@RandPaul

I'm not afraid to make the tough decisions, even if it means I'm standing alone.

Here’s the lie in all of this. If Trump is not successful and does not keep The House and does not pass the torch to another pro-American President in 2028, the democrats and establishment republicans will go right back to destroying America and all of these so-called principled stances will be for absolutely nothing and will long be forgotten.

If we lose, this website that we are so enjoyably chatting with each other on now will likely disappear along with free speech protections. All of the nation ending policies of The Biden era will return with a vengeance. Oh, and wait until you see the level of deficit spending then.

That's the problem with the "TikTok Bill".

Trump won't be in the White House forever. We'll have to assume that the next President is going to be Gavin Newsom. He'll use the law to shut down FR.

"None of those will stand against Rand it’s wishful thinking, he’d crush them let alone they respect him...McConnell’s seat is open and what those aforementioned will contest"

Go easy on the respect part, Trump proxy MAGA Rep. Randy Fine torched Paul over his tariff boohoo, and Comer and Cameron and Nate Morris all consider themselves MAGA. (Barr worked for shitstain Lil' Andy.)

You're forgetting that Miotch still has a base and a few competent staff and a monster warchest that can be deployed politically pretty much as he likes. Miotch would like nothing more than payback Rand by ousting him. His crew settles behind Cameron or Comer, it's on like Derby Kong. Josh Holmes has guided both Miotch and Rand to Senate wins -- if he picks one of the above not named Rand...

I admire your faith but to me it's a certainty that Jennings and Comer and that MAGA business guy Nate Morris (who is also running for McConnell's seat) run against Rand.

Jennings in particular will have a rival warchest if he commits to the run for Miotch's seat.

Whoever loses between Barr and Cameron will immediately pivot to replacing Lil' Andy, although if Barr loses to Cameron he too will consider another go at it vs Rand and like Jennings a rival warchest.

These are not the tomato cans that have been having a go at Miotch (the liquor store owner runner-up who renounced the GOP upon losing election night then woke up the next day and took it all back lol) or Rand (Dr Val Fredrick BS, DC, NAAC, KREC Broker, and FUGLY to boot runner-up LOFL).

No one thought John Sherman Cooper could ever lose his Senate seat in '54 and the Democrats dropped VP Alvin Barkley on him. Then he got in back in '60 when Nixon easily won Kentucky. Served 3 NON-consecutive terms in the Senate, and that is the hillbilly norm, not these safe seats that allowed Miotch to morph into a RINO China-appeasing knee-padding has-been or Rand to completely forget and forego his Tea Party roots.

“Rand is saying he’s NOT afraid to make the tough decisions “even if it means I stand alone””

since no one else wants to be sprayed with the splash-back, Rand stands alone while pissing into the wind AGAIN ...

"Risky I think"

It's his neck. He can do with it what he wants. But when you stand with the RATS, you deserve the redicule.

You did a good summary of the situation. We don't have time to play games with Rand. Surely Kentucky has some MAGA people somewhere. Thank God McConnell is on the way out.

He is not standing alone. He is courageously standing with Resistance.

A lot of things become impossible if people like Rand refuse to seize the possibilities.

Nothing exempts really tough decisions from being really, really stupid Rand.

There is a famous New Yorker cartoon where a mother noting a band in a passing parade says, ‘oh, look, everyone is out of step except my son.’

He's fiddling while the US burns. The man is dedicated to being a fraud, smiling while he gives the pretense of being a principled man.

He's the new John McCain. The new Mitt Romney. They stood alone while America burned as well.

Congrats Rand. Your little dog and pony show is well received by the democrats and RINOs who don't give a rats ass about whether America burns or not. As long as the leftist media gives you breath, you'll pontificate. What a phony man you turned out to be.

Here we have an amazing opportunity. To redirect our country to greatness. Chances to do this don't come around often. It's an inspiring time, and we have a great leader that is doing great things.

And here we are, with Rand ignoring the burning, ignoring the potential for greatness, while getting his sound bites, getting his posturing in.

He's like the man who saw himself in the mirror once, went away, then forgot what kind of man he was.

He's been in DC too long, loves the mirror of the swamp too much. So much that he'll obfuscate and obstruct goodness, in order to give the pretense that he embodies it himself. He has lost it, and will let things continue as they were in order to elevate himself. He's becoming a terrible human being.
