Sen. Rand Paul on Friday said he would support Donald Trump if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee, but he's not going to endorse any of the three remaining candidates in the race while the primary season is still going on.
"I think we never get the candidate we exactly want, unless you're the candidate," the Kentucky Republican told The Cincinnati Enquirer on Friday during a press conference held during a visit back home.
Trump and rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich have backed out of earlier pledges to support the eventual GOP presidential nominee, but Paul, who ended his own campaign for the White House in early February, said Friday any Republican will be a better choice than Hillary Clinton.
"Think about it from this perspective," Paul said. "I'm from Kentucky, and Hillary Clinton recently said she would put coal miners out of business, and she would put coal companies out of business."
Paul echoes the concern of many Americans here. Trump might not be the ideal candidate for many Americans, but neither is Hillary Clinton. Those outside of Washington whose lives will be materially altered by a liberal economic agenda don't have the luxury of being petty.

Four more years of a "liberal economic agenda" will surely bring us to ruin.
