Rand Paul: Not Running for President Except to Win, America Ready for Libertarian Republican

Fox News

Senator Rand Paul talked about his potential presidential aspirations on Fox News Sunday today, saying he won?t make an actual decision until next year. Via Politico:

"I would absolutely not run unless it were to win," the Kentucky Republican said on "Fox News Sunday." "Points have been made, and we we will continue to make points. But I think the country is really ready for the narrative coming -- the Libertarian Republican narrative."

Voters want a "different face," he said.

In order to expand the party's reach, Paul believes the GOP should embrace candidates who are willing to push a less aggressive foreign policy, comprehensive immigration reform and less punitive measures on first offenders of non-violent drug possession.

"We're doing fine in congressional seats, but we're becoming less and less of a national party," Paul said.

Paul garnered 10 percent in a recent PPP poll on 2016 (pdf), just below Chris Christie, Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee, almost four years out from the election.
