Rand Paul actually said...

"My suspicion is maybe the president doesn't want a deal, that maybe he sees his campaign to benefit by not having a deal."

"He's not doing that. He's on the campaign trail all the time bashing us."

"I will endeavor reasonable discussion. I have a very good discussion with the president one-on-one and I personally said I would work with him."

"If he wants to work with us, he should call us and talk to us."
