| Description | Sen. Rand Paul has a new attack line against Donald Trump: The tycoon is Gollum from J.R. R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings.”
In a Facebook post, Paul writes, “One candidate on this national stage wants you to give him power. He tells you he is rich, so he must be smart. If you give him power he claims he will fix America, but there is another tradition in America. A tradition that believes that power corrupts, and that our goal should be not to gain power but to contain power or limit Presidential power.”
“Trump is ignorant of this tradition, or worse yet, he is overtly opposed to the limited government tradition. This race should not be about who can grasp the ring. Electing Gollum should not be our objective,” Paul continues. |
