Welcome to our world Dr Paul
by digby
You know, the world where the rich are treated better than the poor, where those who are not considered to be as good as others because they aren't "winners: are relegated to second class citizen status? In other words, libertarian utopia?
Rand Paul thinks it's unfair that the national front-runner is treated so much better than someone who is barely registering in the polls. They should be treated equally, dontcha know.
The drama began Tuesday afternoon as RNC officials led campaigns on a walk-through of the debate site. After touring the stage, candidates got a peek at what their greenrooms looked like.
Trump was granted a spacious room, complete with plush chairs and a flat-screen TV. Marco Rubio got a theater-type room, packed with leather seats for him and his team of aides. Carly Fiorina’s room had a Jacuzzi.
Then there was Chris Christie, whose small space was dominated by a toilet. So was Rand Paul’s.
After the walk-through ended, RNC officials, led by chief strategist Sean Spicer and director of finance events Anne Marie Hoffman, guided the 35 or so advisers upstairs for a meeting. There, Spicer complained about a series of recent press leaks on RNC-led conference calls with campaigns. He also outlined the planned format for the fourth Republican debate, to be held in Milwaukee and broadcast on Fox Business on Nov. 10.
But with some campaign advisers steaming over what they’d seen during the walk-through, the discussion veered back to greenrooms.
“This is ridiculous,” fumed Christie’s campaign manager, Ken McKay. “We’re in a restroom.”
Paul’s team also piped in, with one adviser, Chris LaCivita, demanding that something be done to remedy the situation.
I sure hope they provided the bottle of Cristal and removed all the brown M&Ms as stipulated in the rider or there will be serious hell to pay.
