Brent Roske speaks with 2016 GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul in Iowa about the 2016 election, the Iran nuclear deal and Donald Trump. Rand Paul said his strategy for Wednesday’s debate has changed. “I think I went a little easy on Donald Trump. So I’m telling him now, you’re a fake conservative. And we’re going to make sure everybody in America knows, Donald Trump, you’re a fake.”
