Rand Paul Hits It Out of the Ballpark in Staying Above the Fray - Morning Joe 2/9/2017

-so much respect for Rand. It's one thing to be good on issues and theory, but even above his talents in those areas Rand is really quick on his feet in creating good answers to these pundits. The gotcha questions on Trump's tweets regarding the federal judge in Seattle were quickly, and amazingly answered. And after another journalist doubled down on these questions later in the interview alluding to the importance of the separation of powers and Rand's supposed constitutional bonafides, Rand's answers were amazing. That's a real talent to be so quick on his feet... And he's right, where does it say in the Constitution that those employed in the three areas of government cannot be critical of each other?

Rand is well spoken and getting better at playing the game.
