Edit: If Paul Wins, Raul Wins

Congressman Raul Labrador, the only member of Idaho’s congressional delegation to endorse someone in the GOP presidential race, may have learned something about himself when sitting on the sidelines four years ago as candidates were posturing for the 2012 election. First, he’s not much of one for sitting on the sidelines. He went to Congress in 2011, promising to make a lot of noise, and not taking up space. He has kept his word - often blasting away at the political establishment of both parties. The second thing he might have learned is that sideline sitting does nothing for him, personally or politically. Being a non-entity in almost anything, especially a presidential race, does not fit his personality. So it’s no surprise that Labrador has endorsed Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. And it’s no surprise that Paul appointed Labrador to head his campaign in the Western states. Politically, it’s a match made in heaven - or in the other direction, depending on your political perspective/ Chuck Malloy , Lewiston Tribune op-ed. More here.

Question: How would Raul Labrador benefit from a Rand Paul presidency?
