Rand is not as goofy as his dad, but that ain’t saying much.
You have WAY too much confidence in the average American. You forget - between the "education" system and the absolutely corrupt Progressive media - the sheep formerly known as Americans believe the Democrat propaganda every time the government sees one of these "shutdowns" - that the Republicans are responsible.
It is a fact - perception is the reality for most people. They perceived, because they are fed the sugar-coated Marxist toxins by the Media and Democrats, that Republicans are ALWAYS wrong - ALWAYS evil...
And the GOP, ever proving and justifying their nickname as "The Party of Stupid" fail to recognize this and keep plodding along with a limited audience listening to them.
I think Paul’s heart is right in this case - but for some reason extremely naive... for a guy who’s been around this garbage long enough to know better.
What Rand outlined is the way stuff is SUPPOSE to work in DC - with an elected body of statement who have what is best for the country in heart - even if they have differing viewpoints on what is “best”.
When you have a legislative body made up mostly of statements - they will indeed have constructive compromise - and often actually find the best way forward. Sadly - we discarded that kind of leadership with its statesmen years ago - and now elect partisan hacks who simply go for their pet, pocket-padding (their own) agendas.
I’m glad his neighbor kicked his ass.
This is not close to a “solution”.
Trump has the only possible 4 point compromise.
Constructive compromise between the Dems and their uniparty, GOPe counterparts is of course a massive amnesty and open borders with close to zero interior enforcement.
Paul’s not stupid.
I think it comes from his learning at the knee of his Dad, who was half brilliant, half crazy.
“Paul said the American people see though “partisanship and gamesmanship,” “
No, they don’t. If they did there would be no more liberals.
The White House hotline says it all: The government is shut down because democrats are holding it hostage.
in his latest efforts, for the past 1/2 year, he has been pitching his own deal to democrats to give citizenship not only to the daca illegals, but to the entire 3.6 million set of illegal alien 'dreamers', and their parents.

note he gets away with saying he will give citizenship to the much larger group of 'dreamers' by not saying registered daca illegal aliens, but 'My compromise all along was, those who are here, the kids that came here or their parents brought them here illegally, we could internally immigrate them,'.
if rand paul had his way, all illegal aliens (probably closer to 30+ million or more) would become citizens - which would fit the open borders viewpoint of libertarians which he believs in. this would effectively make it impossible for republicans to win further offices.
Senator Paul is looking more and more impressive.
That he would even confront that sh*tfly Tapper shows he has more stomach than most.
...which is the most concise definition of a bureaucrat that I know. Democrats nowadays are first and foremost bureaucrats (and champions of bureaucracy). What saddens me is that the FBI and the intel community has taken on that bureaucratic character as well. It's all being exposed because of Trump, and it is hideous.
