CON: By skipping the debate, Rand will be passing up the chance to spar with Rick Santorum, who has been particularly critical of both Rand and his father. These two squaring off on a small stage would have been good television, and Rand probably would have come out looking like a better debater than he has previously.
Rand Paul has already proven he can agitate Rick Santorum.
Remember this exchange from a previous debate:
Paul: “ISIS exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms indiscriminately… “
Santorum: “I would expect to hear that from maybe Bernie Sanders. I don’t expect to hear that from someone running for the Republican nomination.”
