David Letterman: Rand Paul Makes 'Pure Good Sense'

Late night talk show host David Letterman had nothing but positive things to say about possible 2016 presidential candidate Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.

During a conversation with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Wednesday about the 2016 race, the comedian said he was impressed by the libertarian Republican, according to The Daily Caller.

"I've heard Rand Paul say things that seem just pure, hardcore, logical good sense," Letterman said on his "Late Show" on CBS.

Maddow was cautious in her agreement.

"Rand Paul sometimes makes a lot of sense," she said, but emphasized, "sometimes."

Paul has been traveling across the country in key states, and is looking to expand his base, focusing some of his efforts on black minority communities and their leaders.

"Rand is positioned to be the conservative who can build a bigger, more inclusive Republican Party so we can win in 2016," a Paul adviser told Politico last year, according to the Caller.
