With Six Words, Rand Paul Makes It Clear He Plans to Unload on Donald Trump During CNN Debate

Republican presidential contender Rand Paul made it clear with six words that he plans to go after rival Donald Trump in the looming CNN debate, saying during a Tuesday interview, “I think he deserves both barrels."

The Kentucky senator made the comment during an interview with conservative news website The Daily Caller.

“I want to make sure everyone in the whole country knows he’s a fake conservative," Paul added.

The libertarian firebrand, who has been relentless in calling trump a "fake conservative," has predicted Trump's star power will fade when voters learn about the liberal positions he previously held.

“I think ultimately when voters fully grasp who he is and what he supports, I think they’ll run away with their hair on fire," Paul told The Daily Caller.

“The message hasn’t penetrated yet that Donald Trump isn’t one of us,” Paul added to the website. “He’s barely a Republican. He’s been a Democrat. He’s been a huge supporter of Harry Reid, Charlie Rangel.”

Paul is not the only Republican presidential contender who will likely face off with Trump during CNN's Wednesday debate. It's anticipated that former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who has been critical of the real estate billionaire in recent weeks, will skewer him on the main stage.
