No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender of Obamacare can be accepted

Senator Rand Paul has a real opportunity this week to turn himself into a real, true presidential contender in either 2020, should President Trump not run for re-election, or in 2024. He can do that by becoming the deciding vote to pass the Graham/Cassidy Obamacare reform bill in the U.S. Senate. Yes, he would need either Lisa Murkowski or Susan Collins to also act like real Republicans and support the bill, but Murkowski definitely seems to be get-able in that regard.
Think about it: By casting that single vote, Rand Paul could become a hero to President Trump’s voter base – which according to recent polls makes up a strong majority of the GOP’s total voter base – a hero to everyone who hates the execrable jerk John McCain – which also makes up a majority of the GOP total voter base – and a hero to the millions of Americans who have seen their ability to access real healthcare insurance decimated by Obamacare. Yes, it would go against the Senator’s precious libertarian principles, but at some point, if he truly wants to be president – as he seemed to sort of want to during the 2016 campaign – actually getting stuff done is going to have to supersede those principles.
This week could be a real, true Rand Paul moment. Is he smart enough to realize it, and take advantage of it? Sadly, the smart money is probably on ‘no.’

(Not a come on, just the only similar quote I could think of off the top of my head. Tryin' to keep up.)
p.s. normally I would be watching football right now. And my Chargers are on. I strangely find myself not interested after a lifetime of footballness. Interesting. I shall study this phenomenon further. In the nonce, I shall freep.
So anyway, back to Rand Paul’s hair. Do you think that doo cost three dollars or did his Mom do it for free around the kitchen table after supper when Pa went to town for supplies.

this thread sure took a weird twist

My fault, sorry. See tagline.
What do haircuts on the tarmac cost these days? I’m sure he’s too important to go into a salon.
