    TRYING TO FAN PAUL FLAME

    Move over, Donald Trump.

    The heavyweight title of 2016’s most disruptive candidate will soon belong to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.

    At least, that was a weekend prediction of Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.

    As Paul, the state’s junior senator and 2016 presidential hopeful, was anxiously hunkered down Aug. 22 in his home state awaiting a decision by the Kentucky GOP Central Committee to adopt a presidential-caucus system next year, his campaign operatives dispatched Massie to Iowa this weekend for a four-stop tour to energize local GOP bases.

    “We need a disrupter. Right now, Donald is that,” Massie said on Aug. 22, referring to Trump, the billionaire New York business mogul, TV star, and current front-runner among the 17 main Republican presidential candidates.

    Trump’s outlandish political frenzy will fizzle out over the next few months, Massie told supporters at the University of Iowa. But Paul is committed to remaining in the game for the long haul, he said.

    “Sen. Paul is going to go the distance. He will be there in January, February, and March,” he advised the some 20 supporters, many of whom were dressed in navy blue campaign T-shirts with the slogan “Defeat the Washington machine, unleash the American Dream” emblazoned on the back.

    Trying to underscore the weakness of Trump’s presidential campaign, Massie said, “Republicans are going to take a sober look at Donald Trump, and I think a lot of oxygen will come back into the room.”
