How does someone commit treason against a person?
He is a NeverTrumper at heart and he will run against Trump in 2020 for sure.
Nothing in his reasoning states he did this because he backs the DEMs on illegal immigration. Appears to be purely for fiscal reasons.
Praises the tax cut. Points out ridiculous spending. Critcizes the deficit and continuing extensions. What am i missing. These are supportive of what trump said and the tax cut.
We all know that loose in the loafers Linda Gramnesty is just a POS RINO.
Rand is even worse and anyone who is still supporting this wretched, nasty, virtue signaler is stupid.
Because he voted no on the spending bill? That’s not treason, and it’s not aimed against Trump, either. I don’t think having a bad spending bill passed really helps Trump in any way - the Democrats are shutting down the government over illegal aliens, their voting base of the future. Let them own that fact and stew in it.
You can't commit treason against Trump, Obama, Bush. You commit treason against the United States.
It’s sad that so many Trump supporters are willing to abandon the United States, the Constitution, God, to join a cult of personality. The greatest country, the greatest Constitution in the world, abandoned like so much trash.
By the way, you violated FR rules by changing the title.
Sen. Rand Paul explains why he's a 'no' on spending bill
PAUL’S A KOOK! PAUL’S OFF HIS MEDS!
You don’t have to approve of Rand Paul, his politics, or his vote, but seriously: “commits TREASON** against DJT” ??
1. You are not supposed to change headlines (unless you wish you were attempting to post a vanity...)
2. Hyperbole, favorite tool of the left, does not help the cause.
Frankly, I think John McCain is far closer to having committed Treason, reserve that term for him.
**the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign’s family
I don’t see that he turned on DJT. He doesn’t like the CR for fiscal reasons.
FURP!
I’m all for fiscal restraint, but this is the wrong time rand Paul, dumb move.
Rand Paul is one of the few politicians that doesn’t bend on principle.
Unwavering Pro-Life and unwavering 2nd Amendment.
I believe Rand Paul’s fiscal stances are just act. They all have their roles to play. Trey Gowdy must always play the part of the guy that asks hard questions in investigations that never go anywhere. In the end, they are all just swamp dwellers.
Come on. This is all pre-arranged in advance. Trump doesn’t have a stronger ally in the Senate than Rand Paul.
Senator Rand Paul turns on DJT.
and this is not the first time.
I disagree. I agree with everything Rand Paul said in the article. Now, if we could just get a majority of either party to think like he does, we’d see a huge turnaround in our country. But sadly, Paul is just spitting in the wind, because until we get a majority of REAL conservatives in office, he’s about the only one who’s thinking straight. He’s more conservative than most of the conservatives in congress, though he’s a libertarian. He’d make a FABULOUS Speaker!. But in the meantime, yes, maybe he should have voted in favor of the spending bill, but he’s standing on his principles, and besides, he knew the democrats weren’t going to let us get to 60 votes.
Trump needs to demand the RNC cut these people off and have McConnell remove them from the committee leadership positions.
