Rand Paul has decided to be a message candidate, with an anti-Rubio message

Is Rand Paul still running for president? Or has he officially decided he’s just a message candidate?

And his message: Marco Rubio is dangerous, because he’s wrong about privacy, national security and war.

Follow Paul’s speeches and answers to questions, and you’ll see the theme.

“If Marco gets elected,” Paul told me Friday when I asked him his strategy for the Islamic State, “he’ll bomb the heck out of ISIS, and you’ll get it all rising back up in a decade.” I didn’t mention Rubio in my question or previously. Paul did.

If it’s about spending, it’s about Rubio: “I ask Sen. Rubio,” Paul said on stage today at FreedomWorks’ Rising Tide Summit, “is it conservative to add a Trillion dollars to the national debt? He says it’s for the military.” Rubio was the only Republican opponent Paul criticized in Cedar Rapids, either in his press conference or in his speech.
