I do like Rand Paul, but he sure the hell can get on my nerves.
><><
That’s exactly how I feel about him.
Ditto.
90% of the time I think he has a good point. What more can I really ask for?
I once liked both Ron and Rand Paul.
As you folks say, you like him but he gets on your nerves.
When it comes to getting on my nerves the way Ron and Rand did/do it, there comes a time when I no longer like them.
I passed that point with both of them a long time ago.
Are they good on some things? Yes, I believe so. Sadly, I’ve seen them grandstand so many times against things I wanted, that I no longer have tolerance for either of them.
I have a hard enough time following their logic, and to my way of thinking, they toss way way way too much cold water on Trump when he needs the public to get behind him.
Rand comes out saying he won’t back Pompeo. While he’s mulling that over for weeks on end, a lot of folks take note and it kills support for Pompeo, and Trump.
Then Rand jumps to the positive side thinking he’s made his point and all is well. Sadly, folks are still out there having heard him say no, and haven’t seen him change yet.
This stupid ass tactic hurts our cause.
We need folks to fall in behind Trump, and Rand defeats the realization of that.
