MSM might do it on a national level, but this is a local election. Kentucy might get defensive of the national attacks on him. Who knows, many politicians are viewed negatively on a national level but get elected by their states constantly. Getting all that attention nationally might help him. It certainly won't hurt his name recognition
I disagree with his view that all abortion should be illegal and I mean all because he doesn't believe it is okay in cases of rape/incest.
But, I understand his view and can't criticize him for it. He believes life begins at conception and the baby's right to life overrules all other rights, even that of the mother.
I am not sure what his view is on abortion if it means the mother's life or the baby's.
No he didn't. he kept his cool in a pretty shitty situation.
If he answers that he would vote for the Civil Rights Act, he goes against his core beliefs in regards to freedom of speech. So although he doesn't agree with discrimination, he believes it is a private citizen's right to make that decision for themselves.
If he answers that he wouldn't not vote for the Civil Rights Act, then headlines would say "RAND PAUL AGAINST CIVIL RIGHTS ACT!"
