Rand Paul Supporters Just Sent Him a Major Warning: ‘Don’t Skip…’

With the next Republican presidential primary debate around the corner, Rand Paul’s supporters are nervous he will hurt his chances by boycotting that event, as he did the last one, if he again doesn’t qualify for the main stage.

“Skipping the undercard debate, he got a lot of free press doing that, but I think it only works once,” State Rep. Keith Ammon, R-New Boston, told the Washington Examiner shortly before Paul took the stage at a town hall in Ammon’s district.

Ammon and his colleague, Rep. Eric Eastman, R-Nashua, both endorsed Paul early and expressed confident in his ground operation in New Hampshire. But the two state legislators suggested that skipping the next GOP debate, the final one before voting kicks off with the Iowa caucuses, could backfire for the already low-polling candidate.

Paul wouldn’t be rewarded with “the same attention” if he pulls the move a second time around, Ammon said.

Indeed, it would be difficult for the senator to draw a similar amount of publicity for the same stunt. After Paul announced his decision to skip the undercard debate, he was invited to appear on “The Dr. Oz Show,” “The Daily Show” and other cable news and talk radio programs.
