The Democratic National Committee has unleashed relentless attacks on a handful of GOP candidates in the ever-widening 2016 presidential field, while virtually ignoring others.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush have emerged as the DNC’s top punching bags, while the committee has mostly disregarded other campaigns — including that of businessman Donald Trump, who trails only Bush in some recent polls.

The Hill tallied the DNC's social media mentions of Republican presidential contenders, scanning press releases, tweets and Facebook posts from July 2014 through June 2015, to see whom the group has been hitting the most over the past year.

Paul ranks as the DNC's top target, with 203 mentions. Christie follows with 202 attacks, and Bush trails closely behind him with 199.

GOP campaigns are taking those hits in stride, touting the attention as a sign they are viable threats.

“It should come as no surprise that the DNC is targeting Senator Rand Paul with their attacks — he is the single biggest threat to Hillary Clinton’s candidacy,” said Sergio Gor, communications director for Paul’s campaign.

Great news!

Rand just must be the scariest one, to them.

Good!

I didn't realize just how bad the media truly was specifically with Rand and the GOP field after doing a little research. They have been ignoring him (of course) like crazy, yet he is still polling consistently in a close 2nd or 3rd place in nearly every national GOP poll.

Knowing that, then this article and the Democrat fear of Rand make perfect sense. Actions speak louder than words, and their actions are showing that they clearly are going after what they deem the biggest threat.

They will always tell you who they fear, by deed if not by word...
