While campaigning Friday at Winthrop University in South Carolina, Republican presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul, took his message to a group he knew needed to hear it — a gaggle of Democrats gathered for an MSNBC presidential forum.

“Senator Paul will happily take his message of liberty and opportunity to every corner of this land,” said Sergio Gor, spokesman for the Kentucky Republican. “It was only right that the voters of South Carolina hear from someone who’s not a socialist or corrupted.”
Paul, who had spent the day at various forums, conducted a number of interviews at the Democratic event. Both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were in attendance.
He received hoots from Clinton supporters when he appeared on Hardball.
“I think Hillary Clinton is a neocon,” Paul told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. He termed her foreign policy stance “a recipe for disaster.”
“She supported the war in Iraq, in Afghanistan,” Paul said. “If Hillary Clinton is president, we will be back at war in the Middle East.”
Paul had earlier told students that Republicans and Democrats share the blame for the nation’s fiscal policy ills.
“There is a vocal group in the GOP that wants a blank check for the military and Democrats who want a blank check for welfare. It’s an unholy alliance to spend money,” he said.
Giving more power to states ends the federal spending spree, Paul said.
“States don’t have printing presses, they have to spend what they collect,” he said.
Paul also criticized Sanders’ socialist proposals.
“There is nothing for free – there is no free lunch,” Paul said, according to the Charlotte Observer. “If someone offers you something for free, treat them like a drug dealer and walk the other way.”
