Let the Democrats Win and import all the voters they need ?

[cranked]

Allowing Dem libtards a way out - letting them off the hook? No frakin’ way...let them hang themselves by continuing to place illegal immigration over ordinary U.S. citizens, yo!!

[Mariner]

An essential difference between conservatives and liberals:

Conservatives will ensure a fair process.

Liberals will ensure an outcome.

[Jim Robinson]

B/S. The democrats hate the military and really do not want to fund it.

Rand Paul is a libertarian partisan and loves playing the spoiler game. What a pooper.

[windsorknot]

Sorry, there’s no “doable” solution when you attempt to compromise with Satan. You can’t make deals with radical Leftists.

[windsorknot]

Well said.

[Paladin2]

Rand needs to tackle the ‘Rat Senators from behind and break their ribs.

Then they will come to their senses and build a manned wall to preclude any more “Dreamers” before offering some form of amnasty.

[Rashputin]

oh, yeah, a “give the democrats what they want” solution. Gotcha Rand.

[COBOL2Java]

Sen. Paul explained that was simply an unreasonable request but his solution would allow a bill to come to fruition that would produce compromise on both sides.

Paul, Paul, Paul. "Compromise" to DemocRATs means "you do everything our way". Surprised you don't realize this.

[odawg]

‘Oh, no, we want a guaranteed passage on a must pass bill.’”

I sure they do.

[COBOL2Java]

"Now when I presented this to Senator Durbin, they said, 'Oh, no, we want a guaranteed passage on a must pass bill.'"

LOL I wonder what Durbin will be telling the press about the meeting.

"Senator Paul told me 'We won't accept any bill that includes helping those s**thole alien kids!'. I was shocked!"

[9YearLurker]

Exactly. Just when I think Rand is a great senator he goes all disaster on us.

[matthew fuller]

Hey Paul- I’ve got a better solution, guaranteed to produce an immediate end to the shutdown- start emptying the prisons of about 100,000 per day, and deport the prisoners to Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, Guyana and if they are really bad guys, send them to Iran or Gitmo. Don’t make a bit of difference where the prisoners claim to be from, deport them, and make sure that ALL illegals are included.

[ilgipper]

Rand is such a wild card. He’s 100% on board and a asset one minute and will kneecap you two minutes later.

[Jeff Chandler]

McCain isn’t even dead yet and this attention whore is taking his place.

[Fantasywriter]

The ‘Republicans,’ who voted lockstep with Schumer & co.:

Jeff Flake

Lindsey Graham

Mike Lee

Rand Paul

[Califreak]

Maybe he’s afraid of having another “mowing accident”.

[SaxxonWoods]

Dems have already rejected Paul’s idea. Democrats will fold, Trump knows it, Schumer knows it and here’s why.

If Trump caves to the Dems on DACA, it’s a big loss. If Schumer caves, he loses nothing. He just fights another day, and can claim the high ground “for the people I had to sacrfice” he can wail, “but we’ll stiull fight!”

Notice that Trump talks about winning, Democrats never do. They talk about fighting. That’s because the fight is their end goal, not the win. If they ever won their battles, they’d lose their reason to exist.

Dems have already rejected Paul’s idea. Democrats will fold, Trump knows it, Schumer knows it and here’s why.

ie Paul is just playing his part here showing the Democrats up as obstructionists. He's talking about the funding bill here not immigration.
