patrick henry, virginia mocked the delaware ratification convention. it sat for a day and a half i think and it spent all its time writing and adopting an offer of 100 square miles to the federal government for the location of its seat of government as the constitution specified. now, this is rather large part of the state of delaware. pennsylvania followed suit several days later with ratification and an offer of 100 square miles anywhere in the state of pennsylvania except for philadelphia which was its only port. now, we would be perfectly fine for congress according to the pennsylvania ratification convention to choose german town which was now basically central philadelphia philadelphia. i've had the cold. other states ratified by june 1788 nine states had ratified because constitution writers and founders drafters of the constitution provided that it didn't take uninimity to ratify in three-fourths of the states. so it was ratified. congress started debating when the new government would meet when the president would be elected and so we have our

like a man coming over the hill singing, i think when we proclaim our message with the passion of patrick henry, but also like a man coming over the hill singing, we will be the dominant party again. thank you very much. [applause] i am told we have time for two or three questions, as long as they are easy questions. [laughter] >> on the day that hillary clinton announced that she was running for president, elizabeth warren was on television announcing that she was not running for president. do you believe that the democrats will run elizabeth warren as hillary's vice president? if so, how do we respond to that challenge? sen. rand paul: i'm starting to worry that when hillary clinton travels, there will need to be two planes. one for her entourage and one for her baggage. [applause] i'm concerned that the plane with the baggage is really getting heavy, and i concern that there will be more of a primary than anyone thinks over there. here's the thing. the whole e-mail thing -- she think she is above the rules she doesn't have to use a government server, that her server was protected by the secr
