@RandPaul

I actually wasn’t invited to the White House lunch today, but that’s ok I had a previously scheduled Liberty Caucus Lunch with ⁦@MassieforKY

Tell Trump to back off these two ⚠️ It's getting silly

Rand Paul is correct in some respects, but there are currently much much bigger battles to be won.

Paul wants perfect. Note to Paul -— there IS no perfect, this side of Heaven.

Paul is often right on “what” when wrong on “how”. He’d be better as a governor.

Know what? I don’t care if Rand is a complete blooming idiot or even if he was Nancy Pelosi for that matter. I have problems with Trump not inviting him and then making a huge point of him not being there. Bad taste... Poor form...

That is a direct intimidating threat to those who were there and were invited. “See what happens if you don’t do what I tell you to do! That is what happened to this guy! He was not invited because he did not do what I wanted him to do!”

Paul is a good Libertarian even if too often too much of a purist.

And in Congress he has too many Conservatives who are unwilling to cut government enough, and he can’t get a coalition of them together on his side.

As a governor he’d have veto powers. That would suit how his kind of action more than as a Congress critter.

The next Governor’s race in Kentucky is in 2027. Rand Paul should seek to replace the current Dim governor there. The governor’s office would be a better place for him than Congress.

I believe the former AG Daaniel Cameron will run to replace the current Democrat loser governor. How is a conservative state like Kentucky have a Dem Governor and 2 independent congress people.

Although both Paul and Massie do tend grandstand to make themselves look good, they are still infinitely more conservative than Lindsey Graham, who Trump referred to as great today.
