Best part of the article is toward the end where Rand is described thusly:
The Kentucky Republican has a history of libertarianism, and his comments are not a surprise. Former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), the senator’s father, introduced a bill to lift the embargo.
Still, the remarks are striking, since it is rare for a mainstream Republican contender for the White House to break firmly from support for the Cuban embargo.
In what freaking universe is Rand Paul “mainstream”?
Not in Kentucky, where most Republicans despise him.
