RAND PAUL FORCES MITCH MCCONNELL TO PULL BILL OFF SENATE FLOOR OVER REFUGEE HOUSING: ‘I WILL NOT BACK DOWN’

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)93%
forced his own party’s leadership to yank a bill off the floor of the Senate on Thursday over refugee housing, a significant political and policy victory for the Kentucky Senator and 2016 GOP presidential candidate.

Paul also blasted Senate leadership on Thursday for not considering his amendment to the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development funding bill that would have blocked any current refugees in the United States from getting public housing.

“Well I think what boggles my mind is the biggest issue in our country right now is keeping us safe from attack,” Paul told Breitbart News on Thursday afternoon when reached by phone. “My amendment tells the president that we don’t approve of bringing more people here from the Middle East until we have adequate controls on who’s here already. My amendment was not only pertinent to the biggest issue of the day, it was also germane to the bill. Both parties tried to stop me from offering it and that’s a tragedy.”

Well i hope this gets more coverage than just Breitbart. He is considered establishment for endorsing Mitch over there, now this has them changing their tune.

He's getting some love on Breitbart comments right now.

The new theory over in the comment section is that this is a trick, and it seems that Trump supporters are the only ones who can detect it. Yes the ones who believe Donald Trump is anti-establishment.

[LatinsforPaul]

My favorite part...

The significance of what just happened can’t be understated. Paul just took on the Senate Majority Leader of his own political party–who’s also from his own state of Kentucky–and won.

Changing their tune? Not in the latest block of comments I saw. Maybe the tone of sentiment differs in some other section of comments, that I didn't see; but most of what I saw somehow got translated in the demented minds of the writers to "GO TRUMP". The bile rising in my throat stopped me from reading comments further. Good article but apparently most Breitbart commenters aren't strong in the critical thinking skills category. SMDH.

Rand has the sweet spot on this issue. He can be "tough on terror", while all he's really doing is stopping welfare transfers.

Yeah, i didn't see a whole lot of that, but you are correct about the critical thinking part. Some will not listen to reason or give credit where credit is due. There is no getting through to those people.

This issue is also making him look good on border security and immigration. For Trump supporters this is the main issue and the core reason they are voting for Trump.

Most of these Trump-bots have the stench of astro-turf on them. I've engaged these people several times over there and all of their responses sound 100% canned. There are about 10-12 accounts on there that represent the bulk of the pro-Trump comments, and occasional single drive-by pro-Trump comments that look like sock accounts. I'm not saying that Trump's poll number's aren't real (most people are stupid enough to believe his crap), but the type of people who are supporting him are not motivated to the point of playing volunteer internet hit-man. This all smells like paid staff to me.

Cruz followers are just as bad after meeting a craze lady fanatic of his.................

I hope Rand keeps up the fight!

Paid just like his announcement lmao. Man I missed the handout for that day!

[Origanalist]

Put my 2 cents in there.

Waiting for Cruz to take credit for in 5-4-3....

[Anti-Neocon]

The MSM has been completely blacking out Rand as an actual Presidential candidate is basically taking on the role of protecting us from ISIS all by himself in the Senate.

Thank mr. skeltal

[Liberty74]

It's all part of Paul's master plan. It almost seems as though he is trying to time his rise in this race as everything gets closer to Iowa. Hence, his rhetoric and fine tuning his message is taking shape. And now this, taking on Mitchell.

Moo ha ha.....

[garyallen59]

Drudge this and submit it to The Blaze. This will help cool off some of the people that can't get over the McConnell endorsement.

I had a feeling this was coming at some point. I knew Rand wouldn't let that endorsement hang over his head forever.

[tommyrp12]

Just sent Drudge the news tip.

[Dr. Dog]

Keep the comments coming. Looking really positive over there.

Is he playing the 3D chess-master again?

He said in this interview if they try to do a cloture vote tomorrow, he is prepared to filibuster:

I don't know, if a good opportunity arises, Rand will usually take it but it doesn't always work. I do hope it works though.

Perception here being that Rand is taking on Mitch (almost every Republican HATES outside of KY) and that he is being anti-establishment while being seen as the protector of people's tax dollars against unneeded welfare for non-Americans.
