Rand Paul is like his dad, Ron Paul.

Both started out with the best intentions and spectacularly go off the rails.

I’ll give Randcid props for the tie clip. I still have my father’s eagle tie clips from before he earned his star. Otherwise, he’s a filthy liberdopian.

Massie has made a career as a self-aggrandizing clown in Congress. It’s beyond retarded to waste money and political energy to wage a primary battle against such an inconsequential character in the U.S. government.

Its exactly the opposite actually.

They stay in the exact same spot, anchored to their principles, while the rest of the GOP moves farther toward globalism and big government.

No, they both began upholding the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended as the Supreme Law of the Land and descended from there.

Elon backed DeSantis in the primary and got his ass kicked. He is not a king maker.

Some people are doers while other people are posers. The contrast between Trump and Massie/Rand is stark.

Not to disparage Kentucy, but why do they keep electing azz-clowns to congress? Its not a terribly important state... the least they could do for the Nation is sending responsibile people to the Capitol...

I’m not sure about the best intentions part but I do agree with the spectacularly off the rails part.

Most Kentuckians are democrats at heart and have been since FDR days. A lot of them have the republican label, but they want democrat policies of days gone past. They never met a government program that they didn’t like.

You are speaking from a position of limited knowledge.
Rep Tom Massie has a 96% Heritage Action score for the current session of Congress.
Below is the link.
Rep Massie’s Heritage score
https://heritageaction.com/scorecard/members/M001184/117

I’m in the KY 4th, I’ve always voted for Rep Massie and he will always have my vote as the 4th’s Rep.
SuperPac to primary Massie is why conservatives refer to the GOP as the stupid party.
The Dems don’t waste $$$ running against Massie in the General
$$$ would be better spent on RINOs Lisa Murkowski or Collins of Maine primaries, but it’s the stupid GOP.
Remember PDJT supported him in 2024. And when Rep Massie wins his primary, PDJT will support him again.
I’m MAGA but I’m a realist and Massie is a libertarian. Y’all need to deal with it.
So far a nurse from Spenser County w 160 FakeBook followers n an unknown Navy SEAL is running against Massie.
Neither are going to primary Massie, he fits the 4th like a leather glove.
Maybe PDJT will bring in BOMBSHELL Hannity for a rally – that will garner a crowd of a 1000 Mitch GOPe clowns and 1200 Dems.
My family and my circle of friends and co-workers would never vote for Massie in POTUS Primary bec of his libertarian natl security values n views
And he knows this bec I n several others have written him on his congressional email but he’ll have our vote as Rep.
All of you w the hyper-bravado – You need to stay in your Lane, you don’t have a vote in his re-election – We Do!
Super Pac is wasting $$$, Massie will Win by 16% in 2026.

You can make book on that!

And he votes with the democrats on the important bills.

The handful of assh*les who pretend to be conservatives and MAGA (although Massie is a libertarian) are good at blackmail but little else. They’ve misled me and most others. Time to expose them. I’ll be back tomorrow. Lots to inform you about. https://t.co/9rKLZXgzGa— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) April 16, 2024
