(http://www.businessinsider.com/rand-paul-fire-burn-2016-polls)"What do you want me to do, set myself on fire? I mean, we are doing what we have to do to get the message out," Paul replied, touting his support among younger voters who he said are being undercounted in the polls. "We think that the numbers are actually much higher than represented."

(http://www.businessinsider.com/rand-paul-fire-burn-2016-polls)Paul actually has set things on fire to grab attention in the past. In July, he literally destroyed thousands of pages of paper that represented US tax code (http://www.businessinsider.com/rand-paul-fire-burn-2016-polls)using a chainsaw, a wood chipper, and fire (http://www.businessinsider.com/rand-paul-chainsaw-tax-code-2015-7), in order to highlight his tax-reform proposal.

(http://www.businessinsider.com/rand-paul-fire-burn-2016-polls)He also said on"Kennedy" Wednesday that he's seeing a surge of support on the campaign trail despite what's reflected in polls. (http://www.businessinsider.com/rand-paul-fire-burn-2016-polls)
(http://www.businessinsider.com/rand-paul-fire-burn-2016-polls)"We haven't seen the movement in the polls but we can feel it everywhere we go," he said. "If I didn't turn my computer on and look at the stories that aren't always so favorable, I would have no idea from traveling on the road that we aren't doing great."

Can there really be more than one anti establishment candidate? Do republicans want to really elect someone with the swagger of a WWE wrestler that cries that he is being treated unfairly all the time?

Rand also can remind media he has won the decision - and is footing the bill for - the Kentucky Presidential caucus in March.

He will be around for longer than Trump certainly - as a Senator at least, if not the eventual GOP nominee.

Ok Rand did make a very good point here when he said, how many people under 40 do you know that have a land line? And that is what they tend to poll.

How do you figure that he's crying about being treated unfairly? It was the interviewer who was pressing the issue, not Rand.

He was talking about Trump, not Paul.
