Sen. Rand Paul Issues Stark Warning to Trump: ‘He Will Lose the 2024 Election if He Continues to Support Speaker Johnson’

Sen. Rand Paul has directed a stern warning at former President Trump, cautioning that his continued backing of Speaker Johnson could alienate a significant portion of his base.

“If Trump supports this monstrous, unpaid for foreign aid debt buster, he will lose the very supporters who comprise his vanguard. Mark my words,” Sen. Rand Paul warned.

Senator Paul needs to answer this question: What’s the exist strategy for Republicans if they vacate the Speaker’s position again?

It would be far better to wait until the next Congress to enact a penalty against Mike Johnson than to do it mid-year and face a very real possibility of a Democrat Speaker.

Of course, this is the dirty little secret - most politicians on both sides of the aisle are willing to do whatever it takes to prevent Donald Trump from winning another term in the White House.

That’s what he has done. He has less than a week to fix that or he’s done.

Johnson totally capitulated on border security—the most important issue facing us today!

How can anyone trust him after that?

The likes of me areeople who know that President Trump is our lost hope short of war. The man has put his LIFE in the line directly the US, he is fighting for US, and you want to abandon him?

It’s a huge problem that Deep State saboteurs run the Republicans in Congress.

Show me one example of Schumer / Jeffries stabbing the Dems in the back and working for Conservative issues. Just one.

The Media is not going to report the obviously compromised “leaders” and the money train is so huge and powerful there’s no competing.

Do you know that Johnson and his team inserted in the FISA that the Intel agencies need a Warrant to listen to a Congressmen, but no warrant to listen and surveil you?

It’s hard to imaging saving this unaccountable behemoth the Feds have.

It’s easy for Paul to say this from his cushy Senate Office in DC, while President Trump is being tried because he is standing up for America.

This is the sort of thing from Rand Paul that has prevented me from ever fully trusting him. Rand Paul is one of these purists, who either can’t think strategically or just doesn’t care about the consequences because he’s more interested in standing on principle than winning.

Everybody knows Johnson’s career as GOP leader is destined to be a short one. Trump understands that as well as anyone. All you have to do is read between the lines of Trump’s recent statements on the matter to figure that out. But to oust Johnson now, without a plan for how to replace him, is very risky at the moment, with only 7 months until the election, a razor thin House majority, and a Democrat party waiting to pounce on any vulnerability.

Trump’s position on this will only hurt his election chances if Rand Paul’s short sighted assessment of the situation is shared by most of Trump voters. Fortunately it’s not.

I agree and no one is asking Johnson WHY he didn’t appropriate any money for the border wall or border security.

Johnson is the wrong horse to back. His colors are showing.

And those colors are blue and white, not red, white, and blue. Johnson cares not at all for this country, or for the people he was elected to represent.

Yet Paul is among the 10 best Senators.

Sad.

“while President Trump is being tried because he is standing up for America”

He is not standing up for America when he supports Johnson’s traitorous acts. He is siding with the deep state against Americans.

In opposition they are like Jesse Helms. Once in the majority, they turn into Mitt Romney."

As country western singer Jim Nesbit once remarked,

'This year, here is the the promised land.
They'll promise you this, promise you that,
But when they get in, they'll leave you flat.
Won't even know you.
You have to march to get what you want."
