LOL!!! Candy Crowley et al: Sen Rand Paul Playing Smart Politics By Blaming Bill's Affair On Hillary

A.B. Stoddard: Blaming Hillary For Bill's Cheating Give GOPers On Wall Street Confidence
By David February 9, 2014 9:15 am


CNN host Candy Crowley and The Hill Associate Editor A. B. Stoddard on Sunday agreed that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was playing "smart politics" by blaming former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the affair her husband had while he was president

"This is smart politics it seems to me," Crowley told Stoddard on Sunday. "Here's Rand Paul kind of expanding what his dad had, he's got the libertarian side of him: He'll take on drones, he'll take on privacy, he'll do that. Then, he's got the social conservative side of him. I think that's where this comes in."

"He's actually more in tune with the needs and the demographic liabilities Republican Party than most wannabe 2016 contenders," Stoddard asserted. "He's actually speaking right now to the Wall Street managerial wing of the party. It's very worried that Chris Christie collapsed."

"And what it's saying is, 'I have the guts to take on the Clintons, I think we need to, I know we don't have a candidate right now,'" she continued. "So in the middle of this panic, he's saying, 'I can do this. And that actually is going to bring him more ears."

Candy Crowley should retire now. Rand Paul will only attract the same loons that his father did. How desperate is it to 1)attack a candidate who hasn't even announced yet and 2)attack a woman for her husband's infidelity?.

He is a joke. I hope he does win the GOP nomination, so he can be trounced by any one of our Democratic hopefuls.

Who in their right mind would think a couple of slavery apologists really care about liberty for anyone other than the .01%?

Paul will now be asked if he agrees with his racist father, or will he disavow all the insane shit he's spouted over the years?


Either way, that moran painted himself into a corner on this one, it's a lose/lose for Paul either way he answers.

494 bills while in the House and was successful in getting one passed. A do nothing father will surely make a do nothing son, we do not need a do nothing son of a do nothing father in the WH. Rand Paul is just a drip away from Ron Paul.

Because I think blaming a woman for her husbands affair is a truly winning strategy! That'll show us gals whose side you are really on.

Keep up the good work!

it's desperate low-ball politics. Just what the GOP is noted for. And it is certainly gutter journalism to me.
