Funny thing about the Pauls. Even when they are chastised for doing what folks think is wrong at the time they end up being right in the long run. It has happened over and over. Now that we know this, benefit of the doubt should be given up front. Because even though it might not look like it at the time, they very well could be ahead of the game and we just do not know it yet. We haven’t seen the cards they are holding yet.

That’s correct.

No doubt at the time people thought it was nutty/bizarre/unlikely.

Amazing really.

You are right - but I’ve always respected the Pauls’ side of things - even when Rand occasionally seemed to part ways with President Trump over foreign policy, various executive orders, etc..

The Constitution assigns the three branches co-equal power, which sets up a healthy but adversarial relationship between them.

Thus, in order to assert their constitutional roles, good conservative legislators like the Pauls must at times have healthy disagreements with Presidents, even good conservative ones like Reagan or Trump.
