If the Rand Paul campaign has its way, at least half of them will endorse the Kentucky senator for president. Today, before Paul's foreign policy-focused speech in front of the decommissioned USS Yorktown, his campaign sent out a video from Representative Mick Mulvaney—like Paul, a class of 2010 victor—that all but endorsed the senator.
"Rand is going to be a tremendous candidate for president, and I think he'd make a tremendous president," said Mulvaney into a camera. "I encourage you folks to get involved with the campaign."
