I mentioned this downstairs earlier today, but Rand never believed that rules apply to him:

Rand Paul asks Kentucky GOP leaders for a presidential caucus in 2016

Requesting help to avoid a “costly and time-consuming legal challenge,” U.S. Sen. Rand Paul is asking members of the Republican Party of Kentucky to create a presidential caucus in 2016 that would happen well ahead of the May primary election.

In a letter dated Feb. 9, Paul told GOP leaders that an earlier presidential preference vote would give Kentuckians “more leverage to be relevant” in the wide-open competition for the Republican presidential nomination.

And it could help him win that nomination, he said.

“You, as a member of the Kentucky Republican Central Committee, will be the one to decide if you want to help me get an equal chance at the nomination,” Paul wrote.

The letter went out to hundreds of Kentucky Republicans ahead of the party’s 54-member executive committee meeting March 7 in Bowling Green, where Paul will pitch the caucus idea to members for a vote.

Kentucky law prevents a candidate from appearing on the same ballot twice, and Paul and his allies have endeavored for more than a year to change the law or find a loophole that would allow him to run for the White House and re-election to his Senate seat at the same time in 2016.

Paul’s supporters also maintain that the law is unconstitutional, suggesting it could be challenged in federal court.

So, to recap:
* Kentucky law is unfair to him.
* The law should be changed only for him (but he’s not asking for special treatment…oh no, he IS NOT).
* And those pesky Kentucky Republican voters? Screw them, they don’t need to bother with having an actual vote.
