The voters made President Trump the commander in chief, not Rand Paul.

Congress has not voted to go to war since 1941. Rand has been pretty good at going along with all the kerfuffles up til now.

“The voters made President Trump the commander in chief, not Rand Paul.”

That pesky Constitution requires Congress to declare war before the president can prosecute war as Commander in Chief.

You might also recall Trump ran on a platform of no wars. The voters voted for no wars, not for a major conflict. The voters certainly did not vote for the US attacking other nations.

Which exactly what is wrong with the Democrats, they are going against the American people who overwhelmingly voted for DJT. They have zero respect for the constitution, our military and thus the American people.

I can not imagine any U.S. Senator saying anything like this, let alone during war. Just who the hell does this loser think he is, a man who came in on the bra straps of his mentally compromised wife, shot by a mass shooter.

Mark Kelly yesterday with Jen Psaki…..

“I watch this group of people who were supposed to be leading our country, not just the president, secretary of defense and others ... and I’m thinking you could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in Washington, D.C., just a random group, and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now with this,” Kelly said. “They don’t have a goal. There’s no strategic plan. There’s no timeline. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans and no rationale for how this is helping the American people.”
