Common sense in a world devoid of such. I don’t think this man would have been remarkable 30 years ago. What is remarkable is there are so few guys like him in congress today.

Back in the day...1966( I think )the youth conservative political group YAF was opposed to Viet Nam as not our business. They had a national convention and the leaders announced without a vote that YAF had changed its view and the patriotic thing to do was to support US efforts in VietNam.

Many disgusted delegates left the convention and went to the bridge tournament in the same hotel in Boston. I was one of them.

What's my point? At its beginning, the youth conservative movement was anti war and mostly isolationist. Rand Paul could bring us back.
