As he pulls together his expected presidential campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire, Sen. Rand Paul is confronted by defections from an unexpected quarter: the die-hard idealists whose energy powered his fathers campaigns.

That network of committed supporters was expected to convey to Paul, the natural successor to Ron Pauls libertarian movement, providing him with a plug-and-play ground organization in the make-or-break early voting states. But instead of embracing the Kentucky senator, many of those grass-roots activists are turning their backs on him, disillusioned by the younger Pauls concessions to mainstream politics.

Story Continued Below

One of the most prominent defectors is Drew Ivers, chairman of Ron Pauls 2012 Iowa campaign, who says he will not endorse Rand Paul for president. On Tuesday, three members of Iowas Ron Paul-aligned Liberty movement state Sen. Jason Shultz and former Iowa Republican Party central committee members Chad Steenhoek and Joel Kurtinitis announced the same, adding that they will support Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Ivers said he does not plan to endorse any candidate.

Sen. Rand Paul continues to have tremendous support from the vast majority of the liberty movement, said Sergio Gor, communications director for the Paul campaign.

Shultz had endorsed Ron Paul in 2012 and Kurtinitis served as his Iowa regional director. Steenhoek worked for Newt Gingrichs Iowa campaign but was sympathetic to Ron Paul, who endorsed Steenhoeks subsequent bid to serve on the state central committee.

Ivers, who had dinner with Rand Paul in August, said the Kentucky senator has abandoned many of the stances that made Ivers loyal to his father.

Hes moderating on most of them, not taking a real clear stance on a number of them, said Ivers. The strategy of sending a blended message is one that has risk.

That was never an issue for Ron Paul, whose uncompromising ways and willingness to operate on the margins relegated him to the sidelines of national politics. Even at the height of his national influence and popularity in 2012, the Texas congressman proved unable to win the popular vote in a single state and never seriously contended for the GOP nomination in several tries.

Rand Paul, by contrast, won statewide office in his first try and has established himself as a viable presidential candidate with a talent for taking the movements liberty message to a broader audience.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) Rand Paul is facing defections from an unexpected quarter: the idealists who powered his father Rons presidential campaigns.

Instead of embracing the younger Paul as he pulls together his expected presidential campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire, many of the grass-roots activists who backed Ron Paul are turning their backs on his son. The problem, writes Politico, is their disillusionment with Rand Pauls concession to mainstream politics. The chairman of Ron Pauls 2012 Iowa campaign, for example, says the younger Paul is moderating on many key stances.

Hillary comes down to earth: Also in Politico on Friday: what Hillary Clinton will do immediately after she kicks off her own presidential campaign. According to several people familiar with the planning process, the former first lady will embark on a short tour that will almost certainly include Iowa and perhaps other states to interact with voters in a series of events. Most of them will be in what Politico called low-key settings.

Ryan open to budget deal: Rep. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said Thursday hes open to another bipartisan budget deal to alleviate sequestration before it returns in October. Ryan, writes the Huffington Post, cautioned his ability to bring along other House Republicans is more limited now that he no longer leads the House Budget Committee. But he said he was willing to support a deal that raises spending caps, as in the deal he brokered two years ago with Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat from Washington.

Budget clears Senate: The Senate adopted a Republican budget for fiscal year 2016 just before 3:30 a.m. Friday, with no Democratic support. As The Wall Street Journal writes, it marked the first GOP budget to clear the Senate in almost a decade and brought Republicans closer to passing a budget through both congressional chambers. Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky voted against it. Cruz has announced his presidential bid, and Paul is expected to do the same soon.

Guess whos coming to dinner: If its Iowa, it must be campaign season. The Des Moines Register reports nine Republican presidential contenders have told Iowa GOP officials they intend to speak at this years Lincoln Dinner fundraiser, scheduled in May. Confirmed guests are Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Donald Trump and Scott Walker. None have announced their candidacy yet.
