I will agree with you there. Rand Paul is a man of principle. I don’t see him as an attention hog, as some folks here do.
But Trump’s interdiction of drug smugglers on the high seas is very important. It’s actually Trump’s duty, given his charge to protect the nation.
Paul seems to see that action as equivalent to the United States invading some foreign country. In that, he’s gone too far. And so he’s become part of the problem.
As usual, your mileage may vary.
RAnd Paul i s an extremist Libertarian. He waxes and wanes, depending on whether hei vote counts or not, the more it counts the more he waxes......gives him a platform.
If one of his family were to die from fentanyl poisoning, he would soon change his tune on Trump using deadly force on the High Seas against the drug cartel Pirates of the Caribbean.That makes him an ideological whore.We have too many of those in Congress on both sides of the aisle.
If I could wave a magic wand , I would turn him into Marjorie Taylor Green.
“Rand Paul is a man of principle.”
If that is true, then his principles are stupid.
“I don’t see him as an attention hog, as some folks here do.”
I see him as an unrelenting attention hog. His opposition to Trump’s handling of the narco-terrorists is unforgivable.
