Get in, losers, we're getting Chik-Fil-A.
The Democratic presidential candidates spent their Tuesday preparing for the evening debate. Republican candidate Rand Paul, for some reason, spent Tuesday livestreaming his own self going about his own self day.
He wasn't very happy about that plan, either.
“I wish I knew" why the livestream was happening, Paul said. “I’ve been saying, I don’t want to do this, I don’t want to do this and now we’re doing this.”
Hey now, you said you could stand up to Vladimir Putin. Don't go implying that you're powerless against your own marketing team.
As it turns out, being Rand Paul is not all about shooting at tax codes or feeding Obamacare text into wood chippers, or however those things went. Being Rand Paul is mostly boring, with a lot of riding around in cars and complaining bitterly about things. By the end of the day he had gotten more than a little testy, as when, during a mini-stunt in which Rand Paul tried to answer the most-asked Rand Paul questions on Google, he responded to the question are you still running for president.
"I wouldn’t be doing this dumbass livestreaming if I weren’t," he said. "So yes, I still am running for president, so get over it."
Then he seemed to rethink his take. "This is live -- we can't edit this, right?" he asked.
No, it turns out, they could not edit this.
So that was Rand Paul's day, a day in which Rand Paul's staff sent their own campaign trackers to stalk Rand Paul. They probably won't be doing that again.
