"{H}e has argued that liberals should... instead embrace Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) as a possible leader of his dream coalition."

Here's what the article says:

But Nader qualified that the success of his envisioned left-right alliance is dependent on strong leaders. He said Sen. Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul, has the potential to be a leader for the alliance, but added that he thinks the Kentucky Republican has certain shortcomings as a leader.

“He’s a mixed bag, you know, he's evolving. He's broadening his issues that he's talking about and they’re beginning to resonate,” Nader said. “On the other hand … he has problems dealing with people.”


Hardly embracing, but that kind of mischaracterization is to be expected from somebody who tries to legitimize Fox News by going on and acting as a Democratic punching bag.
