They are attacking him everywhere right now. They've been pushing this narrative that Rand is somehow working for the Russians, Rand couldn't find a better political ally than Trump's populist supporters who have been hypnotized into thinking and selling the idea that the Russian collusion narrative was an inside job manufactured by Hillary Clinton in order to win the 2016 election.
LOL, the Republican party is full of NeverTrumpers.
Even if it wasn't Rand calls them as he sees them and that gets him more respect and credibility with the public than if he was either a blind NeverTrumper or a blind TrumpFan.
Your kind of thinking would have us at war with Russia by now, when the Propaganda ministry puts sends out the signal for a crusade someone has to defy it or the herd will stampede.
That way Trump's supporters would hate Rand's guts and never listen to him in the future, I think Rand is smarter than you.

And, if I click my heels three times and say "Trump," this will occur, or not?
The movement that the reality television character built is defined by hostility to foreigners, pure and simple. The Mexicans are taking our jobs (damn them for engaging in mutually beneficial labor contracts with American farmers); the Chinese are cheating us (i.e. are able to produce goods at a lower cost because of the highly socialistic regulatory regime in this country). I, for one, would prefer to pay higher prices to benefit the AFLCIO...Sorry but you are wrong, even if you were right and Trump personally killed your golden age there is no path back to it through destroying him, the only way forward is to harness the movement he built and bend it in our direction, Rand understands that and you don't.
If we can get the right kind of support for the ideas we may be able to begin getting those things under Trump, if not then we can get them after he is gone.
Again you demonstrate your shallow understanding of MAGA as well as your globalist tendencies, foreigners have been cheating us and stealing from us but Trump has also made it clear that our own elites have done as much or more damage to America and we need to shrink government here at home as well as solve our foreign problems.

Yes it does matter very much, Rand and Trump may keep us from going to war with Russia.
Your assertion gives me hope since you are wrong about almost everything, if you believe Rand won't run for office again that probably means he will.

Rand has no influence with Trump: wish he did, but he doesn't.
Nothing says peace like crushing economic sanctions.He is not licking boots and he is strengthening Trump's hand about peace with Russia.
...the Russian people will be real inclined toward peace after a couple months of eating cat food.
:-/
In other words, he can become a standard republican with no principles, and of no value for libertarians.I doubt Trump will campaign on Rand's support, like it or not Rand doesn't have that kind of influence on many voters yet, Rand on the other hand can go to all the Trump supporters and say: "Hey, I was one of the good guys that stood by Trump when he was right while so many others jumped on the TDS bandwagon" and get them to listen to our ideas.
QED
He does.
Congress has been passing those with VETO proof margins, Trump is walking a tightrope to avoid impeachment, Rand's support is helping him to resist worse anti-Russia actions.
I said nothing about losing his principles, supporting Trump when he is right will get Trump supporters to listen to him without having to sell out.

He has pulled us out of several globalist "trade" deals and the "Paris" accord, cut regulations, increased border/immigration enforcement, picked many originalist judges, undermined the ACA when Congress wouldn't repeal it and begun to fight back in the trade wars.
Those are just what I can come up with off the top of my head.

In other words, he has increased taxes on American consumers?
Which had not gone into effect in any event (and any GOPer would have done the same)and the "Paris" accord
In the same way that Obama went through the budget "line by line."cut regulations
As I posted several months ago, citing the administrations' own figures, this was trivial.
The total regulatory burden is $2-3 TRILLION, whereas Trump's "deregulation" amounted to ~$600 million.
At that rate of deregulation, the market order will be restored in ~5,000 years.
Additional expropriations of private property for the purpose of a service which need not exist.increased border/immigration enforcement
I 100% guarantee that they will not challenge the federal government in any meaningful way.picked many originalist judges
It will be all about abortion, gay marriage, gay cakes, or similarly trivial issues.
The fact that virtually everything that the federal government does is unconstitutional will not even be discussed.
...we're all bolsheviks now.
O, swordsmyth, I'm pretty sure you know better than that. Hence, I'm going to have to call you a dishonest shill.undermined the ACA when Congress wouldn't repeal it
Trump wanted to preserve it; that was the bill he was supporting.
The only person interested in actually repealing it, in the Senate anyway, was Rand.
Rand lost. The ACA is still in effect.
i.e. tax Americans, on the basis of economic ignoranceand begun to fight back in the trade wars.
That was plenty.Those are just what I can come up with off the top of my head.

No, in other words he preserved American sovereignty from globalist world government schemes.
LOL, no establishment Swampublican would have withdrawan us.
He will increase his rate of deregulation as he gets more support in Congress and overcomes the resistance in the bureaucracy and the courts.
That is pure garbage, illegal immigration is a great financial burden and a threat to liberty.
Not so, many important cases go through the court system every year, the decisions will be much more favorable to liberty now.
I did not say anything about what he wanted to replace it with, it is not clear that he actually meant what he said at the time or if he was trying to look "reasonable" when he knew nothing would pass anyway, even if we assume he meant every word he said he has been undermining the ACA rather than leave it as it is.
i.e. protect American workers from foreign government intervention and begin to rebuild our hollowed out economy.
There is more but I don't feel like digging it up for you, you would not modify your TDS if I could prove he held your own exact beliefs.

You will acknowledge that the tariffs are a tax on consumers or not?
I'm sure Mitt Romney or the like would have made the same symbolic move, with Fox news telling people it matters.LOL, no establishment Swampublican would have withdrawan us.
You see, distractions are crucial. Otherwise, people might figure out that the parties are identical.
I shall, tomorrow, begin to shoot lightening bolts out of my ass.He will increase his rate of deregulation as he gets more support in Congress and overcomes the resistance in the bureaucracy and the courts.
It's terrible how illegal immigrants cause 99% of native born Americans to vote for socialism.That is pure garbage, illegal immigration is a great financial burden and a threat to liberty.
Clearly, John Bolton should be allowed to bomb some country for no reason.
Beginning tomorrow, I anticipate acquiring a unicorn which $#@!s money.Not so, many important cases go through the court system every year, the decisions will be much more favorable to liberty now.
An attempt to preserve socialized medicine is obviously an attempt to abolish it.I did not say anything about what he wanted to replace it with, it is not clear that he actually meant what he said at the time or if he was trying to look "reasonable" when he knew nothing would pass anyway, even if we assume he meant every word he said he has been undermining the ACA rather than leave it as it is.
....but only when the President favors socialized medicine, of course, otherwise this would be absurd.
This isn't a 5 minute news cycle thing, its a narrative the neocons have been pushing for over a year now. They started pushing this narrative when Rand was pushing for less expansions of NATO. Rand can't ever run for political office with support like yours though. You give the media narrative credibility when all you do is criticize Rand Paul, he will never accomplish anything with people working against him because they don't like his approach or strategy and cast doubt on his goals and aspirations. If you ever supported liberty you should be singing praise for the beatings Rand has taken trying to protect yours.

By who? Somebody already tried by kicking his ribs in. And before that by shooting at him while he practiced baseball.
Word vomit....It was never a good idea, so be it, but now it's just embarrassing. Communication with Russia in itself is a good thing, but this has no effect on diplomacy, only domestic politics, to the advantage of the nationalist slime presently occupying the "anti-establishment" space and so shutting libertarians out. If no one's noticed, Trump has relegated libertarianism to the sidelines. This doesn't help with that problem.

You are in such a twisted state of being. Just a conglomerate of twisted, contradicting visions, to justify your sad existence. You'll go to any length to keep yourself the moral purist.
I know, you are the morally superior, with your morals, and nothing to show for it, at all. But at least in the end, you could claim the highest morality.
In all reality, that just makes you worthless, and I don't mean to "Americans", but to the most dangerous species in the world, humans.
And worthless is immoral, when there are so many doing their part.
IS THE COLD WAR OVER?
Swordsmyth, any Blue Wave riptide reversal of Trump's executive orders by actual legislation could trigger
a LBJ level tsunami of activity. You keep on assuming the younger demographic is loathe to contemplate
what you and I might label as socialism. A legislature with a proverbial "bit in the teach" can more than
chasten a chief executive. Three years ago, I never would have compared DJT to Charles Ist, ole Andy
Johnson and clever TrickyDick Nixon, but here I am staring at the controlled chaos of 2018 and a big
TUMs pile that MITCH McCONNELL has jistgobbled up with a SeanSpicer level of compulsiveness 2 it.
