“I think as people get to know what Donald Trump has really been for over the years, I think people are going to realize he is a fake conservative”, Paul said.
The 31st Biennial Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference, to be held on September 18-20, is shaping up to be a key proving ground for presidential candidates seeking the party’s nomination.
Rand Paul will try to convince Kentucky Republicans on Saturday to let him run for president and re-election to his U.S. Senate seat at the same time. The elder Paul finished third in Alaska’s 2012 caucuses. An independent, he said Paul “doesn’t have to swing too hard” to win his vote.
After the rally, Paul spent a few minutes in another hotel meeting room Chuck and Sally Heath, the parents of Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor who was the GOP vice presidential candidate in 2008.
