Sen. Rand Paul: Rival Gov. Jeb Bush will face ‘difficult’ crowd at CPAC
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) kicked off yesterday, and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) warned that one of his rivals might not be received with open arms when it's his turn to present his ideas in front of the thousands of conservatives who gather to hear movement bigwigs make their case.
Despite having a brother and father as former presidents, Paul said Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) may face a "kind of a difficult crowd" at CPAC on Friday because he's not right-wing enough.
"There's definitely a place for moderates," Paul said on Fox News' The Kelly File, "but it may not be quite the same level of enthusiasm for moderates at this conference."
