Really Rand, is that the line you want to take?

Rand Paul, questions whether Donald Trump is Republican enough to head their ticket. This would be the same Rand Paul whose father has changed party affiliations twice and who once ran as a Libertarian against the Republican nominee for president and who is competing with Trump to be the Republican nominee next year.
"I’ve come to New Hampshire today because I’m very concerned," Mr. Paul said. "I want to see the original long-form certificate of Donald Trump’s Republican registration."

[...]

"I’m going to believe it when I see his embossed seal to his Republican registration," said Mr. Paul, a rising figure in the Republican Party who is visiting New Hampshire this week during the Congressional recess. He spoke with a smile, but his words marked one of the first times that a leading Republican has challenged Mr. Trump’s ties to the party.

Jeff Zeleny, the author of the NYT article, completely missed the irony.
