I think Paul’s heart is right in this case - but for some reason extremely naive... for a guy who’s been around this garbage long enough to know better.
What Rand outlined is the way stuff is SUPPOSE to work in DC - with an elected body of statement who have what is best for the country in heart - even if they have differing viewpoints on what is “best”.
When you have a legislative body made up mostly of statements - they will indeed have constructive compromise - and often actually find the best way forward. Sadly - we discarded that kind of leadership with its statesmen years ago - and now elect partisan hacks who simply go for their pet, pocket-padding (their own) agendas.
Constructive compromise between the Dems and their uniparty, GOPe counterparts is of course a massive amnesty and open borders with close to zero interior enforcement.
Paul’s not stupid.
I think it comes from his learning at the knee of his Dad, who was half brilliant, half crazy.
