Rand: ‘America First’ Vision Has Won Out Hearts and Minds of Public, But Neocons Still Trying to Secretly ‘Undermine’ Trump

Breitbart News ^ | May 28 | Matthew Boyle

[RandFan]

Rand warns the Neocons are still there waiting and plotting for their moment

[RandFan]

Oh and kindly note another positive piece from Rand about the administration

[backpacker_c]

In this shill article by rand paul, he tries to kiss Trump's *ss to cover for joining with the rino GOPe and left to oppose Trump's budget bill

[bray]

Put your cuts where your mouth is Rand.

[RandFan]

He’s sincere on foreign policy and is warning about the neocons

[madison10]

So what?

[RandFan]

Always remain vigilant

[backpacker_c]

He’s sincere on foreign policy and is warning about the neocons

----

Sure he is...

While he's stated he's not going to vote to pass the budget bill

likely ensuring Trump and the republicans lose seats in the midterms, and losing the house and senate

and letting the leftist gain complete control of the country, and getting Trump impeached again

[Jaysin]

Are any names actually named?

[Macho MAGA Man]

I’m sure Rand is thrilled the International Trade Court led by an Obama appointed judge has neutralized all the Trump tariffs.

[Old West Conservative]

Sen. Paul should know.

He’s one of the traitors trying to undermine President Trump.

[RandFan]

Harsh — no one is perfect

[CptnObvious]

What is a Neocon?

[dforest]

Yes they are. He has one big fat neocon dealing in foreign policy regarding Ukraine. A person who is misleading him. I imagine State Dept still full of traitors.

That person needs a kick to the curb.

[RandFan]

Can you expand on that? I’m not up to speed.

Not surprised the traitors are still kicking around.

[Skwor]

Rand is serious about nothing but his own self-promotion.

RandFan: "Rand warns the Neocons are still there waiting and plotting for their moment"

CptnObvious: "What is a Neocon?"

The word "Neocon" has become a weapon of choice amongst our neo-isolationists -- it's now used with the same disregard for definitions, and the same malicious intent, as the Left uses with such terms as "fascist" or "Nazi".
In practice it simply means, "I really, really don't like you so I'm going to call you the most despicable word I can think of."

Yes, years ago there were actual neocons, just as there were actual fascists & Nazis, but none of those terms apply to today's American Republicans.
When Trump talks about "neocons", he's talking about Bush & McCain type international nation-builders, global interventionists, aggressive war-starters, the people who thought the US could turn Iraq & Afghanistan into Jeffersonian democracies, or helped destroy Libya for no discernable reason, etc.

Pres. Trump's foreign & defense policy is "Peace Through Strength".
Our neo-isolationists want to ignore the "Strength" part and interpret "Peace" to mean "run and hide", "keep our heads in the sand", "pretend our oceans can still defend us", and "retreat, retreat, retreat whenever challenged."

That is not Pres. Trump's policy -- never was, never will be.
He is not talking about ignoring every challenge or retreating from every international bully.

He does insist we pick our fights carefully and work first & foremost to achieve Peace Through Strength.

[RandFan]

But dforest says they’re still lurking ready to takeover the G.O.P again

You must remain active and VP Vance MUST prevail.

[Sir_Humphrey]

“Rand is serious about nothing but his own self-promotion.”

Yeah that and actually reducing government spending.

[Sir_Humphrey]

Maybe if the bill actually cut spending and started to reduce the debt, it would be worth supporting. No way we should be supporting it only because Trump supports it. We went from $2 Trillion being cut and $5K rebate checks to this.
