Rand is jumping the shark, I can't take him seriously any more .... Yes many of his views are correct, but he sounds like a wind up toy robot made in the image of his father ... just spouting pre-recorded stuff - like a brand rather than a thinking man.

Has anyone read A Prayer for Owen Meany? He sounds like Owen, but a robot Owen with 20 prerecorded messages.

Cruz’s speech has forced the hands of the DC GOP. They have to reveal themselves now. I mean read this and think about how radically different what Cruz did was.

“But I would also encourage people to watch very carefully what happens after that. After that you have a voice vote. A voice vote is still a vote. Let’s be clear, standing here on the floor, there were two senators — Senator Lee and I — who voted aye, who voted to table the tree and take up the amendment barring funding for Planned Parenthood and barring funds for this catastrophic Iranian nuclear deal. The remaining senators on the Republican side — you had Leader McConnell; you had Whip Cornyn; you had Senator Alexander; you had Senator Cochran — those four senators voted loudly no. It’s still a vote, even thought it’s not a recorded vote. It’s a vote on the Senate floor.”
