While Donald Trump was somehow willing himself to shake the greasy, germ-infested hands of New Hampshire diners yesterday, Kentucky senator Rand Paul was also in the state, and he had some cutting jokes about the man who, by the way, remarked in February that “Ron Paul cannot get elected, I’m sorry“:



“I’ve come to New Hampshire today because I’m very concerned,” Mr. Paul said. “I want to see the original long-form certificate of Donald Trump’s Republican registration.”

As a bit of laughter erupted in the room, he added: “Seriously, don’t you think we need to see that?” …

“I’m going to believe it when I see his embossed seal to his Republican registration,” said Mr. Paul, a rising figure in the Republican Party who is visiting New Hampshire this week during the Congressional recess. He spoke with a smile, but his words marked one of the first times that a leading Republican has challenged Mr. Trump’s ties to the party.
