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.
