Wonder what Trump had to give Paul in return for his vote?
A strong handshake.
Promise that a thug that looks like Stormy’s husband doesn’t beat him up in a parking lot?
Trump probably had to promise no to destroy Paul on twitter.
A sense of humor and a personality?
A warning!
Self defense lessons.
Hopefully a coming action that will make Lindsey Graham, John McCain, CNN and other members of the pro-war party very unhappy. Like Senator Paul has repeatedly stated, President Trump in the campaign was very much against future Mideast adventures.
The names of two Democrats that said they would for Pompeo. End run!
Maybe Rand Paul came to his senses without the President’s help.
Consider, if he has future Executive office aspirations, withholding support for Trump’s Sec of State nominee when he voted for BHO Sec of State Kerry would not be forgotten and never forgiven. And the fall out could be worse for him if Pompeo was not affirmed. Like maybe being challenged the next time he runs for Senate, and should he survive, people in his own party won’t vote for him in the general to teach him a lesson, even if it means voting for a democrap.
People who pick the party nominees are a different breed than the general election voters. They never forget betrayal, especially if he sides with Democrats to bring about the defeat of a Repub issue / person / nominee.
What do you think Trump might have given him - how about a talk about how those who keep sabotaging his program will have lots of competition in upcoming elections and have the truth about their “principles” tweeted weekly....
