Rand Paul's 'secret tape' attack A fake phone call between Bush and Hillary Clinton is aimed at social media.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the 2016 field’s most prolific adopter of social media, has posted what aides wryly call a “secret tape” of a fake phone call between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.

RAND PAC, Paul’s political organization, used actors to enact the conversation, which hits both rivals on the dynasty issue.


“Bush” tells “Clinton” he’s thinking about running for president: “I just wanted to call and give you a heads up in hopes we could work something out.”

“Clinton” says: “We both agree on so many issues: bigger government, Common Core and amnesty for illegal immigrants.”

Paul, who this week gave an interview to CNN via Snapchat, plans to distribute the audio via Twitter and other social platforms.

Here’s a transcript of the fake conversation ( or click here to listen):

Bush: “Hey, Hill. It’s Jeb.”

Clinton: “Hey, Jeb. To what do I owe this pleasure?”

Bush: “Well, it’s true — I’m thinking about running for president.”

Clinton: “Well, Jeb, so am I.”

Bush: “I just wanted to call and give you a heads up in hopes we could work something out.”

Clinton: “What do you mean, Jeb? It’s clearly my turn: Bush, Clinton, Bush. Now, Clinton.”

Bush: “Well, Hillary, there hasn’t been a Republican White House without a Bush since 1977, and we’re ready to be back.”

Clinton: “Let me shoot straight with you, Jeb, OK? Bill and I are dead broke and need a place to stay. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is calling me home — I’ve still got the back door key. Being president offers a lot more job security than writing another memoir.”

Bush: “Well, the Bushes have weathered attacks before. And, READ MY LIPS, Hillary: We’re not backing down this time.”

Clinton: “Well, you’re right — maybe we can work something out. We both agree on so many issues: bigger government, Common Core and amnesty for illegal immigrants.”

Bush: “Well, we’ve both got problems. You’ve got problems with the grass roots, and I’ve got all those damn conservatives. What say, we make a deal?”

[Call beeps in.]

Bush: “Sorry, Hillary, but I have to go. Mitt keeps calling.”

Clinton: “Oh, for crying out loud.”
