This explains his recent actions. He's highlighting these credentials maybe as part of a run for higher office.
Some will like it, some won't.
So is he saying “Everyone in Congress could be wrong except for me”?
Midget Man won’t be standing alone....he’ll have a cadre of DEMS and RINOs backing him up.
Trump should hammer this little flake until he starts to cry.
He’s a solid Republican politican, who has suffered a LOT to stay in politics. Including several attempts at his very life!
His damaged lung was in need of surgery after being assaulted by a crazy left wing neighbor. He was within vicinity of Steve Scalise when Scalise was shot at the Congress baseball game. Among other close call instances...
Governor Sarah Palin’s endorsement took him over the edge when he first started running for Senate...
His father, Ron, has been an instrumental in shaping MAGA despite some profound ideological departures with Trump...
Sometimes I worry that Rand has too much of a personal grudge against Trump, with MAGA actually but...overall, principle has seemed to triumph in his world more than corruption...
This is the problem with these idealistic perfectionists.
He thinks he’s so right on every issue that he can’t look at the bigger picture involving a closely split Congress and the opportunity to take advantage of a strong Republican president.

Rand doesn’t care about what is possible. He could help the GOP gain a victory 80% of the time, but he’s too cool for that! He needs to be right 100% of the time. Which is one reason we lose so very much. A lot of things become impossible if people like Rand refuse to seize the possibilities.
Yes he’s pimping for the big office fail will ensue.
He’s turned into a yes boy for the power people.
There, fixed it.
Problem is if you don’t stand with your party you are effectively standing with the liberal democrats!
I had to check which party Rand Paul currently belongs to.
AI says he is a Republican.
I could see him making the case for belonging to either Republican or Libertarian.
Rand was born to the breed of Independence or Libertarianism, growing up as one of Ron Paul’s sons, raised in the Episcopalian Church.
He stands out in his field.
>> a run for higher office... Some will like it, some won’t.
Some may vote for him. The majority will have the common sense not to.
And standing alone means not properly representing his constituents.

“”@RandPaul
I’m not afraid to make the tough decisions, even if it means I’m standing alone.””
Problem is.... he’s not ‘standing alone’. He is standing against the Trump agenda... right along with the enemies of America, the Democrats and their assistants, the RINOs. Thus making RandPaul part of the problem and yet another enemy of America. Nice of him to self-identify, though. Makes it easier to know who to nix next time he’s up for election.
Just another McCain priding himself on being a “maverick “. Nauseating self obsession...
Has he ever been in a position to veto a spending bill?
