Is Rand Paul's ego a problem for him?

4)It’s clear Paul got into this fight with Rubio not because of policy differences, but because Rubio said he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.  It shows his ego is too big for his own good, cause he couldn’t handle an attack on his knowledge of this topic, even though it’s clear Rubio knows more about this topic than Paul does.  If you compare Rubio’s interviews to Paul’s on this topic, Rubio gives all kinds of details to back up his points, whereas Paul gives none and speaks in generalities, showing he hasn’t studied the issue, yet is somehow offended when he’s called out for that.

5)Paul is showing a lot of the same traits Obama has shown, which is a problem.  For example, this isn’t the first time he’s shown himself to have really thin skin.  The most notorious example being his reaction when various pundits and media people called him out for omitting some references his staff got from wikipedia in various speeches and op-eds he wrote:  What we are going to do from here forward, if it will make people leave me the hell alone, is we’re going to do them like college papers,” he said. “We’re going to try to put out footnotes.” He said that “we have made mistakes,” but that they had “never been intentional.   . .  . .”It’s also what people hate about politics, and it’s why, frankly, members of my family are not too interested in politics, period, or wanting me to do more of this,” he said. “To tell you the truth, people can think what they want, I can go back to being a doctor anytime, if they’re tired of me. I’ll go back to being a doctor, and I’ll be perfectly content.”
