@RandPaul

Boeing's just a wing of the federal bureaucracy—bloated, unaccountable, and failing. Either compete and do better, or stop wasting our tax dollars.

But much of FR hates Rand Paul, because he opposed Trump on something, once.

Failing? Maybe their planes are failing, but didn’t they just ink a deal for 160 planes this week?

Some will agree with this he’s talking about Air Force One

He’s also against the Qatar/gift/plane

Wouldn’t it be easier to name one time he voted with Trump? He is close to Collins, China Mitch territory.

No I despise him because he is worse than useless. He obstructs things that are in America’s benefit, mouths off with virtue signaling rhetoric and has accomplished nothing.

Strange, because in another part of the same interview, Rand Paul called Trump the best President in over 50 years.

I’m surprised he didn’t blame Israel.

He’s half right. Boeing is failing because they put an MBA been counter in charge of what should be an engineering company.

The company designed and delivered a lot of great planes over the years - but when Boeing purchased McDonnel Douglas, then kept the Boeing name under the MD management, they kind of chose their own fate.

Rand Paul is my favorite senator after John Kennedy.

If Rand Paul opposes Trump on something, it doesn’t make me react like an insane Democrat.

In reality both Boeing and Airbus have almost miraculous safety records. As a long time licensed pilot who lives on an airport... it is amazing to me the extent that slanted coverage by the media has shaped the public’s opinion in ways that do not match reality.

I sometimes disagree with Rand Paul, and sometimes disagree strongly. But I will never hate the man - he has far more principle than any random 25 GOP members of Congress combined.

They’re like Democrats and Trump. Trump can do nothing right, no matter what it is.
