If Rand was escaping potential embarrassment caused by King then perhaps he shouldn't associate with him in the first place?

This. Why is he fleeing from a man he's willing to eat lunch with?

How does that piece of human garbage keep getting elected in an R+4 district? Bachmann almost lost even in an R+10 one.

Somebody answer that please

Gotta agree with my friends on the Right. Rand didn't do anything wrong, his team's just smart to avoid unnecessary controversy. Now would it be better to take it a step further and denounce Eteve King and stop fraternizing with him? Yes.

If the moderately liberal leftist here is calling you out, you know you're just grasping at straws because you're afraid Rand Paul can beat your precious Clinton and are looking for any opportunities to demonize him

Was his district R+4 before the remap? I think it's only in the last election he was in a competitive district.

Michelle Bachmann got way more national attention, way more negative national attention. Steve King is on Bachmann's level of nuttery but he's only known for some very stupid gaffes.

If Rand can eat at the same table as King, why can't he stay to correct him when someone comes to talk, rather than run away with his food in his hand?

The republican party disgusts me, but I can't really blame Paul for walking away.  Being in situations such as this one can only hurt you, especially if you have presidential aspirations.  There are better places to discuss the issues.

Gaffes are something that is a mistake. Steve King doesn't make mistakes, he says odious things on purpose.
