Has Paul stated a reason for his opposition? Does it appear valid? I’ll reserve judgement until I hear it.
OK- found this: Some senators may be worried that CIA Director Mike Pompeo, tapped by Donald Trump to be the next secretary of state, agrees with the president too much. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says his concern is exactly the opposite.
Paul worries that Pompeo might disagree with Trump’s instincts on the seemingly never-ending war in Afghanistan.
The senator argues that Trump was elected in part because of his desire to end that war and his strong opposition to nation building.
