Massie did a good job
He said he spoke to Trump before the vote. He should apologize to Massie for that tweet IMO but I doubt he will.
Any video?

Rep. Massie did great, as expected. What I hated about that interview is whenever Rep. Massie would give a moral, logical reason for the steps his took, even appealing to the Constitution, Cavuto would ignore that by asking him some emotion-driven question about health concerns, which doesn't excuse Congress from its civil duty to work through this "crisis" that they've deemed is so dire as to force quick resolution by a bill.
These people just don't get it, but they'll be the first ones to complain and point fingers once the bill fails as it works its way through the economy.

I've seen libertarians interview people about various subjects and ask questions a libertarian would never ask, but because other people might want to know the answer they ask it anyway.
John Stossel is a good example, often when he interviews people he will ask people questions from a very anti-libertarian mindset so that he can get a response or a soundbite to help the libertarian argument, then sometimes after they answer he will go back into libertarian mode and help them answer it better.
Cavuto asked his questions, gave Massie the floor and didn't really argue with him or cut him off, just presented him with questions that some people have.

"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
I understand that, but I wish Cavuto would've asked some follow-up questions, like, "Congressman Massie, why is it that your colleagues have such a hard time obeying the Constitution," or "What are the planks of the Republican Party that you believe makes you the most consistent Republican in D.C.?"
Cavuto gave the impression that Rep. Massie was in serious error for calling a quorum, as if he dared to put other people's health at risk, instead of acknowledging that he understood why Rep. Massie did it.
At least Cavuto didn't cut him off. I'll give him that.

He's going to have to apologize if he thinks he can sucker someone like me into voting for him again.
If Trump is going to be targeting the handful of people that give me hope, he becomes unacceptable to me.
Massie has supported Trump throughout all the crap that the democrats did to him. He has now been generous enough to give Trump an out, by saying that he doesn't think Trump understood (end of one of his interviews). Trump better latch onto that, tone down the crap, and acknowledge that the rage is all about Massie having the audacity to inconvenience a bunch of self-important elitists - who should have remained in DC till their job was completed!
