Rand: I Don’t Think Cruz’ Personalty ‘Would Allow Him To Be the Nominee’

‘I don’t go to the floor and call people liars because I don’t think that, one, meets the rules of the Senate’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
TODD: "Do you his Ted Cruz deserves this reputation that he’s difficult to work with?"
PAUL: "I think people have different strategies and approaches to how they deal with people. I’ve had many disagreements with those in leadership but I try to keep it on a professional basis. I don’t go to the floor and call people liars because I don’t think that, one, meets the rules of the Senate. The rules of the Senate say you’re not supposed to attack someone’s character and I think you can call them out and I’ve given ten-hour speeches, 13-hour speeches without calling anybody names but talking about the history of our country. The importance of the bill of right, the importance of the fourth amendment and privacy. But I tend not to have the same strategy of attacking people personally. It hasn’t done well for him in Washington. It may be rousing people, but ultimately I don’t think he’ll — that kind of personality would allow him to be the nominee."
