"All of this, from my past understanding, is part of the basis for conservatism."

Well, it's bull$hit, because Conservatives don't believe in open borders, protecting DACA illegals from having to self-deport at the age of 21, (a Bill Rand Paul co-sponsored with RAT Felix Padilla in September,) also allowing illegals who already broke the law to come here, to remain if they haven't committed a crime since they've been here. He voted against President Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill this year which included border security funds. Those are the things Rand Paul supports, and more, like wanting to take away President's Trump power to determine tariffs. If he's a Conservative, why is he voting with the RATS lock-step to keep the government closed? He's a Grandstander, nothing more.

“He’s a Grandstander, nothing more.”

My point about the comparison of libertarian versus conservatism is that they are much alike. But the problem with Paul is he follows neither philosophy. You called him a grandstander in your last sentence. I called him a user. About the same except the user takes advantage while the grandstander allows others an opinion to make his point. He just uses whoever is in his best interest to prosper. And that’s the mistake of the conservatives. They should set a standard and expectation of conservative supporters and kull them out as they fail it. But they don’t have the pelotas. You either are loyal to your commitment to your citizens or you are also a lying failure. And if it comes to a war between the parties, and if you are right, bring it on.
