Drama Queen.
The DNC isn’t afraid of the GOP-e Senate.

Rand Paul is a loose cannon. But he’s a smart guy, and I love it when I agree with him.

In terms of his political philosophy I’d say I’m closer to Rand Paul than to any other member of Congress. If that makes him a “loose cannon,” then so be it. I actually find his candor refreshing.

On this matter Paul isn’t nuts. On others, that’s debatable.

The guy scares me on some things, but he is 100% correct on this.

“If that makes him a “loose cannon,” then so be it.”

I’m more in the libertarian camp, so many of Sen. Paul’s positions are fine by me. What makes him a loose cannon is that he doesn’t seem to be able to employ pragmatism, and sometimes, that is required.

RINO Senators should be put on record.
The rest will take care of itself.

It seems to me that this might be an outcome Mitch would come to prefer for a number of reasons. If the mud slinging starts in the Senate his wife’s family might start to draw fire. Prevents Trump from turning the Senate into a three ring circus. Thumbs Nancy in the eye. This outcome seems so logical. Then again, it’s DC. Logic is in short supply there.

Why is the word “polarizing” applied to Trump’s witnesses and not to Schiff’s witnesses?

I don’t always agree with Rand but I admire his fighting spirit.

He’s much more pragmatic than he often seems. He’ll make outlandish statements at times, but at the end of the day he votes in a very pragmatic way.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Most of us regard you kindly as more of a loser cannon.

I have no use for Paul. Some of his comments are very negative, and come at the absolute worst times.

It’s hard for the president to turn public opinion, and this generally involves having to prove the press and Left wrong.

Trump will get on top of things and have done the job of turning things around, and then a guy like Paul comes along and pulverizes the momentum shift.

It’s every damaging. It’s part of the reason why Leftists never get it. They see our own confusing things.

Shouldn’t he be threatening to call ICIG Atkinson, The CIA Spy, Schiff’s Staff and Schiff himself to get to the Beginning of this farce??

Seems to me if these witnesses were called a lot of Democrats would go to Prison.

Say what you like about Rand Paul but he does know how to get media coverage.

Now if only he puts that coverage to good use.

He’s a "loose cannon" because he actually has principles, and isn’t afraid to voice them, even if unpopular. He’s publicly disagreed with Trump about some things, but he does it in the open. He doesn’t stab Trump in the back.

Rand Paul is like the old Democrat Congressman from Ohio who was right half the time and wrong half the time. I can’t remember his name. He used to wear a toupee that looked like a racoon.
