Rand on a 2020 GOP Primary: ‘I Can’t See Myself Supporting Anyone But’ Trump

HUNT: "Very last question, and this is also a yes or no question. Would the country benefit from a Republican presidential primary in 2020?"
PAUL: "I think no one can stop primaries from happening, and there could very well be a primary that happens. Before you get to that, you need to know, is President Trump running for re-election? You won't know that until you get into the second, third year of his presidency. At this point, I can't see myself supporting anyone but President Trump because I think he's given us the most conservative cabinet we've seen since Reagan, maybe more conservative than Reagan. We've repealed regulations for the first time in 20 years. He gave us a great Supreme Court justice and I'm hoping he gives us a couple more if we have retirements. I see the glass as half full. Doesn't mean I agree with him on everything. There will be people that if we can end the Afghan war, that's who I would support. I don't think that's going to be an alternative to President Trump. I like to accentuate the positive, and I would support him."
HUNT: "That's not a yes or no."
PAUL: "I think we need a primary. I think it's a pretty good answer."
HUNT: "You do think we need a primary?"
PAUL: "No, I think it's a a pretty good answer I gave you. We have no idea, you can't answer --
HUNT: "--I asked if it would be good for the party.--"
PAUL: "--We don't even know if Trump is going to run or not."
