Rand Paul to Hillary: Take Your 'Sad Song' to the American People

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) criticized former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for complaining that she was “dead broke” after they left the White House.
“I mean, there is a lot of Americans struggling, if she wants to come to Eastern Kentucky to my state and talk to miners who are out of work and see the despair in their faces and talk about her personal plight as being the poor spouse of a president, she is welcome to take that message around the country,” Paul explained.
Paul pointed to Hillary Clinton’s $8 million book deal that she signed before the pair left the White House--as well as reports of the couples net worth of over $100 million.
“The sad song of her reporting her personal financial difficulties and the fact that she hasn’t driven herself in a car in 17 years, it doesn’t sound like she’s going to connect with a lot of the Middle Class,” she said.
Paul added that Clinton's failure in Benghazi was a “deal killer” which would doom her if she chose to run for president.
"I don't think she can win the presidency," he said.
Paul also criticized Clinton’s eagerness to arm the rebels in Syria--a policy that most Americans disagreed with.
“I think she’s going to have some surprises when she gets out of her limousine and meets the American people,” he said.

Rand Paul, and I like him, is trying too hard.

I like that he's confronting her but there is a reason the Clintons have been powerful for 20+ years. They're not dumb people.

She deserves it. It was a really stupid thing for her to say and just further defines how out of touch the elites in DC really are.
What she meant was they were in debt, not broke. But even being in debt with millions in financing already lined up and million dollar homes as assets is completely disingenuous.
I don't know what she was thinking with that answer, but it was dumb and a slap in the face to the millions of people who actually are struggling making house payments and paying for tuition or other things for their children.

I wish I was so "broke" that I could have an $8M book deal. Or have people chauffeur me around for 17 years.
Rand needs to speak out early and often.

Positioning himself early as Hillary's most vocal opponent is probably smart. He's gonna have to do it without making himself look like an arse with stupid Taliban jokes though.

Nice.
As far as being too early, he can start with comments like this pointing out her disconnect from the people (been in Washington too long) and carefully - very carefully - point out her age by highlighting his relative youth in comparison.
The left defined Romney before he could do it himself and he was never able to catch up. A little something.here.and there that backs up things he has already said will be good. Slamming everything all the time would be bad. I like this one.
