Looks Like Rand Paul & Trump Are Buddies Now

Welcome back to the forum, isn't Ted Cruz the one pushing for Bolton? If I recall correctly...

Thanks. Yeah, Cruz has been a disappointment. It looked like Cruz was moving our way on foreign policy back in 2013, back when non intervention was more popular. Now that it's less popular he's a hawk once again.

It looks like Rand Paul learned from Ted Cruz-It looks like he is trying to use Sméagol / Gollum/ Trump's political duality to promote liberty policies while using Trump as a megaphone. It might work extra good because Trump supporters will try to advance Rand Paul's policies because they think they are Trumps.

It's not like Trump backs down or changes positions people just always thinks he holds their position. The media tried to portray Rand Paul as just another Trump cheerleader but this is even bigger. Now I understand the Trump youtube channels with Rand Paul videos. Looks like the mods will get the last laughs for not banning the Trump supporters.

Atleast that's what I get from his blinking in his recent videos, either that or he has been replaced by double. lol

Trump knows he has to throw the libertarian wing some bones in hopes that we pipe down and let them continue to carry out the larger bankster agenda on their own narrative. Trump is controlled and doing what he's told to.

I don't think he's throwing any bones to the libertarians. He has proven himself to be a pretty predictable guy. If you're against him, you're enemies but if you're sincerely with him, he will treat you as a friend. When Rand was an aggressive enemy, Trump fought back but Rand decided to get smart early on and didn't get too crazy with any #nevertrump messaging. Rand is being positive when necessary and critical when necessary and Trump predictably finds that as acceptable.

Predictably full of shit, sure. He's a giant walking, talking distraction.

That's certainly a good way to describe yourself. "Devil" is a very fitting name as well.

No surprise one of the oldest RPF neocon shill accounts would reappear once Trump starts dropping the charade and becoming the neocon lefty he always was. Are you back to manage the sheep's perception again on behalf of Goldman? Or will you change the handle again when the real members here start calling you out again?

I didn't realize that "neocons" were opposed to John Bolton as national security adviser. Of course you guys label anyone a "neocon" who isn't 100% non interventionist in every single instance.

Bolton is the extreme. I'm sure you'll support a "moderate" alternative soon enough. Whoever it is must be better than Bolton, right?

No one could be worse than Bolton, that's for sure. The others Trump is considering would only be less bad, nowhere close to ideal.

Thanks for giving yourself up so quickly. New TC demanded. At least make it a little challenging.

Unlike Justin Amash...Rand Paul, Massie and Brat are smart. Rather than unnecessarily criticize Trump and obfuscate the issues, they are working with Trump try and swing him to more liberty oriented stance.

Not sure if its whats actually happening but it appears Pence is playing a larger role in the administration than past VPs. Probably because they are all hands on deck right now, theres probably a very short list of trusted advisors to Trump, all swords are pointed against them.

When you have a clueless President, someone has to pick up the slack.
