Brian Doherty on Rand Paul's State of the Union Response
Credit: Gage Skidmore / Foter.com / CC BY SAThe official Republican response to
President Obama’s State of the Union address last night was from
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. But the Republican Party is a house
(partially) divided now, with a self-conscious rebel wing, and the
semi-official “Tea Party” response came from Kentucky Sen. Rand
Paul. As Brian Doherty observes, Paul’s speech not only revealed
key differences between his approach and that of Rubio, it showed
that Paul’s brand of libertarianism has a central role to play in
the future of the GOP, including the 2016 presidential
campaign.
