Rand Paul might be lagging far behind Donald Trump in the GOP presidential polls, but the Kentucky senator was able to dominate Twitter on Christmas Eve Eve with his annual #AiringofGrievances pegged to the fictional Seinfeld holiday Festivus. Rand posted a series of tweets aimed at other candidates.
Good morning and HAPPY #Festivus! I will be airing my grievances soon.

"I've got a lot of problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about them!" #Festivus

I have a lot of problems with Washington. With the government in general and Congress in particular. Those will come soon #Festivus

But first, my fellow Presidential candidates get the #Festivus treatment!

Where to start but @realDonaldTrump. If u bring the Yiddish, know what it means. Guess that's more of a kvetch than a grievance #Festivus
-- Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015
After the debates, @realDonaldTrump always trying to give us parting gifts of his made in China ties. Weird. #Festivus

My friend @tedcruz has still not pledged to issue exec order declaring Canadian "bacon" is not real bacon. Makes me suspicious. #Festivus

I have no grievances against my fellow doc @RealBenCarson because I have not heard a word he has said in any debate. #Festivus

I think I speak for all in NJ when I say @GovChristie I don't care how much $ u spend at Met Life, Cowboys fans should stay out. #Festivus

to my absentee friend @marcorubio, I didn't put your $170k+ salary in my waste report today. But I could have #Festivus
-- Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015
I hereby retract grievance I was going to air about @GrahamBlog today. Respect for the recently departed #EarlyFestivusPresent #Festivus

to my comrade @SenSanders: Unless you're Santa Claus, Socialism runs out of other people's money #Festivus

.@CarlyFiorina has ZERO trouble making it back from commercial breaks @HillaryClinton. Just saying. #Festivus #waronwomensrooms
-- Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015
Fiorina appreciated the kind tweet, sending greatings back to Rand.
Happy Festivus, @RandPaul. https://t.co/pDYVHbefZM

.@JebBush is always trying to change the debate rules to allow extra time for awkward pauses in answers. Not gonna happen. #Festivus

I've proposed multiple balanced budgets - most of my colleagues have voted no and aren't serious about shrinking government #Festivus
-- Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2015
What passes for serious in DC: budgets that take decades to "balance" in year 34 or so. It's y we need Balanced Budget Amend. & Term Limits
