Ron Paul should go away.
Here we go again. Rand Paul mucking things up. But does anyone know if he has a point?
Just when I was starting to like him he turns into his father.
If true they may have to wheel in McCain in his hospital bed. He might do it to flip off Rand. Or, he might vote no to screw Trump. I think it’s going to be a 50-49 vote. Red state D’s were put on notice. Their freaking Senate whip openly called for their defeat if they defect.
Rand Paul is a publicity hound, you have to have some sympathy with his poor neighbor. In the end, he will support the nominee, but he will relish all of the attention that comes in his direction. He is a wingnut.
Somehow, I doubt that he’s going to want to go back to Kentucky as the one that prevented a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. He’ll whine, cry and grandstand for the cameras...but he’ll vote to confirm in the end.
Rand Paul always has to be the turd in the punch bowl. I think he likes that role.
If I had to pick between Rand Paul, or Murcowski and Collins, I’m with Paul.
He will end up supporting him.
Jay Sekulow from the ACLJ is very pleased with President Trump’s pick and I like Jay so I’m pleased! He has known him for 20 yrs!! Good enough for me! GOOD CHOICE MR PRESIDENT!!
Anyone that thinks Rand Paul is going to sink Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court candidacy is loonier than Maxine Waters.
Paul will come to realize opposing Kavanaugh will be hazardous to his career and will vote for him.

Paul may be an asshole but he’s not stupid. He is smart enough to know that this is Trump’s party now and crossing over a hissy fit can bring problems.
He’s not that smart. This from an old article from Vox:
“Kavanaugh was tasked with investigating the death of deputy White House counsel Vince Foster in 1994, which many conservatives believed (absurdly) to be suspicious — a murder rather than a suicide. Kavanaugh and the rest of Starr’s investigators concluded that it was indeed a suicide.”
If he’s a John Roberts, big mistake.
Rand has said he’ll keep an open mind
A great man, a textulist, an originalist, a brilliant jurist with over 300 opinions, wonderful family and personal history, and Rand Paul is being an asshole again.
Who does he think he is, some butthurt internet poster who didn’t get his first choice?
Dang you Rand Paul. I like you but you need to be more of a team player!
Course something recently he said he wouldn’t vote but when it came down to it, he did.
