9. He’s not really a “Washington Outsider.”
In several posts, the Democrats suggest that Rand Paul is conveniently hiding the fact that he is a Senator so that he may run as an “outsider.” However, this view is misguided; while Senator Paul has been in Washington for a little more than 4 years, he has been anything but a typical politician. He has routinely brought fresh ideas to the Senate and has done anything but fall into “business as usual.”
Maybe most humorous is viewing these criticisms of Paul is light of the fact that the two leading contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination are Hillary Clinton, who has spent over 20 years in Washington, and Joe Biden, who by the end of his Vice Presidency will have spent 44 consecutive years in Washington.
