Trump would counter with Rand having voted for sanctions on Iran; wanting to partition Iraq and Syria to create a Kurdish 'homeland' and exile Assad. Rand has no moral or principled authority on this one.
In a Facebook post, the Kentucky senator said his three concerns were: “1) sanctions relief precedes evidence of compliance, 2) Iran is left with significant nuclear capacity, 3) it lifts the ban on selling advanced weapons to Iran.”

Right. So, Rand is going to completely ignore Jeffersons' advice.http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/...ion-with-isis/
Rand: ‘Assad Going Into Exile’ Would Be ‘Part Of the Solution’ With ISIS

Kentucky Senator and GOP presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) argued that “part of the solution” to fighting ISIS “would be Assad going into exile” on Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead.”
“There’s a couple things I would do. One, I would promise the Kurds a homeland. They’re the best fighters over there, and I would equip them directly with arms. ...” Rand stated.
Rand continued, “... I would go to the Turks and I would say to the Turks and to the Kurds, I would say, ‘What about the Kurds having a homeland within Iraq, and maybe within that little sliver of Syria ...? But the Kurds would have to give up pretension to wanting land in Turkey ...”
He concluded, “... So part of the solution would be Assad going into exile ...”
And the advice of Adams,"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations - entangling alliances with none."
But Rand isn't done yet. He also wants to intervene in a squabble between Russia and Ukraine."America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force....""
The obvious question to Rand with regards to Russia meeting his expectations is, "Or what? What would Rand do to Russia if it does not honor the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum?"http://www.paul.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=1115
Sen. Paul’s Statement on Situation in Ukraine

Sen. Rand Paul today issued the following statement in reaction to the developing situation in Ukraine:
"We live in an interconnected world and the United States has a vital role in the stability of that world. The United States should make it abundantly clear to Russia that we expect them to honor the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which the U.S., Russia, and the United Kingdom reaffirmed their commitment 'to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.'
At least Trump has the good sense to not start dividing up Iraq and Syria and he also wants to avoid Ukraine ...
... and bring our troops home from Afghanistan ...http://russia-insider.com/en/politic...n-world/ri9118

"... 'Let me explain first of all — this [Ukraine] is Europe’s problem much more than ours, OK?' Trump told CNN during a trip to Scotland.
"... 'But why isn’t Germany leading this one?' Trump asked. 'You know Germany is a very rich, very powerful nation. Why aren’t they dealing on it more so? Everything the United States — we’re like the policeman of the world.'"

Q: Afghanistan ... What I'm getting from you though is you would withdraw US troops out of Afghanistan.
A: "Yes, I would."
Good points. Bolton and Trump do appear to see things much differently, and that's a good thing because Bolton is a warmonger.
Firstly, who says Rand wouldn't get us out of Afghanistan? Secondly, what is Trump going to do when he tells Putin to send Snowden home, and Putin says, 'Or what?' Thirdly, whose oil is Rand Paul out to steal? And how is Trump going to hold that ground long enough to pump that oil out without creating any entangling alliances?
No. As we saw after the debate, Trump won't engage in any fights he knows he's going to lose.

That may be true. Didn't he say that Iran was funneling money to ISIS?
