First on CNN: Rand Paul video shows Donald Trump praising Democrats

In the next round of Rand Paul vs. Donald Trump, the Republican senator from Kentucky is releasing his campaign's first digital ad against his presidential rival, hitting the frontrunner in a video for supporting Democrats in the past.

The video, which his campaign says will be aired in a "substantial" ad buy, launches Wednesday in New Hampshire and Iowa and runs through the weekend.

With ominous music behind it, the video opens with favorable statements that Trump has made about Democratic economic policies, Hillary Clinton, and universal health care. It also features a comment he made in 1999, in which he said, "I really believe the Republicans are just too crazy right."

At one point, text on the screen appears, asking if Trump is really "telling it like it is?"

Then it switches to the infamous clip of former President Bill Clinton answering: "It depends on what the meaning of the word is is."

The second half of the two-minute video features footage of Paul talking about his record and policies in major speeches that he's delivered in the past year, portraying him as a candidate eager to reform Washington and return the Republican Party to conservative principles.

[libertyplz]

I think Drudge has Trump fever for the time being, very little negative press, but he has pushed a lot of things defending Trump, he even embedded a youtube video on the site showing the 2 women telling Megyn Kelley to backoff. I had never seen Drudge embed a video directly into the site. A link sometimes, but not where you can just watch the video right there on the page.

Worth a shot, I just sent it in, but don't expect to see it on there. Just search "Trump" in the search Drudge box, nothing but positive headlines

Yeah, I Drudged Rand's "Don't Fall for a Fake Conservative" and was surprised it was not taken up.

[Mr.NoSmile]

Impressive, I'll admit. And tying in that 'is' line from Bill Clinton was pretty good.

[jllundqu]

Hope this moves the needle

it was clearly calling into question his support for liberal policy not just "supporting the other team"

[SilentBull]

Just Blazed it too.

Exactly. When he says "it looks like the economy does better under the democrats" it truly shows his ignorance on economic issues.

32% of potential GOP primary voters?

How? I haven't been alive that long but in my experience in like the last 20 years it definitely does seem like the economy has done better under democrat administrations.

Facts seem to back it up too:

Facts seem to back it up too:

thats because economics tells you that a policy or law takes 3+ years to see the effect of in the economy.

conservatives make the laws, dems get to claim the reward and screw it up for the conservatives to then get the blame.

He used a red, white and blue colored graph. You're un-American if you dispute it.

Exactly. During a bubble everything appears to be going great. Everyone pays attention to the bust as if the bust is the problem. The problem is the creation the bubble itself, during the "good" times.

another thing is picking and choosing how you display data...if you do like a normal business and compare YOY comps....then its been pretty dead for awhile under all Presidents.
