Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky appeared on Fox News last week to declare his intention to support the eventual GOP nominee, even if that meant supporting Donald Trump.
Saying he “won’t be enthusiastic,” Paul stated, “There will be people I will be very unhappy with. I think Donald Trump’s a disaster. I think he’ll hurt the country and we’ll lose in a landslide. But I will still pledge to support the nominee because I think Hillary Clinton is the worst person on the planet to run the country. And I think emails have cemented the notion that she just has bad judgment.”
Host Tucker Carlson pressed Paul on what it would be like to have to go out and give speeches in support of a candidate he didn’t believe in: “Well, the thing is is that there are relative degrees of enthusiasm when you support the nominee. And I won’t be enthusiastic, but I will support the nominee and I will pledge to support the nominee. But I think in the meantime, the next six months, I’m going to try to convince people that Donald Trump is a fake conservative. He’s not really conservative at all. He’s been for a single-payer healthcare system, he’s been for higher taxes. And really what bugs me the most is his business model has been using eminent domain to take private property from small property owners, gobble that up in order for him to make money. And I think that is something antithetical to the notion of freedom.”
