● Is Rand right to hold out like this?
● Do you have faith Donald will lay out detailed plans to address these concerns soon?
● Do you feel the same way as Rand?
He’s is privileged. God help others if they did this. I think he should not be given any leeway that we don’t give others. He should be vilified as all the others who don’t immediately endorse president Trump. Why should he get understanding?
Sorry, but Rand Paul sounds like a fool here.
Most pols are not going to question the “Science”, including Trump. But Rand knows the boondoggery of the Plandemic.
Just another Republican egomaniac.
Rand’s hobby horse is that he is a libertarian. Trump isn’t.
Wake up Rand Paul. WHAT is the alternative? STOP being coy. WHAT is YOUR great plan? WHO do you “represent”?
I admire much about Rand. He will eventually endorse and campaign for President Trump. I think he is just trying to point out some of the things that are particularly important to him. The average IQ in Congress is much lower than most people realize (I know someone who has served there ... average IQ there is shockingly low). Pretty-people with good people skills, or moron constituents, get elected to Congress and embed themselves sometimes for life. Rand is intelligent and thoughtful. Is he perfect? No one is. But I think he loves the country and I wish there were more like him in Congress.
Fauci and pharma killed, destroyed, crippled millions worldwide. Questioning them will never be justice. American killing of innocent humans.
Rand Paul: Just like his dad.
If he waits too long to endorse Trump his endorsement will be meaningless.
Rand Paul is one of the few Republicans calling for fiscal responsibility
Waiting for Trump to vouch to cut spending before endorsing is silly considering it’s his institution that keeps increasing the budget. Not really on the President.
The only significant flaw in the Constitution is the Great Compromise and made even worse by the 17th Amendment. It is the senate at large that is a significant reason this country is in the mess it is in.
Look at the dems and their preferential presidential choices and you need not to go back far, Biden, Obama, Cankles, Kerry, Gore and this is just the finalists, how about Harris just for ‘giggles’ and that’s just the beginning.
Rather than bash Paul for certain issues or a particular vote a reminder is in order to state how sick these omnibus bills are, that goes for Congress too. The sickness we see in our country today wasn’t brought about by Paul, Trump etc. but the redistribution of wealth largely stamped by the senate, Paul (like many) is a victim of this. The Founders didn’t envision that someday in the future the senate would be controlled by a political party rather than the resident of a particular state, that’s my answer.
He’s negotiating. There’s something he wants.
Pres. Trump has shown - to my satisfaction - that he fully understands how he was manipulated by Fauci and Birx and the vast pro-Chicom elite, and is already taking steps to ensure a better cadre of assistants than the permanent bureaucracy provides.
To my mind, Sen. Paul is 100% is justified playing ‘wait and see’ - for now. But he damn well knows there is no worthy alternative anywhere in sight. And Trump’s advisors need to pull Paul into Trump’s orbit, and not with mere word-play.
The situation is as serious as it gets. And there are no sidelines; only a very dangerous playing field. So, take the field, pick a speck of turf and defend it.
IMHO for the sake of the country there is no other choice than Trump.
Trump knows things that Rand Paul does not know. In time he will be enlightened.
I repeat: in 2017 when I was at Trump Tower with Steve Bannon we discussed Senate allies.
Randy wasn’t one.

more vocal on things like the lockdowns that I opposed, like the civil liberties abuses that I opposed, like the debt, which frankly, has been bad under Republicans and Democrats, ......
2 weeks to slow the spread was ‘Science’...
Trump, hoax impeached twice in just 4 short years of public office,would have had 3 or 4 more impeachments had he gone against ‘Science’...
Rand isn’t MAGA enough for me..
He’s spent way too much time in the Co Owned Swamp to be preachy..
Action on Fauci. Sure, throw him and his gang in jail. Does anyone on FR not agree with criticism of Fauci?!
What else does Rand Paul want? The article, and I broke FR tradition by opening and reading the link, does not say?
If I had Rand Paul's leverage, I'd ask for the following:
Get a commitment to deport 60 million illegals.
Get a commitment to build the entire wall, not just another 200 miles that Trump is now promising.
Get a commitment to cut off countries like India and China that don't take back deportees as Trump 1.0 promised.
Get a commitment to end H1B not again increase them as Trump 1.0 did.
Get a commitment to send H1B home, not let them stay as Trump 1.0 did.
Get a commitment to implement E-Verify.
Get a commitment to fire all appointees and not let them stay as Trump 1.0 did.
Maybe, specifically, for Rand Paul, a commitment to support for him to replace McConnell.
Yes, I'm sure most of us support Trump, but getting him to actually do what we want is not directly possible for most of us. Pending more details on what he is asking for, I'm not going to criticize Rand Paul for using the leverage he has.
I have faith that Trump will address his concerns.
