@RandPaul

Turns out my grandson is actually invited to the Congressional Picnic! He is ready!

------

“Of course Senator Rand Paul and his beautiful wife and family are invited to the BIG White House Party tonight,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday morning.

“He’s the toughest vote in the history of the U.S. Senate, but why wouldn’t he be?”

That's great but I think Trump might be disappointed

That’s the idea. Give Rand the chance for betrayal.

Trump has adopted Rand’s “if they’re working, let ‘em stay” stance apparently. If this Iranian madness is anything more than brinksmanship, futures on Rand look very good.

Let rand paul talk open his big mouth and badmouth Trump’s budget bill and how he’ll vote no on it....

when asked by Trump in front of the media ... “Rand will vote for the budget bill and help get it passed, right, rand?”

Let them leave, promptly, and voluntarily, and come back, if they choose to, according to some aspect of positive law.

If they choose to stay, though here illegally, why should we cater to them?

Trump played him like a fiddle, all Rand cares about is DC social events, especially with his his Trump temper tantrum yesterday.

Rand wants a redo of the bill I cannot see it happening but who knows.

He wants the debt ceiling hike off the table

Rand turned out to be a huge fraud. Disgraceful.

I would not have guessed that this White House picnic would be of such great significance to “Happy Warrior” Rand.
Everyone has their personal list of What Matters.
Maybe Mrs. Paul had been looking forward to it.

She was going to bring her fish sticks.

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Not happening. That would be a terminally stupid move.
Within the next few months there will have to be a rise.
At that point it would require 60 votes. To get those votes there would be a large $demand from democrats for their agenda. Either Rand is disingenuous or he’s not good with strategy.

With Rand Paul posing his grandson in a MAGA hat, who’s “courting” who?

To: RandFan; All
Charlie Kirk interviewed Rand very respectfully the other day. A good interview. It was a good discussion, enlightening those who listened.

At the end Charlie explained what will happen if Rand got his way. Doing so would take away the possibility of passing it with 50 votes. Which would mean we would have to negotiate with Schumer and give the democrats a list of things far worse than anything Rand is complaining about. At this point we have to give zero to democrats. The bill is not perfect, but as is, it is far better than anything that is passable. It codifies a lot (a lot) of the MAGA agenda we all love, and starting over isn't a path to any kind of victory.

Rand likely knows all this (if he doesn't he's terribly naive), yet there he goes. My hope is Rand is doing a good job hyping his issues to change the bill now. My realistic sense is telling me there is something negative going on with him. We'll see.

I know you won't engage with this. Which is a sad state.
