Rand Paul rounded on the Republican establishment as he made his pitch for the support of party activists in the key state of New Hampshire.
From appearing in jeans to delivering a withering attack on the record of other Republicans, the Kentucky senator made sure he stood out from his rivals.
"I got tired of seeing people in my party getting in charge and not doing anything at all," he told activists at the party's “Leadership Summit” in Nashua, New Hampshire.
"They all look alike, the all sound alike, they all dress alike and nothing ever changes."
Mr Paul was the latest of the Republican hopefuls to make his pitch for the backing of activists in a state which will set the tone for the race for the party's nomination next year. A strong showing in the New Hampshire primary and the Iowa caucus will give a candidate a huge advantage in a crowded field, while a weak performance frequently proves fatal to an aspirant's chances.
Taking the stage to a background of thumping music, Mr Paul received standing ovations before, after and even during his address.
