Coverage of presidential candidates is too much like "American Idol," with high-polling Donald Trump getting all the air time, says Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.People telling pollsters they'll vote for Trump are doing so because Trump is the only candidate they've seen because of media coverage, Paul said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "The people don't get out and vote. About 10 percent of Republicans will vote in Iowa," Paul said. "If we skew the coverage towards the polls, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. I think we need to examine over things and distribute the coverage better so we have a chance of getting a better president."Paul also appeared Sunday on "The Cats Roundtable" on AM 970 in New York, telling host John Catsimatidis that "Trump support is very soft … We shouldn't be careless to elect a leader who sends a signal to the world that we're going to kill women and children that are related to terrorists."Paul joined others' criticism of Trump over his lack of knowledge of the nuclear triad, the military's combination of land-, air- and sea-based nuclear weapons."During the debate, absolutely, Trump had no clue what the nuclear triad is and he'd been asked the question previously on the radio by Hugh Hewitt on the radio and had no idea what it was," Paul told "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper. "Now they've discovered what it is, they're ready to use it? I think this is worrisome that not only Trump but [New Jersey Gov. Chris] Christie and others on the stage who are really eager to have war."Friday's $1.1 trillion budget bill, which Paul voted against, "came at the behest of right-wing Republicans who want military spending and left-wing Democrats who want welfare spending," he told Catsimatidis.
