So the premise of this article is, he would be a great SoS but it’s a mistake to confirm him only because democrats don’t support him?

Rand Paul is perfectly consistent, but only in the way his simplistic ideology comes before everything else.

Paul jumped onto this too early and now has been too stubborn.

Unfortunate — I have seen him as an improved version of his father, but this is very much the wrong hill to stand on.

I’m afraid getting tackled by his nutty neighbor has addled Rand Paul’s brain.

This is ridiculous. The treasonous John Kerry and Hillary Clinton were approved. You can call the office of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and express your opinion at

I fear our Republic cannot long endure when nearly half the country refuses to honor the outcome of lawful elections.

Pompeo just made a great visit to see the leader of NK, to set the table for the single biggest Trump victory ever.

Now backstabbing senators are telling the world they don’t have confidence in Trump’s emissary.

If the NK deal collapses, lay it right at the feet of these traitors.

Trump should tweet on this.

The article mentions Rex Tillerson so not a 100% hijack.

Rex should have NEVER been considered for any office. He is the one who lead the gaystapo’s efforts to get the Boy Scouts to abandon the Scout’s duty to God and fully accept the depravity and perversion of homosexuality.

“I fear our Republic cannot long endure when nearly half the country refuses to honor the outcome of lawful elections.”

They won’t let Trump be president.

Agreed...I believe President Trump will have much to say about Paul if he doesn’t come around and vote for Pompeo and he should rip Chuckie a new one over the Rats not supporting this nominee.

Sounds as if Paul has just nailed his own coffin.
