What Does This Have To Do With Being A U.S. Senator?

"Delta and Coca-Cola and Major League Baseball need to realize that about half of the country is Republicans and we're not very happy with them right now," he griped. "So if they don't want Republicans at the baseball games, if they don't want us to tune in to their baseball games on television, just keep behaving this way." 

Paul added: "People like me who love baseball don't like being called a racist by Major League Baseball, don't like Delta and Coca-Cola calling us that. And we're going to object to it and going to push back. And if they continue in this direction, fine, maybe Republicans don't have to drink Coca-Cola anymore."

Does he realize what he's describing is precisely why the South is dominated by the GOP now?  The culture of the South didn't change; only the party labels did.

As for being called a racist:  well, if the shoe fits...

And I haven't bought a Coke or watched an MLB game, even on TeeVee, in decades. Am I now part of the GOP?  Am I objecting to anything, or pushing back?  Yeah, boycotts require leadership and effort.  Is Sen. Paul known for either of those attributes?
