Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul lashed out at Donald Trump on Thursday. He said front-runner Donald Trump might be better off trying to join the Democrats in a debate.
As reported by CNN, Paul told Alisyn Camerota on “New Day”:He has brought the debate, the presidential debate, the tenor of the debate to a historical low. Maybe (he’s) afraid of the fact that he’s never voted in a Republican presidential primary. For 70 years, he’s been a progressive Democrat. I was wondering if maybe he’s going to show up for the Democratic primary debate next time.
Paul said Trump wants to avoid discussing his business bankruptcies and desire to expand the power of the presidency.

He also pointed out Trump’s decision to boycott the debate was different from his own decision to not participate in a recent GOP debate.
It’s kind of the opposite actually. I was lobbying to get in the debate and he’s running away from the debate. I was never lobbying to avoid questions from a tough questioner.
Paul boycotted the last Republican debate earlier this month because Fox Business Network assigned him to the undercard stage due to his position in the polls.
He continued to say Trump’s personal attacks against Megyn Kelly were “inappropriate.”
