Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul made his case for why he should be on the first-tier debate stage tonight on CNN.
Earlier today FOX Business Network announced that Rand Paul and Carly Fiorina did not make the main stage in Thursday’s debate.
Rand says he won’t participate in anything less than the mainstage debate.
“We are a contender. We think we have a national campaign that can contend for victory and we can’t accept sort of an artificial designation by anybody… I won’t participate in anything that is not the first tier.”
Rand Paul released this message tonight.
