I got the impression that Rand was against Ted doing this, but decided to be supportive because of the overall goal, and because Ted supprted his filibuster. Rand is right that the Republicans will ultimately lose this particular fight, but wrong on how important making the effort is. He’s a bit defeatist about it, which is disappointing.
Still say Rand is playing the long game early, trying for the broadest coalition, lining up his chips, and has no intention of getting pigeon holed into one dimensional support, unable to break out.
Sarah would never do that, I don’t believe, do you?
Cruz will have do what Rand is doing, if he is going to be a contender, so we have to decide if we want to lean with him when he takes the curve, or not.
