“I didn’t pick this recent fight with the governor down in New Jersey, but…I think the party does better if we have less infighting so I would suggest, if he wants to ratchet it down, I’m more than happy to,” the Kentucky Republican said on “New Hampshire Today.” [...]

“I’ve been trying to help the national party grow bigger,” Paul reiterated one of his more familiar talking points to his radio host. “I’m the kind of candidate, if I were to be a national candidate, that would be someone that says, ‘you know, young people, Republicans…will protect your privacy, we do care about the internet, we do want to promote…a strong national defense but a less aggressive policy.’ And I think if you see that, I think that will grow our party.”
