as a Democrat.”
Bold white captions promoted other Trump statements that don’t adhere to the Republican Party line, like his praise for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and his belief that “the economy does better under the Democrats.”
Trump and Paul butted heads during the first GOP debate on Aug. 6, when Paul criticized The Donald for saying he’d consider a third-party run and for previously voicing support for a single-payer healthcare system. Trump lashed out at Paul, saying “you’re having a hard time tonight.”
Trump told CNN on Wednesday that their relationship was not always so fraught. In an interview with host Jake Tapper, Trump said that Paul asked him for donations during a golf outing several months ago.
BTW, here’s the ad @realDonaldTrump doesn’t like and responded to on @CNN.

I hate to give tRump political advice but the best response is to show Raygun as a Democrat, or saying something about why he feels strongly about why he’s a Democrat…before he made that grand heavenly conversion to Republicanism.
Your Welcome, your Yuuuugness. That’ll be $1 million dollars for that advice. Next time however, it’ll cost you a lot more…
Sorry Randy but this is just weak tea. It won’t sway his supporters any. Take SRfromGR’s advice. Oh, and don’t forget to ATTAAAAACK!!! while you’re at it.
So this ad will make randy the better person for the gop nomination?
He has a better chance of doing the , I am the fertilizer for this hair growing thing on my head.
Dear Rand,
Thanks for putting up a reminder in big bold letters that the economy does better under the Democrats! I know that wasn’t what you intended to be the takeaway from this ad, but based on what people actually remember about ads like this, it kind of is.
Wait till you read about the slap fight the two are engaging in about…a golf game?
Paul’s campaign is on fumes anyway…both the Presidential and the Senate ones. Trump will break him in half given how conflict adverse Paul has shown himself to be. Just not really sure its worth anybody’s, including Trump’s, time or effort. Sort of like kicking the quadriplegic lying in the gutter.
