(CNN) Rand Paul once called Donald Trump a "delusional narcissist" and an "orange-faced windbag." Which makes the fact that the Kentucky senator has emerged as the chief defender of the President's unproven claims of being wire-tapped by the Obama Administration all the more amazing. "They were going to use the intelligence apparatus to attack Trump, and I think they did." (Paul took it even further, arguing that Rice should be subpoenaed to force her to tell Congress what she knows about the unmasking efforts.) The Trump-Paul alliance is, like most things in Washington, a marriage of political convenience.
