I would trust Rand Paul to carry the Trump agenda in the future.

The alignment is close and Paul was never really a Libertarian.

"Constitutional Conservative", the moniker he gave himself, is the more appropriate characterization.

He's the front runner for the future. Or, I do hope he is.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Some of the most libertarian-leaning members of Congress, such as Sens. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), have served as forceful critics of Trump within the GOP.

Complete and utter garbage. It would actually make garbage itself edible.

Trust Rand at your own risk.

I think they miss-spelled liberal.

The only Senator who is allying with Trump it seems.

The Pauls were never full-out libertarians. Although Ron Paul ran for president in 1988 as a Libertarian, he endorsed the Constitution Party candidate in at least one subsequent election. I would call the Constitution Party paleoconservative.

Rand is less libertarian, by a shade, than his father was.

To call Jeff Flake a “libertarian” is a joke. I don’t think it really applies to Sasse either. Flake is just an Establishment RINO. Sasse is a conservative. Amash comes closest to meriting the libertarian label.

I've been using "Constitutional Conservative" for quite a few years. Is Rand Paul a FReeper?

I do hope Rand Paul gets past gatekeepers such as Bolton and Fiona Hill. SOMEONE has to get through to President Trump.....he's being suckered in by the warmongers.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

Rand Paul’s foreign policy is a heck of a lot better than John Bolton’s, but Trump is going for the NeoCon/Deep State foreign policy at the moment it appears.

[Robert DeLong]

He has certainly elevated his position in my eyes.

[Openurmind]

The man is ridiculed and persecuted consistently for standing his ground on principle against wrong on both sides.

[cdcdawg]

Rand has a long way to go to win my trust. I’m not saying it can’t be done. At least he’s supporting the President unlike most of the elected GOP. He is awfully short for a contender. It shouldn’t matter, but it does.

[SolidRedState]

Ben Sasse is NOT a libertarian. He is a RINO. Ok, maybe a bit better than a RINO but certainly not a libertarian.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Of the current Senators he is one of the few I would like to see run after Trump’s two terms.
Rand Paul and Tom Cotton maybe.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

LOL. You can't make this stuff up. These reporters must be on drugs. Unbelievable!

“I would trust Rand Paul to carry the Trump agenda in the future.”

ditto. Rand Paul is my first (and nearly only choice) to succeed Donald Trump in 2024 ...

Paul
Is the real deal
Been getting his newsletter for 10 yrs now after I wrote him about the stupid
Mercury curly cue lamps that hurt people
He’s the only one who responded
