Rand Paul: The GOP brand "sucks"

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, likened the Republican party to Domino's Pizza Wednesday when he declared that the party's image "sucks."

"Remember Domino's Pizza? They admitted, 'Hey, our pizza crust sucks.' The Republican Party brand sucks, and so people don't want to be a Republican, and for 80 years, African-Americans have had nothing to do with Republicans," Paul said Thursday while campaigning at a Republican field office in the Sherwood Forest neighborhood of Detroit, according to The Hill newspaper.

He describes the problem as one of image, not substance.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., says in order for the tea party to succeed politically, "We have to reach out to more people."

"The problem is the perception that no one in the Republican Party cares," he said.

Paul is one of the younger generation of GOP leaders who has focused on attracting more minority voters in part, by advocating for issues close to the black community, like expanding voting rights and reforming drug sentencing laws.

He has been particularly interested in making inroads into African American communities, saying in an interview earlier this month that the Republican Party's "biggest mistake" of the last several decades was its failure to reach out to black voters.

Paul has been an active surrogate for his fellow Republicans up for reelection this year. But he's also kept an eye on the long game, criticizing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a potential Democratic presidential candidate, for her remarks about job creation.

Rand Paul's political ordinariness

To the editor: Doyle McManus pretty much sums up what kind of presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) would be just another politician. ("The new Rand Paul vs. the old Rand Paul," Op-Ed, Oct. 24)

As Paul desperately tries to shed his libertarian past and become a moderate, more electable candidate by adopting ideas such as being an interventionist, giving foreign aid to Israel and saying he would have voted for the Civil Rights Act, he may discover new hurdles lie ahead. Those who enthusiastically supported his dad may now shy away from him, and moderates will find other more consistent and principled candidates to follow.

The road to the White House in 2016 may have already passed up the junior senator from Kentucky.

To the editor: It's interesting, but not surprising, that Paul did a complete 180 on so many issues that are crucial to being considered a viable candidate for president.

Let's remember, his father, Ron Paul, was a RINO (Republican in name only) who espoused the libertarian point of view on most issues. Rand Paul espoused those same views for most of his public life.

Ron Paul never made it past first base in his tries to become president with his libertarian views, and Rand Paul wisely sees that so now he is no longer an isolationist, no longer believes in the right to discriminate and so on.

The real question is, does Rand Paul truly believe in what he is now saying? My answer: Like father, like son.
