Some advise is better communicated privately.

Let’s have some confidence, Senator Rand, that Donald Trump - who rejected us getting into Iraq - will follow through on his America First foreign policy.

Rand’s opponent was Jim Gray, the gay mayor of Lexington who has a male spouse.

Kentuckians were not likely to send Gray and his husband to DC.

Too bad Rand Paul didn’t win the Presidency, because what he thinks doesn’t matter. And he has bad hair.

Haha.

Much as I hate to admit it but Rand does have a point. Trump’s foreign policy should be his and his alone, and not someone else’s acting under the guise of his administration. Whoever Trump names has to be under no illusions as to who is in charge. Can Bolton and Giuliani do that?

People in TN still like him: they are too uninformed to know the real Corker.

“Rand barely said a word to help to defeat Hillary Criminal. Now he’s a loud mouth. How precious.”

Except that he was one of the first to talk about Benghazi being used as a trans-shipment point of arms to ISIS, and that Hillary should have been fired for that. If folks who were listening were too dense to read between the lines and understand the implications of what he was saying, oh well.

I may be one of the few in this forum who happens to agree with Paul on Bolton and Giuliani. Giuliani is a cross-dressing, anti-gun, pro-homo liberal. Personnel is policy. I do not agree that we need to be pre-emptively nuking Iran and in the process killing millions of innocent people over there. Bolton, as far as I can tell is a hard-core neocon. Personnel is policy. No thanks.

If we can talk to the Russians, why can’t we talk to the Iranians?

“Can Bolton and Giuliani do that?”

That’s a really good question. Eliot Cohen just bailed so there is hope that a Trump administration will be relatively inhospitable to the neocons.

Rand was quiet after the primaries mostly. Then cut and run on Trump when the bullets started to fly. Now he’s self servingly marching at the front of the parade. How brave of him. Sorry, I’m not interested.
