Just one question. When has Rand Paul’s strategy ever paid off for his constituents?

“Just one question. When has Rand Paul’s strategy ever paid off for his constituents?”

Fair question - and I don’t have an answer. My adult children and I used to have this debate about Rand’s father - and I took your position.

I raised my kids as constitutional conservatives but they went one step further and rejected both major parties except Ron Paul who they trusted.

I used to make RR’s argument that 80% of what you want is better than nothing. Their rebuttal was that it’s nowhere near 80% - it’s more like 0% because the RINOs are no different than the Dems.

It’s funny - what we were arguing about specifically was my belief that they should hold their noses like I did, and vote for McCain and later Romney - I was SURE any Republican would be better than Obama.

Now I’m not so sure.
